Can someone help me with some themes?


Ive been trying to theme my KDE like a Mac for some time now, and Ive gotten the bars on top of windows to look like them, but I cant get a theme to work to change my bar at the top of the screen and my kicker at the bottom. Mabye someone can help me with these
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=153
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=8621

Those are the two themes Ive tried, only there is no .ktheme in the package, and I do the ./install.sh command, and it doesnt install. Can someone offer some insight?

Right click your panel at the bottom and select configure panel. You'll see how you can position the panel, so just click on the one that's the bottom center. Now, use the slider to adjust the length of the panel. Usually about 75% should be about right.

You can also position it to the side of a screen and the size of the panel as well; I like it at about 44 pixles myself.

I'm afraid I don't either then. All I know is that your theme should be downloaded in a compressed directory. You then extract it and there should be a .ktheme file in it. Then just go theme manager and tell it to import the .ktheme file. If that doesn't work, then there might be something wrong with the theme, or it might not work with your distro.

Sorry I can't be of any more help than that.

I would think they would be the same regardless of distro. As long as your running the KDE that you download the theme for.
