Themed Styles for KDE from kde-look and other places.

Acqua 3.2
Acqua-Graphite 3.2
kde3 xp style

This one could be use as the basis for a package template,
it is the most complete theme I have encountered
kde win9x full

Oliva
Energia
FusionX-Aqua
Eazel-Blue
Luna

To make a regular (above) themed style importable by Detente all you have to do is put the themerc in the same directory as the pixmaps. This directory should be named with the same name as the theme eg:"Clean" dir has pixmaps and clean.themerc

Detente Themed Styles for KDE

Aqua-Detente, This is the test theme for Detente
This one is special, the tab border has 2 pixels, inner and outer, the inner pixels are a gradient while the outer pixels are a pixmap, the rounded corners come from the pixmap transparent mask, this is not hardcoded, it is because Bevel up is a copy of PushButton up, PBu has gradient fill and pixmap border ;-)
The GroupBox border is all pixmap, copy of Bevel down ;-)
The SpinBox is copy of Bevel up and in this case Bevel up is a copy of PushButton up ;-)
The ProgressBar groove uses its own pixmap and the border from Bevel up ;-)
Tab, Slider and Deco pixmaps have alpha channels for filtering ;-)

There, thats not too complex is it ?
Yeah, documenting this monster will be interesting, the possibilities are quite endless...
Aqua-Detente
Based on Acqua-Graphite by aronnax

CleanStyle, This is the first SVG based theme for Detente (just pixmaps but ImportSVG comming soon)
CleanStyle
Based on Basic Widget style and SVG Template by arenyart

kde_xp for Detente version of kde_xp style
kde_xp
Based on kde win9x full


All three Detente ThemedStyles-0.3tar.bz2

Extract the archive
Import each style with Detente or...

NOTE: do this as user NOT root
> cd ThemedStyles
> ./configure
> make install
> kinstalltheme

Running kinstalltheme updates the user installed themed style cache needed by kcontrol style module.
This is done automagicaly by Detente/Import.



Well if you made it this far here's something interesting... GTK4KDE a Detente plugin
It will allow KDE apps and desktop to use GTK themes ( I hope ) #B^]



kthemerceditor-0.0a.tar.bz2

Compiled kconfigeditor from KDE Extra Gear and found that it simply didn't work ?
So I hacked the code to do what I wanted in the first place, kthemerceditor.
Not perfect, still alpha-ish but it does something useful I think...
