yes I did

I have found some interesting eyecandy patches for KDE, maybe they
can be included into the arch packages... (?)

smooth shadowfade at logout

pertty KDE patchset

The pertty patchset includes:
-translucent selection rectangle (like in gnome)
-rounded icon titles when icons are selected
-an improved konqueror sidebar
-konqueror sidebar will be saved per profile

I have built KDE 3.5.3 with those patches, and its working perfect
The only (small) disadvantage is, that you have to rebuild and patch qt too.

There is also a patch for fontconfig in the pertty patchset to improve the
performance of font rendering, but i have not tested this yet...

Got some general questions to the whole KDE style and theme story here: What to do if found a (nice) style that istn there yet, needs to be added? And whats the current way of retrievein all those things, with the pacman repository kdei uve mentioned on first page or through the AUR ?
thx in advance!

cheers,
detto

are you actually still maintaining this ?
Anyway you never added kdestyle-serenity (which has already a new version in AUR) to the repo. I can imagine, as the last update to the repo is from the 18th of may, that more stuff is updated in the AUR (I did not check on it )

@detto:
The general procedure would be adding the style to the AUR, submit a link to the PKGBUILD here so that dtw can build and upload it (that is, if he is still maintaining).

I am doing still maintaining it - I have just been a bit busy!

I'll check for updates this weekend.

let me add a vote for this, then. these patches are in both Kubuntu and suse, and maybe more, so they're well tested.

I no longer have time to maintain the binary repository for kdei so if someone would like to grab all the PKGBUILDs and host it elsewhere that would be great. The PKGBUILDs are here or I can email you a tarball

Another thing is...I don't use kde anymore! Sincere apologies for letting you guys down, I'm sorry I couldn't keep it up to date :'(

Care to post a quick how-to?

Take a look into the PKGBUILDs or the patch archive provided here, they explain everything
