p.s. I would only recommend removing the reflection effect from dialogs for 2 reasons:
- first, it looks like a bad shadowing effect when in front of a light window
- second, clicking on the reflection doesn't (can't) focus the window below. (clicking on the composite shadow clicks on the window below)

Can I suggest making the other screenshot the main icon. This theme is stunnnig and may be the best, but the one you have up as the main shot... I amost didnt even click on becuase it just looks like one pannel and there is nothing intresting about it that is clear in a little icon.

Hi, for everyone who is insterested in an easy installation of this theme (and also of slim-glow, heron, Aya and Elegance)

you can easly install it from my repository:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cornelius-maihoefer/ubuntu hardy main

and install the plasma-themes-extra package.

then just change the following file ~/.kde4/share/config/plasmarc. Replace the word "default" with the desired theme-name (Silicon, in this case).

Cheers.

Analog Clock

The analog clock renders upside down for me with this theme. I have to rotate the plasmoid 180 degrees to get it to display the correct time. Is anyone else having this problem?

Everything else works great.

systrey bug

"1.0:(...) other systray (I hate the bug that makes the icons look stupid on transparent panels!)"

I'm using openSUSE11 with KDE4RC1 packages. Only on this theme I have black background on systemtray. On other themes systrey is themed as expected. I use compositing on Intel card.

PS. Beside this Silicon rocks! I thing it is really the best one (or it shares #1 place with Elegance theme)

Thank you very much!

I think the system tray should look better with Silicon 1.1 (I hope this gets included in the final release of KDE 4.1).

But it seems there is still a bug (I think in the nvidia Drivers) which prevents the icons from using transparency.

Does anyone know if this is going to be fixed soon?
