MKUltra

Window Decoration native KDE 3.x

Submitted: Aug 15 2002
Updated: Aug 17 2002

Description:

MKUltra is a lightweight native KWin style derived from the minimalist and excellent Web style.

MKUltra ought to appeal to those out there who aren't impressed by super complex alpha-blended reflective throbbing multithreaded aqua clones/alternatives.

Note -- MKUltra respects your choice of window titlebar colors, and actually looks good when window shaded!

Another note -- like the Web style, MKUltra doesn't provide much area for grabbing window corners to resize them. This doesn't bother me, since I always use alt-RMB to resize my windows. Try it, you'll like it!

Changelog:

Version 0.2.1 -- Made fixes to allow compilation under newer versions of GCC than mine (2.95.3) -- if it works for you right now don't bother downloading this one, on the other hand if you got errors compiling it and have gcc 2.96 or 3.x try this one out.

Version 0.2 -- I realized the default button color (black) was no good for dark titlebar color configurations. Now, the buttons are colored to match the font color for the titlebar. Nothing big, I did it just now on returning from work. See third screenshot.

Version 0.1 -- Unless I get bug reports, it will probably be the last, as I wrote it last night to scratch an itch and take a break from a large software project.

GonX style?

Are you using your GonX style there? Have you considered porting it to KDE3? I tried compiling version 0.8 under KDE3, but got too many errors (which is to be expected, I suppose). PLEASE consider porting it when you need another one-night break! :)

GONX-tastic

A while back I made an attempt to port GONX to the (radically, insanely different) QT/KDE 3 style api. The thing is, I wrote the original GONX in a few evenings. No big deal. I wrote 95% of MKULtra in one evening (after all I just hacked the Web style). But writing GONX for KDE3 would take a couple weeks minimum for me, and I don't feel like taking all that time off.

The thing is, I didn't have much incentive -- I wrote GONX in the first place because I didn't like any of the available styles. However, the light3 style for KDE3 is, in my opinion, The One True Style.

Also, looking back at GONX, it had some design problems which I'm not happy with. More likely, I'd tweak light3 to better integrate with MKUltra.

for all of you compiling this with gcc 2.96 or gcc 3.x use const reference in g_tweenColor function . It is a good thing to use const reference anyway :
QColor & a => const QColor & a

Absolutely true -- sometimes I get a little fast and loose with assumed inline conversions from a const & to a plain &. Mainly because I come from a C background, and prefer the use of traditional pointers.

I've updated the archive with the bugfix. It ought to compile fine now.

It also includes a fix to make the resize-arrow work better for GTK apps. Thanks go to Thomas Zell for that one!

MDK + GTK

W00T!

It works perfect on MDK now. THANK YOU for fixing it. Also, the GTK arrow thing I noticed right away but you got to it first... :-)

I think I've finally found a Window Deco I actually LIKE. It's been a long road, but I think I'm gonna stick with this one for quite some time. I kinda hope it gets added to KDE as an option, but we'll see.

I have to confess, I would like it to be included in KDE as well, but I don't know who to talk to, or how to submit it.

I guess I'll just post to kwin on lists.kde.org, that's probably the best thing to do. It could probably be included in kdeartwork...

Errors?

Did it give you any errors on make? I presume you ran "su" before "make install" right?

Sadly, I don't really know what could have happened, though there's a possibility the ./configure script picked a bad KDEDIR prefix for installation. You could try running
# ./configure --prefix="..."

where "..." is where you know kde is installed, which is the environment variable $KDEDIR.

Unfortunately, I don't really know how to help you here other than that. Sorry :(

i found it installed to /usr/local/kde - just need to move the files below libs to /usr/libs/kde3 (or similar) and the file under share to /usr/share/apps/kwin/

looks so good!

in the screenshots, what font is in the titlebar of the windows? (everybody's fonts always look better no matter how many i download :)

I'm pretty certain it's just tahoma or verdana. Nothing exotic. The standard text is georgia.

Yes, MS webfonts all the way ;)
