KDE Themes

iZvi · 10-06-2004, 01:46 PM

I have similar problems installing themes for KDE 3.3. You should copy the .themerc file to YourHomeDir/.kde/share/apps/kstyle in order to see the theme from inside KDE. however you may experience some other problems with the themes (decorations and similar).

I have done that, but it isnt showing up, thats the problem.

ok, when doing an slocate for plastik, one of the kde themes already installed, I get this...

Code:

/opt/kde/lib/kde3/kwin_plastik_config.la
/opt/kde/lib/kde3/kwin_plastik_config.so
/opt/kde/lib/kde3/kwin3_plastik.la
/opt/kde/lib/kde3/kwin3_plastik.so
/opt/kde/lib/kde3/kstyle_plastik_config.la
/opt/kde/lib/kde3/kstyle_plastik_config.so
/opt/kde/lib/kde3/plugins/styles/plastik.la
/opt/kde/lib/kde3/plugins/styles/plastik.so
/opt/kde/share/apps/kwin/plastik.desktop
/opt/kde/share/apps/kstyle/themes/plastik.themerc

would the new themes I want to add have to have all of these files to work, perhaps?

ok, just noticed something new, I brought up Konsole and started going through the schema, was wanting to make the background transparent with e a green tint(which doesnt seem to be working, btw), and I ntoiced in the schema you can select from, Green on Black shows up.....

sorry for late reply I've been at the Linux Expo in London. I'll try file roller and let you know the result tomorrow.

I have not been able to extract the *ktheme using ark or file-roller. I suspect that the problem could be with permissions. Try to change the permissions on the ktheme as follows, "chmod 644 *ktheme" .
