great!
congrats on the release, i'll try the new version and make a proper full svg theme for you then..

if you like i could turn the default one into svg too.. regular chess pieces.

ok, well here are some files.
i quickly made the white pawn as vectors.

maximized on my 1680x1050 monitor:
http://pasila.lib.hel.fi/~basse/tmp/tux1.png
looks nice.. no aliasing or other glitches, this is perfect i think.

http://pasila.lib.hel.fi/~basse/tmp/tux2.png
windowed window, maybe about 1000 pixels wide or so.. the character starts to wobble, and also the base it's standing isn't clear circle anymore..

http://pasila.lib.hel.fi/~basse/tmp/tux3.png
when i dragged the window to very big, so that it didn't fit to my monitor anymore, i started seeing this aliasing just like it would be normal bitmap.
(well, thats ridiculous size to play anyways but, just something i noticed)

and here's the svg.
http://pasila.lib.hel.fi/~basse/tmp/tux.svg


hope it helps.

yes, the tiles are svg. and they do scale nicely, but i tried doing one chess piece in svg and saw lot of jagged edges.
i try again and send you the file to see.

i don't have svg from the penguins theme yet, since they are actually made with blender.. which is a 3d software.
i was thinking of redoing them in svg.
unless, you are planning on making animated "alive" chess piece graphics possible, then i would animate the pieces in blender :)

well, nice to see this game still around.. it's been ages. i'm not much of a chess player, but i did one theme for this .. and now, that i saw updated version coming out, thought I'd convert the theme also.. :)

so, here it is.. if anyone is interested.

http://pasila.lib.hel.fi/~basse/tmp/knights-tux-theme.tar.gz

i was thinking of doing full SVG version out of it to make it scale nicely, but for my surprise, scaling was very bad.. full of aliasing and wobblyness.. so, pixmaps looked nicer. shame..

heh, if you want, I have the blend file for those images, so you can perhaps get couple of more inbetween frames for the animation :)

KDE 3.x Splash Screens by luibh 1 comment

the idea is nice, but the gimpped face doesn't fit in the 3d penguins.. for example the focus point changes.

maybe model the wilbur(wilbert?) too.

Karamba & Superkaramba by Matti 1797 comments

ok, first, I'm sorry to be so negative, but I just have to ask:

I checked the screenshot, and I can't but wonder, WHO on EARTH would use a clock that covers half of your desktop.. ??
is it really necessary.
also, why would you want to see weather forecast on your desktop?

"yes yes, the sun is shining, perhaps you should open the curtains today"

again, sorry.. but too much of this sort of applications, that's main purpose seems to be just that they look huge, round and glowy..

KDM3 Themes by ybouan 18 comments

hey, check the menu on the left, under themes/styles. there's even "GTK". and, under that there's "IceWM".

does this really mean, people are using other than pure KDE apps?

oh dear..

he is using gnome, but he is also using redhat 8.0, and icons and themes look alike in kde and gnome.. so..

those are redhat icons.

Aqua Fusion Icon Theme 0.4

Icon Sub-Sets by AquaFusion 80 comments

merging aqua with linux?
oh lord...

I dont understand why it should merge, and looking at the screenshot, that doesnt look anything like aqua even ..

there's nothing wrong with your theme, but does these themes always have to try to be Aqua.. like it's some sort of standard on creating icons and wallpapers and stuff.. sigh...

Wallpaper Other by basse 9 comments

hmm.. I wanted it to look fuzzy... so that's intentional. but compression artifacts are not. I guess I have too old monitor to see them clearly :) I promise to lower ratio when I do the update.

GTK1 Themes by mgf 12 comments

I myself hate all this aqua-liquid-keramik-osX-style things people nowadays do, BUT, my son (6 years old) loves those big shiny colorful buttons.. and he has them on his KDE, so I will be installing this too, to get the similar look for some of the GTK apps he uses..

so, thanks. :)

yeah, you're right. I put the letters in the background just because in the last minute I noticed the red text on this site saying "upload only KDE related pictures or be deleted!" ...

I don't have the "KDE" text on the original :)

coffee splash

KDE 3.x Splash Screens by basse 6 comments

yes, well my whole desktop here at work and at home, is coffee-coloured.. with those hand-drawn coffeepainting-backgrounds... I just dont really like all those blue-gray-black themes that are out there. they look pretty, but I like something more calm for myself.. :)

I also have a coffee mug as a trash can icon :)

coffee splash

KDE 3.x Splash Screens by basse 6 comments

yes.. but creating themes is complicated in KDE. I don't really understand how they work. so far, I am doing backgrounds, colours, splash and some icons, when everything is ready, perhaps I try to pack them as a theme..

the picture I like, but text.. hmm... well perhaps it's only me, I just don't see why on my desktop it should say "KDE", when I most certainly know already, that it's KDE I'm using.. but.. anyways.. nice work.

GTK1 Themes by miguelicaza 60 comments

hmm.. I don't see why I couldn't make my kde look that way?
it's just a theme.. with too big icons and the whole interface looks like it's designed for people under 2 years old.. ? why everytthing has to be this way now.. sigh..

hand drawn, I like it, there should definetely be more hand drawn stuff here. I'll give you my thumb-ups, and I'm not sure if it needs any special changes..
the only thing I noticed, is that there is some strange garbage on the very bottom of the picture.

so what did you use to draw it? - Jan 10 2002

yes, the font is real, I have had it always, and it's definetely the BEST "old typewriter" font there is (in my opinion).

it's callad "mom's old typewriter", it's kind of hard to find, but I can email it if anyone needs it.. it's free, of course.

Wallpaper Other by basse 12 comments

heh, I haven't been around for couple of days (I had a minor HD crash and had to reinstall my RH.. gave me a good opporturnity to upgrade to 7.2)

so, thanks for all the comments, this is overwhelming..!! I have been doing some icons, kicker-backgrounds and KDE-splash, to fit the "coffee-art" feeling, but they are not yet ready for public display.. perhaps later I upload something :)

I am planning on wrapping my desktop to a "Coffee"-theme, for everyone to download, but I am not sure yet how to do it, have to learn more about the themes in KDE first.

but, again, thanks for support.

I'm you like them, the scanned stuff on the page are "real size", as they come out of my scanner.. so some of them are huge, some not.. so. the problem is also that the do not match size of monitor.. they are square or rectangular, but hardly ever exactly the ratio monitor has. :)
