Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by RikRat 26 comments

KBookmarkNG

Browser by ceebx 11 comments

Hey, thanks for your comments. As some of you may hav noted, there wasn't any new release of KBookmarkNG. For now I dropped the idea of replacing KDE's bookmark system with KBookmarkNG. First I'm going to look at what e.g. Tenor has to offer... I'm also considering doing some improvements to KBookmark again instead of putting too much energy into creating something new. - May 31 2005
KBookmarkNG

Browser by ceebx 11 comments

Sorry, KBookmarkNG depends on KDE 3.3 because it uses the KListViewSearchLine widget which has been introduced with this version. - Oct 01 2004

Hm... sorry, I can't reproduce the problem. "Advanced -> No border" seems to work fine for me with KDE 3.3. - Jul 21 2004

The widget style is Plastik, but I'm not sure about the color sheme. I think it's the old sheme included in Plastik 0.3.9. The font is Bitstream Vera Sans, the ebuild is called "ttf-bitstream-vera".
I don't remember the name of the wallpaper, I found it on this site. - Jun 10 2004

KDE 3.5 Themes by ceebx 20 comments

You should add "--prefix=`kde-config --prefix`" to the ./configure command. Otherwise it can happen that the files get installed into /usr/local/kde/* where the theme selector doesn't look for themes by default. - May 31 2004

Thank you.

Packages are always nice. :) I don't need a deb myself, but if you would like to create one I would love to link/publish it on the site. - May 13 2004

Yes, I'm going to do so for the next version. When I initially wrote the rss plugin, I only knew about librss, but I'm very interested in the DCOP service.
I already had a look at your RSS sidebar and the Kontact plugin yesterday. My knowledge about DCOP is rather limited and a few things were confusing for me, so I decided to drop it for 0.3. But I will give it another try soon. ;) - Apr 04 2004

I don't know why kniftyclient.moc hasn't been created automatically for you, but as a work-around you can create it by hand with "moc kniftyclient.h -o kniftyclient.moc" in the source folder. - Feb 14 2004

[- a GUI for Alloy's ~/.qt/alloystylerc options accessible from the Style kcm's Configure button?

- making more colours configurable than just primaryColor and selectionColor?

- using KWin's global border size setting instead of a windeco-specific one?]
Yes, I plan to do these things. However, don't ask me when. - Feb 08 2004

EventWatcher

System Software by eldadz 32 comments

Thanks for your suggestions, very useful!
So this are my goals for eventwatcher 0.2:
- Make the pop-up usable: less intrusive, include only the title and group items with the same title together (ala "kde-apps updated (4)").
- Make the main window more functional: store a history of events and highlight new, unread events. This would also solve the session management problem.
- Split the core up and create a sidebar plugin as an alternative to the (pop-up)+systray+main window solution, not sure about the user interface yet. - Jan 25 2004

Sounds like a bug in KWin. Actually, I've seen this a few weeks ago too but now it's gone. If the problem still remains reproducable with current CVS, please fill a bug report. - Jan 09 2004

I've heard that XFree ships with an old version of libz. But there is most likely a newer version of libz shipped with your distribution, this may confuse ./configure...

Personally, I often like the "pixelize effect", like the bar in the center of this image, in some your wallpapers.
In this wallpaper, I don't like the colors used for the background gradient... it doesn't look "professional" to me, don't know why. - Dec 18 2003

KDE 3.0-3.4 Themes by ceebx 233 comments

The decoration was updated due to a minor KWin API change two days ago, which means that plastik from current CVS doesn't work together with kwin from kde 3.2 beta 2. You should check out a prior version of plastik ("-D last week" or so). - Dec 17 2003

I like the scenery but the image has too much artefacts on edges, seems like the jpg quality is way too low.

Btw.: what did you change since your last upload? I've seen this wallpaper min. 2 times updated without a changelog. - Dec 07 2003

KDE 3.x Window Decorations by ceebx 78 comments

Very strange.
But I don't think there is a conflict between plastik and kdenetwork, because I and many others are running them together without problems. That's the first time I hear of such a problem with plastik, sorry. - Dec 07 2003

KDE 3.x Window Decorations by ceebx 78 comments

I have no idea what's wrong with your installation. Files "plastik.la" and "plastik.so" anywhere? Make sure they are located in /usr/lib/kde3/plugins/styles/ resp. $KDEDIR/lib/kde3/plugins/styles/ - NOT /usr/local/* . - Dec 05 2003

There is no KNifty (widget) style, it's only a window decoration.
The widget style you can see on the screenshot is Plastik; get it from http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=7559 or from KDE 3.2 kdeartwork. - Dec 04 2003

[Is there some way to have an animated progress bar in Plastick, like in Keramik and OS X?]
Yeah, at least in KDE 3.2. Or in the next release on KDE-Look if there will be any... ;)

Yes, it did. - Oct 19 2003

My only guess is that you forgot to use "--prefix=/usr" while "./configure'ing".

[I have 1 wish for it:

make the height of the titlebar
even a little smaller, 1 or 2 pixels.
The height of the titlebar should equal the height of the menubar, unless titlebar font is bigger.
In that case the titlebar should adapt it's height to the fontsize]
I think this is a bit problematic because the menubar height depends on the menu font and on the style you use, so it isn't possible to acquire it without some dark hacks... :o

[And a problem (bug) I see:
the buttons are not really centered
when you are in fullscreen mode with
"Shrink borders for maximized windows"]
This no bug, it's a feature. ;) Well, it looks a bit strange but it's easier to target the buttons, just throw the mouse to the upper right corner for the close button etc. - Oct 02 2003

If someone volunteers for creating a Gtk-Plastik, I would appreciate it

KDE 3.0-3.4 Themes by ceebx 233 comments

Thanks for your comment.
I see your point and I noticed, too, that it's a bit hard to recognize if the frames are raised or sunken.
But I have no idea of how to combine more common frames with the overall design of the rest. My goal of the style was to give all widgets and so the frames a typical look, like the 1 pixel contour, and not _primarily_ to maintain a correct 3d look/lightening etc. and would like to somehow keep it this way... - Sep 24 2003

Well, I'm running qt 3.2 myself and it works fine. Maybe there's something wrong with your ~/.qt/qt_plugins_3.2rc. However, I don't know how to fix it, maybe you have luck with kcontrol switching from Plastik to another style and back so the file gets updated... - Sep 24 2003
