Description:

MetaTheme is a project dedicated to unification of appearance between different graphics toolkits (currently GTK2, QT and Java).

The program is designed as a thin layer between toolkits and theme engines, creating unified API by which each theme engine can draw. The result is that every application uses the same code for drawing, making the appearance same across different applications. MetaTheme also adjusts behaviour a bit, so the overall effect of unification is impressive.

Please see the new homepage at http://www.metatheme.org/ for more details about this project.

some problems

Hi,

your program is awesome - but since I installed it, the Acrobat Reader (7) won´t start. It prints the line "segmentation fault" and that's all.

The second problem is that the KControl Center is very slow by displaying informations. It takes 4 or 5 seconds until the informations are displayed completely. When I deactivate the program, everything is normal (Acrobat Reader starts without any error).

You do a greate work!

I found out that MSSTYLE Loader is the reason for displaying informations in the KCC so slowly. But the Acrobat Reader won't start anyway.

Simple and great solution:

Ditch Acrobat reader. It stinks. Use KPDF instead. :-)

I agree. The msstyles importing alone makes it better than anything else on kde-look.org, IMHO. There are a lot of good .msstyles themes that may never make it into qt/gtk. In fact, I'm really dissapointed at the lack of qt/gtk themes. If I had the programming skill I would jump into this project imidiately. But, alas, I have little. In particular, there are dozens of OS X look alike msstyles that knock the socks off baghira. Plus, the luna theme in kde is just hilarious.

P.S. I was not able to get it to compile. Something about:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.5/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /home/antineo/themes/styles/metatheme-0.0.6/metatheme/libmetatheme.a(metatheme.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/home/antineo/themes/styles/metatheme-0.0.6/metatheme/libmetatheme.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

I am using openSUSE 11.0 on x64_64 and was able to compile this piece of software by using the following configure command:

"CPPFLAGS=-fPIC ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt3/lib64 --with-qt-includes=/usr/lib/qt3/include --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt3/lib64"

The important thing is, that you export the -fPIC compiler-switch which I've done in this command by typing "CPPFLAGS=-fPIC" in front of the configure command.

Why this error occours and how to work arround it has been explained in great detail here: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=3

Hope this works for you,
Takuto

Thank you so much. That worked like a charm! It's kind of a shame that there hasn't been a new release since I posted that, because it works surprisingly well. The msstyle support is pretty slow and CPU intensive though.

That's true... and its not just that - it is also highly unstable. Many of my applications chashed frequently when using MSSTYLES-Themes. Too bad that there is no more progress in developing this.. I think, that this project could be very promissing =)
