Karbonit
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This is a port of the Carbonite GTK and Metacity theme (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=45590) to KDE.
It contains a windec, colorscheme, qtcurve-config and kicker background.
There are now 3 versions available:
Karbonit
Karbonit-Dark
Karbonit-EvenDarker
You need:
-deKorator
-QTcurve
Have fun :)
How to install:
1 - Get deKorator and install it. KDE-Look has plenty packages for it, so just look if there is one for your distribution. If theres no package you have to build dekorator from source.
2 - Get and install the QTcurve style. Also take a look for packaged versions here on KDE-Look.
3 - Extract the Karbonit tarball somewhere. Be sure to keep the deKorator folder after installing, so just copy it somewhere else.
4 - In Kcontrols window decoration settings, switch to deKorator and adjust the paths for the dekorator tiles under the "paths" session. The "themes"-tab does not work correctly, so you have to set the paths manually to the subdirs of the deKorator theme you want. This is pretty self-explaining.
5 - Switch to QTcurve in Kcontrols "style" section, then open QTcurves settings and load the Karbonit profile and apply it.
6 - And at last, import the KDE colorscheme and apply it and you're done.
You can also configure deKorator to show some little nifty effects when hovering the buttons. Just take a look here: http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/1370/dekoratorjy0.jpg
The Wallpaper used in the screenshots is called Fresh Flower and it is available here:

Changelog:
0.1 - initial release
0.2 - added EvenDarker schemes and deco
0.3 - some minor improvements on the windec buttons and colorschemes (check out EvenDarker, it rocks :)

The font used for the clock is called HandelGotDBol. Its part of the handelgot fontset, but sadly its a commercial font and i dont know where to get it... There was once a download at deviantart providing this font with a theme for windows, but i do not remember the name...
The wallpaper is part of the gnome desktop, and you can download it here:
http://art.gnome.org/backgrounds/nature/1235
I dont know what problems you have with QTcurve. If you use a precompiled package for your distro, i would recommend building the latest QTcurve from source and see if thats better...

Sorry, I installed qtcurve via apt - and it just installed the gnome version only (I trusted the apt automatism too much ;).
