Excellent choice in music.

What font is that for the clock?

Excellent choice in music.

Thanks

What font is that for the clock?

How did you manage to display it in such a beautiful way? Here Aller just looks smeared with smaller sizes.

You can get colorscheme on kde-look.

Don't know exactly. It always looked very well for me. I'm using ubuntu versions of freetype, cairo, etc. libs and slight hinting.

Thanks for the useful hints. Slight hinting was the key, and I will definitely try the ubuntu freetype2 later.

UPDATE: I installed libxft-ubuntu and freetype2-ubuntu, and I must say, oh what a difference! Thanks for the hint.

Failed at installing gnome shell, so I made this instead; wingpanel style

Looks very nice! Which icon theme do you use for your "wingpanel" (the white ones)?

Best regards!

Thanks! It's a custom theme, a quick, incomplete mod of ambiance. The systemtray icons are from elementary (except the nepomuk and "i" icons which I made).

Thank you for the information!

@ Scnd101 (OT): Not sure if you're a "window controls on the left" guy, but if not you can install kwinbuttonapplet from aur and stick your window controls up there, too. I myself like to use space-saving decorations without extra clutter--with the panel covering them when maximized--and just use a window menu button in the panel. Your dock can minimize/restore windows, and you can drag them up top to maximize. Just to add a little more functionality to it

The window controls were on the right all along actually. I realised how annoying it was earlier today and moved the panel to the left instead. I like the way you think though

I went from minimal to "nothing" in quite a short time. I quit using startup menus, taskbars, full lengt panels, decoration controls, window decorations in apps that are always fullscreen and started using application grouping in decorations instead of application tabs and so on and so forth... The small panel in lower right corner is on auto-hide so only thing left is the cashew. I still manage to do everything on mouse, keyboard or both - Show windows on right upper corner, Bind all apps and window controls, Show desktop on lower left corner, Middle click desktop to show launcher menu, Use krunner, yakuake etc.

The basic idea is that every app that always should run on fullscreen are locked to it, windows are unmovable - for example: Akregator, Amarok, Konversation, KTorrent...
Then there are apps that should start on fullscreen but can be moved, like Chrome and Rekonq
And apps that start on various different sizes and are movable or unmovable, for instance Kopete (right side, narrow "panel", unmovable), Gwenview (half-window, movable), Dolphin (floating, 1/4 screen window, movable)...
Applications themselves are configured so that menubars are hidden if possible and tool- and taskbars are hidden depending on application (Kopete, hidden. Gwenview, shown), some slight changes to widths and lenghts, many widgets are stacked (like the panels in Amarok and Dolphin).

Yes, it works fine. Sometimes menu looks bad (I guess after last updates) but it works fine (in windowed mode).

Maybe try launch game with this parameters:

LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri  WINEDEBUG=-all wine th08.exe

LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH - if you have 64bit system.

Ok I have another question. I downloaded the elementary icons and tried to unpack them in /.kde4/share/apps/desktoptheme/default/icons , but they don't work for me. I think the problem is, that these icons are *.svgz . When I use icons from other themes which are *.svg, I can use them. So how did you get the elementary icons to work?

And just another question. How did you get the icon for kmail to work? When I name an icon into kmail.svg, it doesn't work. Thank you for your help!

Best regards!

Just extracting the icons won't do, you'll also have to rename them (use the gaia or ambiance for reference) and preferably make sure they are 22x22 px. svgz is just a compressed svg, either will work fine.

I'll save you some time and upload mine instead http://www.mediafire.com/?41ior24q8dr0ab2 (it's not entirely complete though)

And the mail icon is for gmailplasmoid, set manually.

Lothium · 2011-01-15 18:23:17

Ahh ok thank you very much! Now it works

Zom · 2011-01-18 16:28:06

I might as well.

Desktop:

Netbook:

Basically just the plasma panels with conky running in the background. Plasma-theme is ambience, and I'm using a custom Qt-curve. The colourscheme for the desktop is a modified oxygen while the colourscheme for the netbook is just the original oxygen.

Icon theme is Kicons2, just a bit modified.

What is your icon theme? For the icons in the systray?

Anyway here is mine. I'm trying to go in your direction as well.

Scnd101, Zom - guys, what are your panels on the bottom? I mean the icon-only taskbars.

He's using docky as far as I can tell.

I'm using a patched version of smooth tasks, which has added support for launchers. Here.

To install it, you can just modify the PKGBUILD for smooth-tasks in the AUR. Look for these lines;

__hgroot="http://bitbucket.org/panzi"
__hgrepo="smooth-tasks"

and change them to

__hgroot="http://bitbucket.org/jimi312"
__hgrepo="smooth-tasks-kde-sc-4.6"

and then just build as normal.

Panzi will merge and update smooth tasks once KDE 4.6 hits the main fedora repos, IIRC.

cinan · 2011-01-22 00:12:45

thanks, you really helped me

Hi, i tried also to set up a "wingpanel" with the kde panel. But i have one major problem.
I created a new panel, set it to align right. Made a minimum size about the size i will need, and a maxium size for quite the half of the monitor length.
But everytime a new systrayicon will come up, the panel doesn't grow to the left, it just shifts my clock out of the panel. How did you manage this?
