I tried dark themes, because they looked cool, but they didn't cut it for me. Then Edge came to be.
Thank you all for the downloads and the kind comments and votes!
Should anything go wrong, ask! If you like it, please leave a comment.
Installation: Extract the tarball to your home folder then see the readme file for detailed instructions on applying the theme.

Thank you!
I never thought Edge would endure this long, but it seems KDE 4.x is doing it wonders… :evil: :P

There are so many themes, much better than this one, that deserve this spot and the rating. Such as Azenis
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Azenis?content=77150
and if you want a good light theme, look just a few spots down at NuoveXT2.
I honestly just don't get why this theme has such a high rating.

In all honesty, to be really frank, me neither… I occasionally drop by and out of curiosity I check the number of downloads, only to be be surprised because it has been steadily (albeit slowly) been increasing since I posted it.
You're right, I only put together the work of others and made little effort on doing so. But you can trust me that I didn't vote myself good (can I? I haven't tried :P)… what gain would I have? See my other contents: I am not an active member on KDE-Look nor do I intend to be one. I just share what I think others might like.
I am surprised also because I didn't make a .kth file because I was lazy (and still am :P), yet people keep downloading and voting...
I sincerely don't know why nor what, but these numbers must mean something, and I guess I can somehow feel a bit proud for that… at least for now… :)

Thank you, really!

If you imply that effort is the main requirement for a theme to be rated good, then I'm doomed. :)
Seriously though, let's see: wow, that Azenis must have been tough work! It's really great, although I still prefer light-colored widgets. As for your theme, that's a matter of taste, as is the case with every piece of art here and elsewhere.
• Widget style: QtCurve (by CraigD) is really awesome! As for the colors, I myself don't like coloured widgets very much (even though I'm experimenting with this kind of stuff right now); for me, Domino and QtCurve are so great rivals that I'm often uncertain of which one to use :)
• Window decoration: I'm not in love with that, either; it's cool, but for me, less is more
• KBFX theme: Looks very nice, but I don't like/use KBFX (I really prefer Katapult and a custom KDesktop menu many times over)
• Icon theme: NuoveXT 2 icons (by saki) are great, but I like Everaldo's Crystal Project much better
• Wallpaper: I never keep a wallpaper for more than three days… :) Eos (by Vlad Gerasimov of Vladstudio) was chosen for the color, so that it fits with the general icon theme colors, and because it does look great; your wallpaper choices are great, too (I have that yellow green one here in my collection, thanks! ^_^)
But then that's just my taste, and it appears it is a couple of other people's, too. Let them be ;)

Just to clarify, I was not trying to imply that this is not a good looking theme (except for the panel) or mine is better, it is just disheartening that an artist can put over a months worth of effort attempting to perfect a theme and then get booted back by a GPL compilation. Oh well, that's the beauty of GPL, being able to take the best of everything and throw it together.

For example, if I found that I should get icon apps/foo.png from the oldest to the newest set, I'd do something like this:
Quote:cd $newest_set_folder
for i in ??x?? ???x???; do cp $oldest_set_folder/$i/apps/foo.png $newest_set_folder/$i/apps/; done
But, for the life of me I can't remember which were all of the icons I copied over. Just remember that not all sizes have all the icons, making the job a bit more troublesome. There must be some easier way of doing this, though. ;)
Well, we still have the option of asking Everaldo to do the merger himself, I guess. :)

One thing: can you upload your merged icon theme? Crystal Project icons are cool, but both tar.gz files are kinda incomplete.

You can get either one; they should install just fine. I actually downloaded both and merged them, since one has icons the other one hasn't and vice versa.
On the other hand, if you've been having problems with Everaldo's tarballs themselves, I'd suggest you to contact him directly.
Thank you for your interest on the theme! Should you have any more problems, feel free to ask away.
