Yakuake Skins by megabigbug 5 comments

I updated the skin in order to better match with current breeze window decoration. I removed circles arround the pin and menu buttons. I am sorry, I don't have time to create another theme with a different close button. - Feb 19 2019

It doesn't happen on KDE 4.9.97. I don't know if the scrollbar widget has been fixed or it doesn't happen because scrollbars in the plasma theme have changed.

It seems to happen when the title can't fit in the window.
It is a bug in Aurorae's glow effect.

Borders are properly displayed.

"This theme works fine on KDE4.5! after I installed qtcurve 1.5.x, all it's dependencies and applied one of their styles. "

Are you sure it was related to that ?

I think you reloaded kwin and the theme is now properly applied. - Mar 15 2011

Aurorae Themes by Ireyon 3 comments

I added the missing buttons and improved their design in the Air-oxygen-color theme (http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Air-oxygen-color?content=136510).

Air-oxygen-color is experimental, I will merge it in Air-oxygen when it will be ready.

Why is there a space between the start/stop button and the right border ?

You should invert lock and unlock buttons. - Dec 22 2010

Plasma 4 Extensions by aavci 33 comments

Another solution:
Add a "wrench" icon at the right of the "activities" title bar.
This icon makes visible/not visible the "clone", "edit", "remove" buttons. - Dec 20 2010
Veromix - volume control / soundmenu

Plasma 4 Extensions by nik3nt3 269 comments

>Agree (but I'd like to keep the meter)

The meter is not very beautiful.

>Why do you think this is necessary (the current volume is already represented by the slider)?

When I say "current volume" I mean the quantity of sound currently produced by the speaker.

Pavucontrol and MS Windows mixer have this feature. - Dec 20 2010
Veromix - volume control / soundmenu

Plasma 4 Extensions by nik3nt3 269 comments

Thanks, it looks better now.

Here some suggestions to improve visual quality:
- find a way to make the slider not over the text.
- replace the expand icon with something and more explicit: a "triangle" like the notification widget, or a "plus" like the transfer job widget.

here a mockup:
http://img573.imageshack.us/my.php?image=veromix.png

Another idea (I don't know if it is possible):
represent the current volume with a rectangle behind the item.

Activity Manager Plasmoid

Plasma 4 Extensions by aavci 33 comments

I didn't tried your plasmoid but your screenshot looks good.

Can you hide the clone/edit/remove buttons when plasmoids are locked ?

I don't like useless widgets when my desktop is in productivity mode. - Dec 19 2010
Veromix - volume control / soundmenu

Plasma 4 Extensions by nik3nt3 269 comments

What do you think about use this kind of popup ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z31MLWMOuU

One popup for each output stream.
Each popup contains a title (with a volum control) and a list of input streams (with their volume control).
The user could drag n drop an input stream to another popup (ie. output stream). - Oct 12 2010
Veromix - volume control / soundmenu

Plasma 4 Extensions by nik3nt3 269 comments

I hope I understand how it works.

Why not something looking like that ?:

============================
[icon] Internes Audio Analog Stereo[meter]
--------------------------------------------------
[icon] amarok [meter]
[icon] bangarang [meter]
============================
[icon] RTP-Multicast [meter]
--------------------------------------------------
[icon] plugin-container [meter]
============================

I assume the plasmoid is at the bottom of the screen - Oct 12 2010
Veromix - volume control / soundmenu

Plasma 4 Extensions by nik3nt3 269 comments

On your screenshot, if you compare the left and right icons of the "Internes Audio Analog Stereo" item and the "Amarok Audio Stream" item, you see that they are inverted.

Can you explain why you made this choice ?
In my opinion, it is not very aesthetic. - Oct 12 2010

"NO, the description clearly states KDE 4.x"

KDE-look does not give the choice of select 4.3 or 4.4.

I can try to change the .rc file and see if it make a difference.

Anyway, Aurorae was not part of kde sc 4.3 and there was several version of it.

I am studying the bug. - Apr 13 2010

"Maybe you should learn to accept criticism before posting your work publicly for review. If your theme doesn't work, it just doesn't work."

I said it works with kde 4.4. What can I do ? I must install kde 4.3 for solve it ? I admit I don't have the time for that. - Apr 12 2010

"The bug is in your theme not KDE. All other themes work just fine."

All ?

http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Light+Aurorae?content=122916


I am quiet sure there are bugs in Aurorae of kde 4.3.

I am quiet sure Aurorae will be modifyied for kde 4.5 and I will need to modify this theme. I consider that it is not ready while title with halo effect and background with a blur effect are not released in Aurorae.

This theme is opensource, you can play with it if you have the time. I prefer look the futur. - Apr 12 2010

"you only need to be a little more opaque to offset that kwin has no blur"

It will not really be satisfying.

"and the shadow of the active window should be black and a bit bigger"

"I assume that's the decoration.svgz file."

Yes, you must modify the alpha value of the gradient used in the decoration. Gimp is not made for edit svg. Try to learn how use Inkscape.

This decoration is very transparent because I want the background be blurry behind it. Anyway, it doesn't seem supported with current KWin. - Jan 23 2010

For ubuntu it is the package: kwin-style-aurorae
You can compile it from source:

or wait KDE SC 4.4 because it is integrated in it. - Jan 20 2010

Have you got Aurorae installed ?
if it is the case, go to the systemsettings, in the Window page and select Aurorae.
After that, you can download Air-oxygen throught KHNS (the button "Get new themes") - Jan 19 2010
