Clock

inactive user

Suggestion for clock, make those 3-6-9-12 dots about 50-100% bigger and then those dots what you now have, move them to all other hours (1,2,4,5,7,8,10,11).

Or move those dots to other hours and then replace current once with solid white small line (like 2px:6px long 2:6)

But i really like style.

KDE is made for users by users....
What can you give back to others?

I think clock needs a lighter frame around the darker one, like other plasmoids have.

And I think you should make the preview in png format (or higher quality jpeg). I'm not sure, but I think that would result in better quality, because now it's kind of poor (and it (the current lower-quality preview) might convince people that that's how it actually looks, which would be a shame for such a nice theme).

It's weird how quickly a little text becomes a lot of text.

New Screenshots are up with the new heron 0.2 release. It also adds a new clock with a look similar to the other plasmoids.

I think this should fix some issues.

Thank you very much for your feedback.

hey, I just added khotnewstuff support to make all plasma themes here downloadable, but heron's tarball doesn't have a heron folder in it, but only that folder's contents. If you switch that everyone can enjoy your theme easily.

A couple of packa...

A couple of packaging issues (and concerning GHNS):
* you're missing the metadata.desktop file (yes, I know I'm to blame for that one :) )
* the theme.desktop is not needed (again, mu fault)
* you haven't embedded the pixmaps (PNGs) into SVGs so your theme doesn't work - inkscape places absolute paths as links in SVGs, so it searches for /home/magaden/Develop/Plasma/heron/topright.png and other files which don't exist on most computers :) (finally, this one was nat my fault)

You have a nice tutorial for writing plasma themes at http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Development/Tutorials/Plasma/Theme (includes info about embedding pixmaps)

Cheers, and keep up the good work!

I think this theme is a very good candidate for the Plasma Theme Contest. See here for more details if you haven't already seen it: http://dot.kde.org/1206097090/
