hi,

i've managed to get it to install and i can select metal under the style option in kcontrol, but i still get nothing in the theme manager. activating the style gives me most of the look, but i'm missing the window decs that aren't available under window decs or theme manager.

if anyone could point out where the theme is located in the filesystem, i may be able to add it that way...

Thanks guys

Lucas.

missing

Hello "motyR"

your theme looks very interesting!!!
I downloaded the sources and the rpm's.

When giving
"./configure --prefix=`kde-config--prefix`"

my bash complains with kde-config no prefix can be found...
nevertheless the installion runs!
after that i give make and make install

so the sources are installed correctly (i hope)

But now i click on the suse rpm's, yast is initialized and in the window the message "missing" is displayed.
I click on install package with yast and something happens (i hear it on the harddisk) but then, when searching the package in the software bundle, the metal theme is found, but there still stands "missing" and not more.

Do you have an idea what i've done wrong?

Hello MotyR

great!!! It works. Yes i use the suse 9.2 distribution.
The problem was the prefix!
I forget to set it to /opt/kde3
thanks a lot to you....

now i really have a great looking destop environment.
The only thing i would like to know.....how did you set the colors of the baghira so that they look like the colors of your metal theme ? I cannot find the right option!

But thanks a lot! I'm really happy now :o)

Hiya,

Successfully installed your theme (it looks very good!), but menus aren't themed. What am I missing? i've been thru the KDE control panel and can't seem to find any option to force the menus to use your theme.

Also - what icons are you using?

Fixed it. Had menu transparency enabled, and that was overriding your theme. Turned it off and it worked a charm!

Now to see if that fixes the start menu as well ;-)

OK, fixed menu as well, simple enough fix, although i'm not sure why it did what it did. Deselected both baghira and metal and re-enabled baghira first (kmenu was fine), then re-enabled metal and it remembered it correctly. Odd.

Also - bug when setting style back to default, and then trying to re-enable metal. kcontrol crashes, similar to the bug above. Fix? Re-enable baghira as the style first, then re-enable metal. Worked for me.

I'm using your theme for some weeks now, it's lovely :-)
But here are some suggestions for your next updates:
1. My tooltips are entirely black-in-black. I dont need them most of the time, but it looks ugly ;-)
2. I think the buttons' borders are too think. E.g., when using your theme with any IRC-Client (which displays open channels, queries, ... as buttons), it doesnt look too nice. Perhaps make them flatter, just try it.

Thanks alot for the great work! :-)

Toutes choses sont dites déjà, mais comme personne n'écoute, il faut toujours recommencer.
