Thank you for the kind words! I am currently working to implement easier color change ability, so as to make it easier to release in multiple colors. It will also allow for a user to apply their own custom color by modifying the "colors" file included with the theme.

And of course you have my permission to include the Tragedy style with your karamba monitor! =)

Many thanks. I always like to clarify such things, ahead of my own works.

Looking forward to seeing your progress... (knowing it'll be great anyway)

I vote for a variation with "ghostly green" highlights instead of blue!

Awesome theme!

Thanks! I agree a ghostly green would look very cool.

If there is enough interest (and I have enough time), I am considering creating a few color variants of this theme. =)

I think multiple colors is a great idea. Is there a way to have one of the supported color options always reflect whatever your "selected background" color is?

Well, there is a way to inherit the color of the "window background" for widgets, similar to "Aya". This means if you wanted the widgets to have green hints, your KDE window background would be green as well, which is not ideal.

What I am working on now, is to have the elements inherit color, but it will inherit the "window background" color from the color file included with the theme, so as not to affect the user's main color scheme. This will make it much easier for me to create variants, as well as for users to create their own custom color by editing a line of text. Due to some limitations of this feature, the analog clock colors will be slightly modified, but it still looks good. =)

I'm glad you like it! The font used on my system is standard "Sans Serif".

great and original plasma theme :)

there some bugs to be ironed:

- double clicking some plasma extenders and notification to minimize/shrink them corrupts plasma widget:

Thank you & thanks for pointing this out!

After looking at the default extender & dragger artwork used, I cannot tell which element is responsible for this behavior. I suspect it could be an issue with the way plasma is handling draggers but I am unsure at this time.

I have noticed that this only happens when the widgets are unlocked and extenders are minimized in the manner you described. If extenders are minimized by clicking the icon to the left, no corruption occurs.

If I can find a solution, I will be sure to include it in a future update. Thanks!

I especially like the look of battery plasmoid although can't match it with Ghost in the Shell too much :) Keep up the good work.

Thanks! Actually the battery graphic was originally created for "Tragedy" and I reused it out of laziness =) I might possibly create an new one for "Ghost" in the future.
