I'm using KDE+Plasma 4.
The style for the search box is styled by the theme. Examples in other themes include Colorbit: button text on a light gray background w/gradient, Doomsday (http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Doomsday?content=159938): uses white text on a black background, Aya: uses button text on a (semi-transparent?) medium gray background.
I'm not sure where the background for the search/input box is defined, but I'm guessing it's an svg file since some styles use gradients or custom borders. |

Very nice theme, I like it a lot (I'm a fan of plasma themes which follow the desktop color scheme, which I customize heavily).
I do run into a problem when using white/light text on dark backgrounds with this theme: text entry boxes (like the search box in the Add Widgets panel or Homerun) have a (nearly) white background, and the white-on-white is unreadable.
Is there a way to change that to something more neutral (or preferably use the view background color from the color scheme)? I imagine that if it can't be set up to pull from the color scheme then using a medium grey should be sufficient so that it can be usable with either white/light or black/dark text. |

The font is called Baumans and I pulled it from Google's web fonts project: http://www.google.com/webfonts/specimen/Baumans |

Love it! Love it! Love it!
The backdrop is perfect, love the poses - each couple has their own personality, I want to be there, too; dancing some tango nice and smooth. |

Glad you like it.
I've never really liked the bland greyscale used by most color schemes.
I think this one gets just the right tone for the blue where it isn't bland greyscale, but isn't hurts-your-eyes bright. |

There already is a desktop environment built on the enlightenment libraries; it's called "Enlightenment" and it works really well (despite being in pre-alpha for 10 years and counting - they're getting pretty close to releasing real alphas soon...). Of course you may be refering to a suite of applications built on top of EFL - that is still a little while off, though people can at least get started since they have released stable versions of the base libraries. Even now you can just use the enlightenment desktop with your favorite gnome/xfce/kde/lxde/whatever apps.
As for the whole Gnome-shell vs. KDE vs. XFCE debate, I see a lot of people switching from Gnome 2 to XFCE and LXDE because the environments are very similar and both XFCE and LXDE use GTK as the primary widget set. I personally am a KDE guy - I enjoy the flexibility and customizability and tend to spend quite a bit of time tweaking that last little setting or adjusting that last bit of chrome to make sure that my environment looks and feels just the way I want it. Gnome-shell seems interesting, but I haven't been able to try it yet (I'm using Ubuntu at work, and they haven't gotten it fully working in PCLOS yet); but I expect to have similar experience with Gnome-shell as I did with Gnome 2 when I finally got a linux box at work: I used it for a week at best before installing KDE and "returning home".
I also personally believe the QT toolkit to be far superior to GTK.
Of course I also really enjoy Enlightenment - lots of potential for a fully-customizable environment, snappy feel, usually pretty stable, and the Everything launcher has turned into a staple in my work-flow: applications, files, web searches, IM contacts, windows, etc. all at my finger-tips in a concise dialog that's as easy to navigate with the mouse as it is with the keyboard. |

Ok, thanks for the reply.
I tried out the tiled background, and that works fine, but still suffers from the same won't-remove-the-file bug as the other setting. |

I've been playing around with using different images for the window background (some examples: http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php/DomQT?content=139732 http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php/Textured+Gray?content=140094 http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php/Textured+Tan?content=140090)
A bug that I ran into is that when you select one file for the background (and apply it) then select a different file for the background, it doesn't actually switch the stored image. The workaround is to delete ~/.config/qtcurve/style-bgnd-img.* then go in and pick the new image.
A couple of features which would be nice: scale image to window size (may be infeasible due to cpu usage) and tile image. |
