Description:

flatKnifty is a window decoration for KDE based on Knifty, aiming for a minimalist and tasteful aesthetic. I've taken the last available version, 0.4.2, and updated it in various ways to form 0.5.

Thanks to:
Sandro Giessl (Knifty author)
fubarbundy (flatKnifty author)

Changelog:

0.5.0.0.0.0.0.1
- moved the .kcsrc files to a 'colors' subdirectory

0.5.0
- Allow configuration of when to draw the buttons high contrast: never, when hovered, when not hovered, or always
- Same thing for when to draw borders around the buttons
- Set them both to 'when hovered' by default (which I happen to like -- though 'Never' for the borders is also a possibility)
- Turned the shadows off by default (likewise)
- Use designated titlebar color by default (fixes white text on white background issues)
- some code cleanups
- updated admin to 3.5 branch (it should actually compile now)

however the title bar is too big for my taste. Any change that you could make this configurable?

Top toolbar?

Sorry, this is a bit unrelated but how did you get the mac-style toolbar with a clock and tray on it? I could only ever get the toolbar but it couldn't have any applets on it. I haven't used KDE in a while, is this new or some sort of hack?

No, that's quite easy to do with kicker -- don't know since when, 3.4 at the latest. Just set it up to use the MacOS style menubar, and then right click to add stuff to it like any other panel. (Might need to restart kicker/KDE first, but don't think so.)

Do you have the necessary -dev packages installed? Specifically, it looks like you're missing the KWin headers...

Thanks. I'm so stupid. I had to install the kdebase3-devel package, then it worked. Thought I had everything I needed, as other packages compiled without these headers...

I have been reading through the comments and just about when I was abot to attempt to compile this, I saw your remark.

I suppose I'm losing my eyesight. I'm not seeing any reference to "necessary dev files" (or just flat-out dependencies) in the "usual places" (see the following two examples).

README
""flatKnifty" is a neat native KWin window decoration for KDE 3.x
based on the nice KWin theming HOWTO by David Johnson. Also
I've "stolen" some code from the excellent "MKUltra"/"Web"
KWin decos and the KDE CVS KDesktop ShadowEngine class by
Laur Ivan. ;-) Thankyou all!

You can find info about installing in the INSTALL file; the
license is the GNU GPL (see COPYING for details).

If you have any suggestions/wishes please contact me.
Sandro Giessl

have fun. :-)"

Well that didn't' say much. Moving right along...

INSTALL

"Basic Installation (from the console):
- Step 1
$ ./configure --prefix=PREFIX
- Step 2
$ make
- Step 3 (as root)
# make install

where PREFIX is the path to your kde
installation eg: /usr, /opt/kde

If configure fails, check that you have both
the QT and KDE development headers installed.

Debian note: You may need to append
--with-qt-includes=/usr/include/qt3
to the configure line."

-------------------------------
OK, did I miss something? No mention of dependencies whatsoever. Do you just assume that anyone with KDE is good-to-go? Obviously in the case of the previous user, that isn't the case.

As far as "Step 1" is concerned. The path to kde?

"$ whereis kde
kde: /usr/include/kde
~$
"
Is that it?

I've also got /etc/kde2 and etc/kde3. And for good measure there's also /usr/lib/kde3......

Do I just pick one and hope for the best?

Oh and then there's your "Debian Note" at the end. I don't run Debian, but I do run Kubuntu, which is based on Debian. Do I need to follow those instructions as well?

----------------------

Why-oh-why are themes on this site so lacking in decent installation instructions!?!?!
