KDE/KDEmod Theme "Coal"

freakcode · 2008-03-07 22:38:54

I would like to invite Arch KDE/KDEmod users to see (and if you like, use it ) a theme I've made:

Download theme from deviantArt (LINK FIXED)

The "Coal" theme, in fact, are various tweaks to give a nice, dark look to your KDE.
It includes:
- Colour theme
- Domino style configuration
- Crystal KWin configurations and overlay images
- Kicker overlay images
There's a small installer that will help copying the files to the right places and show instructions on how configure it all.
(If you can come up with a better installer - using kcfm - it would be greatly appreciated)
As a bonus, the Superkaramba widget for displaying album art on the desktop is included too.

I've been doing themes for some time (if you download themes from gnome-look.org you probably came across something I made), but this one is my first theme for KDE (while I was testing it, I couldn't stand the default theme *yuck*).

Hope you like it, it's my way for contributing back to Linux, Archlinux, KDE and KDEmod communities.

Have fun!

Looks great!

you are very talented, great work

Beautiful. I'm almost tempted to give kdemod another try.

KDE just feels really unresponsive on this old hardware though, and I always switch back to openbox and gtk apps.

Kde4 is WAY faster than any gnome i promise. Programs start faster too.
And it should get even faster with QT4.4.

Great theme, port to kde4? ^^

Very nice!

Very impressive work! Although I am preferring light weight window managers such as OpenBox - this is truly amazing.

What is that application in the middle of the screen on the first pic btw?

Katapult, I think.

Thanks!

freakcode · 2008-03-08 17:28:22

Yep, it's Katapult, it the default theme, but custom font (Humanst521).

Damnshock · 2008-03-08 18:44:14

Really nice! thanks a lot!

Breakage · 2008-03-08 18:46:38

Good look.

avoulk · 2008-03-11 22:43:19

I don't think your theme is good.

The BEST dark theme I have ever used!

Anyone using this theme together with firefox3?
Having a hard time to to get the fontcolors nice...

xbrunox · 2008-03-12 13:19:29

Beautifull theme!

schivmeister · 2008-03-12 14:30:00

I'll Pay You For This!

edit: spoke too soon. thought twas a new style don't fret, i still use the kicker overlay and the colouers (even though in apps the grey is so light in the input fields that it hurts the eye)! work on the colours a lil more, would be great to find the sweet spot while remaining dark.

Wow, this is such a breath of fresh air!! My friend who uses KDE just tried this out, and he absolutely loves it - quote "this theme rocks!".

Keep up the awesome work! :-)

adekoba · 2008-03-13 23:55:48

i like it! to me, KDE usually looks plasticy and fake, but this theme doesn't.

blu3ness · 2008-03-14 00:26:11
