Karbonit

This is a port of the Carbonite GTK and Metacity theme (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=45590) to KDE.

It contains a windec, colorscheme, qtcurve-config and kicker background.

There are now 3 versions available:
Karbonit
Karbonit-Dark
Karbonit-EvenDarker

You need:
-deKorator
-QTcurve

Have fun :)




How to install:

1 - Get deKorator and install it. KDE-Look has plenty packages for it, so just look if there is one for your distribution. If theres no package you have to build dekorator from source.

2 - Get and install the QTcurve style. Also take a look for packaged versions here on KDE-Look.

3 - Extract the Karbonit tarball somewhere. Be sure to keep the deKorator folder after installing, so just copy it somewhere else.

4 - In Kcontrols window decoration settings, switch to deKorator and adjust the paths for the dekorator tiles under the "paths" session. The "themes"-tab does not work correctly, so you have to set the paths manually to the subdirs of the deKorator theme you want. This is pretty self-explaining.

5 - Switch to QTcurve in Kcontrols "style" section, then open QTcurves settings and load the Karbonit profile and apply it.

6 - And at last, import the KDE colorscheme and apply it and you're done.

You can also configure deKorator to show some little nifty effects when hovering the buttons. Just take a look here: http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/1370/dekoratorjy0.jpg
