Description:

Ultra Series - 220 Color schemes pack (v3.2)


This is the final update for the Ultra series. This pack includes mostly non-generic schemes, fully compatible with Domino but also usable with Glow, Powder and Serenity.


Installation. Extract the content of the tarball to $home/.kde/share/apps/kdisplay/color-schemes.


Usability:

* Fonts. Besides the window decoration, the overall look depends mostly on the font combination you use, thus load some programs and try them out first. Alt+F2 -> colors. Select scheme, press Alt+A to try them.


* Backgrounds. Non-white background schemes. Each scheme displays a 3-column icon. The middle column represents the background color. Some applications, most noticeable Konqueror and OpenOffice, use this color for documents and webpages. If this is not the desired effect, this is how to fix it:

OpenOffice -> Options -> Appearance -> Document background.
Konqueror-> Configure -> CSS -> Use accessibility style-sheet -> Black on white.


* Button colors. These schemes are meant to be used primarily with a dark button/light text combination, Glow inherits this color by default, the same effect can be achieved by customizing Domino. As always, it all depends on what you like.


* Konqueror troubleshooting. Konqueror doesn't always display colors the way it should. An easy way to avoid complications is to use a background image instead of a color. I was careful with the integration between background colors and alternative background colors, (this is noticeable when you use programs with list-view modes: Amarok, Gwenview, Dolphin, Kget, etc.) nevertheless this is a limitation imposed by Konqueror and probably the main reason why some users tend to avoid darker schemes.


* Gamma correction. I use my monitor with a default 6500K/2.0 gamma setting, some non-calibrated monitors might require a slight adjustment in order to display properly the darker schemes.

KControl -> Peripherals -> Monitor & Display -> Color & Gamma.


Screenshots. Instead of cluttering the screen with all types of windows like I did in the past, I selected 2 of my favorites. I chose these ones in particular because for the average user they may look completely unusable at first, nevertheless, they are there for a reason. Which ones suit your style, it's up to you to decide.

Update (2008.07.10): Nitrofurano kindly ported the pack to Gnome and Fluxbox!:

Edit (06.2009): It's been over 8 months since my last visit here, is good to see this pack still on top, thanks everybody for their support, I really appreciate it.




Changelog:

2008.03.28. Final update, 63 schemes were retouched. I updated the screenshots.
2008.01.30. I added to the pack 135 color schemes, rewrote and expanded the description.
2008.01.24. 82 color schemes added, total of 85 plus the original scheme. Created pack, rewrote and expanded description, added new screenshots.
2008.01.09. I added the Dusk and Dawn schemes, updated the Dark Ocean scheme so more decorations can use it, modified the description and changed the screenshots #2 and #3.
2008.01.06. I re uploaded the schemes, updated the description, the screenshots and removed the old changelog, which was becoming unnecessarily messy.

Oh yes. I want a 'super-uber-mega' Linux. And I could easily say *Solaris, *BSD, Haiku or Hurd. I see incredible talent wasted on dead-end projects constantly. To begin with, I don't understand why there are so many distros, especially when differences among most of them are not substantial, they're mostly aesthetical. Too many people working on distros and packages, that manpower could easily contribute to other neglected areas. I want unification as much as possible. People reject that term because they inmediately associate it with Windows or Apple, but generally speaking is not a bad thing. Once you have a stable base you can tweak it and customize it as much as you want. But you do need a base, it makes things a lot easier and definitely lowers the knowledge bar. My skills are limited so basically I can only contribute to existing projects with bits and pieces here and there but nothing substantial unfortunately. Perhaps I'm just being utopic but imagine all the people involved on OSS working on a single OS. I don't think I'll see it happen, too much disorganization and division, but it is indeed a powerful thought. :)

 about so many distros

Well, for me the idea of Linux having so many distros is maybe one of the most wonderful think it has, because each organization or company used to create a distro for their needs, and what in their oppinions could be there - and later by comparison getting the best from ones to anothers. Slax based on Slackware were one example, and so on. They show us the flexibility Linux can have, and i think it's great! Maybe were why Linux grown so much in these times, and why Ubuntu finally appeared from Debian.

I think the main differences about distros now are mostly focused on how the applications are packaged: .deb, .rpm, tarballs, Slax modules, etc. I think it's the only really annoying point for me, since there are lots of applications still about to be packaged, and some very interesting projects may get abandoned in the meanwhile, just because mostly people (like me) can't do a simple configure/make, and are keep on nagging people to package them (like on http://launchpad.net) ... this is really the sad point....

Some distros have a specific purpose like GParted and it's ok, people have different needs but at the end of the day I don't think anyone needs 350 to choose from. I think we overall agree, I'm not against the number per se, but I would appreciate a higher level of integration, some type of common standard between them and the kernel. Instead of starting another distro why not improve something that already exists and people use so everybody can benefit from it. Anyone can make a distro nowadays but some pretty nice tweaks RedHat possess to tune up the kernel are completely nonexistent in other distributions. I had a problem last year and I didn't want to install a server just to be able to record 5 of hours of audio with 1GB of RAM, a somewhat trivial task. All audio systems, phonon, esd, oss, alsa, etc, are redundant if I cannot adjust the shared memory size and everything ends up getting cached. I still haven't found a distro that allows me to do that properly and I asked everywhere, I even tried a kernel patch made by Con Kolivas with no luck. Linus had said publicly that the large number of distros is inevitable and he likes it that way so that's the way is always gonna be. Like I said I'm not against diversification but the Linux desktop really could use a couple of extra hands.

Hi!
I have some questions to look of Your KDE.
Could You tell me how You have done it? Is this really KDE? How do You made this menu that is look like in fluxbox? And that panel on the top of the screen, what is that?
And one more thing, this font on the desktop(how do you make this black+white effect? And what type of font this is?)

Thanks for help.

Yes, is 100% good old KDE 3.5, nice, lightweight and easy to achieve, no Beryl, Compiz, no nothing.

Style/Deco: Domino. From top to bottom, right to left:

Kicker.
Semi-transparent, 24 pixels height, with 14 virtual desktops + thumbnail preview.
Configure panel -> Appearance -> Enable transparency
Configure panel -> Taskbar -> Appearance -> For transparency.

Kmenu.
Open home/USERNAME/.kde/share/config/kickerrc, go to [menus] and add this entry: MenuEntryHeight=-1 if you want to remove the icons. You can load it with a right-click anywhere on the desktop by doing this:
Configure panel -> Taskbar -> Actions -> Show Operations Menu

It also looks thinner because Domino lets you remove unused space (Kcontrol -> Style -> Domino -> Configure -> General -> Indent menu items.).

Desktop.
Configure Kdesktop -> Background -> Advanced Options -> Text color -> #000000 and enable shadow. This way you can achieve the glow/halo effect. It works better with light backgrounds. The font is FreeSans 7.

Konsole.
Semi-transparent. (Konsole -> Settings -> Schema -> Transparent for MC.)

Audacious mp3 player minimized.

I think that covers it all, if you have any question just reply. Thanks a lot for re-posting your message here so everyone can read it, sometimes it takes me a while to catch up with messages.

Though I'd never posted it before, I have enjoyed the use of your color schemes. Quite an effort to have such a bundle, though understandably difficult with mods going in so many directions lately.

It is one thing to keep up with technology (on one level), but when so many separate mods and engines are to be worked with (such as considerations for these color schemes) things can be no less than impossible to follow.

Guess all that's left is to take the chance, now, to 'Thank You' for sharing.

...and then there was freedom. Win32 was no longer bounding my freedom to create...

Thanks. Yes, it is complicated, unfortunately you can't provide an all-in-one improvement ready for everyone. There's no such thing as a guideline/standard thus some styles override certain settings while others don't, an issue still present today (KDE 4). It would be awesome if it were possible to program a conditional plugin somehow, something like:
if ((KDEStyle==domino)&&(KDEDecoration==domino)) {textcolor=white;buttontextcolor=COLORSCHEME_COLOR;}.

I always enjoyed the level of customization KDE has, but I think it would be even better if you could connect everything with a .msstyles type of file (style+deco+schemes+fonts) and from that point on, customize it as much as you want, plus quick and effortlessly create new styles. XP has hundreds of styles at your disposal basically because you don't need to be a programmer to be able to create one. In fact, you need to be a really good programmer and learn a lot of the QT framework to do such a thing properly on KDE. It can take several months, in the meantime an average windows designer can create 3-4 styles per month that look far better. This is the type of improvement I always requested, a possible long time benefit that is also relatively easy to achieve. I don't mean to sound rude but things like plasma mean little to me, especially when proper priorities such as proxy support are still unattended, so I won't expect this anytime soon.

It's more to the point of what I was trying to state... That there are no 'cross the board standards'. With so many different customization routines, and none following the same methods of assigning functions, you would have to be a scripting wizard (as well as an artist) to get things to correctly fall into place. It would be nice if things had not gotten so complicated, however, at the present state, trying to design things now is like you have to anticipate more than one shell functioning at the same time. (Does that make sense?) I agree with your thoughts concerning these matters. I still will not go back to Win32 though. ;) It is frustrating though...

Yes, it makes sense. I have a dual boot due to some problems with wine and other applications but KDE 3.5 overall is a better desktop. However I deleted my 2 KDE4 partitions (Hardy and trunk) and won't try it again for a long time. I'm a short fuse with these sort of things.

there is a Python script to convert - people may want to work on this code to make converters from .gnomecc/.basecolorpalette/.style/etc... to .kcsrc

i did it since it seems to be GPL, and Gnome is really needed of colour schemes...

Sure, no problem at all, the GPL license is a bit ambiguous, I should have chosen CC Attribution/Non-commercial/Share Alike 3.0, is closer to my position but it is too late to change it. Thanks for porting them to Gnome, I really appreciate your work and I'm glad you found them useful! :D

good point, maybe i may start sharing mine ones as cc-nc-sa as well - the problem is i mostly use to pack code (gpl) with art together, and this makes me somehow confusing... you know, cc-nc-sa made from or converted from a gpl script...

Btw, thanks on providing so many good colour schemes, which will help a lot http://gnomecc.sf.net development as well, and maybe making this as default for Gnome! :-) (and maybe some future interoperability between Gnome, KDE and others in this level, like defining compatible norms?)

Very interesting project, I always missed the color configuration while using Gnome. First time I heard of it. A norm would be awesome, at least between KDE3 and Gnome, KDE4 schemes are quite different, I think Gnome will benefit greatly. This is the kind of project I like.

another point: there's no reference about you as author in this kcsrc pack - on the converts, i'm affraid only my name is appearing when people open the scripts in the text editor, what i think it's not fair, since you did all them, and i just converted them - as far as you can, please put there some txt saying you were the author, even if the schemes are gpl/cc-sa ... :-) - and so i'll update the Gnome and Fluxbox versions downloadable pack...

Strange, I don't understand why the tarball looks different to the one I uploaded, I wonder if anything else is different. Anyways, I added a standard license with a link to this page, just link back here, that covers it all. Your credit is very well-deserved, it may look like a simple script but I'm pretty sure it took a while to code it, plus I'm also sure that a lot of Gnome and Fluxbox users will be very grateful. You see, I know I sound like a broken record, but that's the kind of unification I always ask. Is not a bad thing, now everyone can use them it can't get any better than that. :D
