Konx

This is the Konx style for KDE3. It is based very heavily on the dotNET theme,
so I want to thank Chris Lee for this style. Because of this right-to-left layouts
should work mostly, however, I couldn't test it myself, and completeley new widgets
may not render correctly in RTL mode.

The name Konx comes from the great Gonx mockups
(http://cotito.free.fr/projects/gonx+index.html).
First I wanted to implement this style pixelwise in KDE but noticed very early
that the drop shadows of the widgets were difficult to implement without real
transparency support. So I removed the drop shadows again, and changed some widgets
to my liking, but Gonx was my inspiration for this style, so thank you for the
mock-ups.

My development system runs on KDE 3.4, but Konx may also work with older
version of KDE3. If it doesn't, report the error to me, and I _may_ be able to
fix it.

Once you've compiled this with the standard:

$ ./configure
$ make
# sudo make install

You can select the style from the KDE Control Center.
It also installs a color scheme 'Konx' which is highly recommended to use with the
Konx widget style.


The following settings can be changed in the [Settings] section of your ~/.qt/kstylerc file:
------
UseAlternativeColors=false, if you don't like it, that the menu items/scrollbar/column headers are drawn in a slighly brighter color
PopupMenuDelay=50. This is the timeout (in milliseconds) to wait until a submenu is opened automatically. Faster settings (=lower numbers) are highly recommended for a fast style, but some people might not like it.
------

Known bugs/todos:
- 'make distcheck' does not work properly. When there are additional files in the top level directory, they get included in the tarball, which they shouldn't (bug inherited from dotNET).

Please report any other bugs/improvements/patches, if possible.
