I made the backgrounds for Liquid Weather after I made the howto. Need to update it but I don't have enough time any more. You find Liquid Weather here:
http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Liquid+Weather+%2B%2B?content=6384

You will find info on how to install the backgrounds there. - Sep 29 2008

I don't know what the problem is, but you could try to decompress the Xaphire-theme.tar.gz to home/your_user_name/.kde/share/apps/deKorator/themes Then go back to kcontrol ad press "Set Theme Paths".

About the KDM-theme, you might need to reboot.

- Sep 28 2008

Yes, it seems to be down at the moment. I'll fix this tomorrow. - Sep 15 2008

Just uploaded a howto. dont forget to read the changelog here. - Sep 13 2008

You are not using the latest kbfx so my theme wont work. The latest version of kbfx is 0.4.9.3.1.

Here is the latest kbfx to download: http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/kbfx/kbfx_0.4.9.3.1-1_alpha.deb - Jul 26 2008

Look what google found ;) :
http://packages.debian.org/en/lenny/kdmtheme - Sep 20 2008

The colour-theme is lost as my host went down (I'm still hoping it will come back on-line), I don't have it any more. There was nothing special with the colour-theme or the qtcurve-theme and it was not made to fit the Azenis theme. I'm quite sure you can fix your own colour and qtcurve-theme.

From Monday and 10 days I will be off-line, but when I come back I will fix the host-problem. - Sep 19 2008

I'll fix this tomorrow. - Sep 15 2008

None of this themes on this site work on Ubuntu as Ubuntu uses Gnome as its window manager, and the themes here is made for KDE window manager.

You will need to either install Kubuntu or install KDE3. If you install KDE on Ubuntu, you will have both Gnome and KDE and you will have a choice to change between them in your login-manager (kdm/gdm).

I don't want to encourage you to Install KDE, but If you want to:
Open a console and write:

Quote:

This will install a dreadful of packages and that is perhaps not what you want. You might want to go to http://www.gnome-look.org instead and find a Gnome theme.

I don't want to be responsible for you messing up your system, so I leave the choices up to you! - Sep 15 2008

From the Description:

Decompress the Azneins Theme and find the readme.pdf inside. It tells you how to install the theme - Sep 14 2008

I don't use Linux Mint, but as long as you use KDE3 I don't see why not it wouldn't work. If there is no "service menu" in the right click-menu you can install the fonts from kcontrol. You can start kcontrol from the Konsole. - Sep 14 2008

Yes, I said so in the changelog. Its no icon-theme. - Sep 10 2008

The Icons is located here:
http://www.zshare.net/download/18367344579a1e56/ - Sep 07 2008

I see the problem now. After clearing the cokies I can no longer download it. I'll try to find another host.... again :/ - Sep 07 2008

I'm using Firefox 3.0.1 myself, and I don't have any problems downloading it. Anyone else having this problem?

You could try to download it with Konqueror. - Sep 07 2008

It seems to down at the moment. If it's not up by tomorrow, I will see if I can find a new host. - Sep 06 2008

I don't think kbfx works on kde4. You need to use kde3. - Aug 29 2008

Right click on the theme and you find a menu for the kclock-settings. Then click on "change style" and select "qs".

Don't think that is in the readme. Perhaps I should add it. - Aug 25 2008

No need to. Its included in my theme. If not, the link for it is in the description. - Aug 25 2008

Maybe you are using a older version of KDE. I use 3.5.9. I think these settings is only available on latest KDE.

I did find another solution that might work. http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Taskbar+v2?content=31611 I tried it and its quit nice. It even has a nice preview that shows when you hover over a "task" and it does make the "task's" transparent when you hover over them.

I don't know if you are using (K)Ubuntu, as there is only a deb to download, but if you using some other distro you might find it in you repository.

If you get it installed, right click on Kicker and click on "add new "program"" (using Swedish here) and you will find it in the list there. To edit it's settings you need to set the "program grip" (still Swedish here :P) visible. To do this, check at the top in the howto.pdf for Azenis theme. Then right click on the little "grip" on the taskbar and you will see the config menu.

Hope it helps - Jul 25 2008

The "hover-colour" is controlled by the colour-settings you find if you right click on the kicker. Then go to where you control the taskbar and tick to use "custom colours". Then change the colour for "background".

There is not much you can do except change to a colour you prefer. The most optimal would be to have this transparent, and the text go bold when you hover over it, but that is not possible (as I know). - Jul 25 2008

I think you are using a older version of kbfx, and I think that themes for newer kbfx don't work. To check what version you have, do this in a console:

kbfxconfigapp -v

The version I made my theme for is " 0.4.9.3.1"

If you have this version, check out my post: "Re: kbfx menu broken". You find it at page 3. If you don't have latest version of kbfx, you can try to install the latest: http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/kbfx/kbfx_0.4.9.3.1-1_alpha.deb

I don't recommend installing it this way. You should ask in the Debian forum http://forums.debian.net/ how to edit your repositories and install it that way instead. The above package might work, but I'm not sure (I don't take any responsibility for it). It might depend on some package you don't have. Setting up you repository to use newer package will take care of this.

Right click on Kicker and click on "Configure panel".
Click on taskbar, then change to "Elegant" in Appearance". You can also change the colour of the text and the background (when you hover on a taskbar button) if you tick the box "Use custom colours". - Jul 13 2008

Have you read the HowTo.pdf. Its in the Azenis_Theme. If you have and don't understand it (not meant to be rude), you need someone to install Azenis Theme for you. - Jul 11 2008

I don't know if I understand you correctly, but If you got problem of the background of the clock/date, I made a little screenshot for you:
http://web.telia.com/~u00175529/dfsgdf.jpg

Just right click on the clock and click on "clock properties" Then on the date colour-pallet. Then tick the box as in the screensshot.

Hope it was this problem you have. - Jun 29 2008

The pdf-file was corrupt. I have uploaded a new one just now, so the problem was at my end. Sorry for that. Download it again and the pdf will work. - Jun 24 2008

There is no "theme-file". Everything must be installed manually.

The window decorator don't use Emerald, you need deKorator for this.

If you cant open the pdf-file you need to install a pdf-reader like Kpdf or acrobat reader. - Jun 24 2008

You need to decompress the file you downloaded and read the readme (in pdf) - Jun 24 2008

Ok, try this:
http://web.telia.com/~u00175529/Azenis_Sysinfo_Karamba_alt.tar.gz

Now I will go to sleep, nn :) - Jun 23 2008

I can make one with the two cpu-temps if you like.

If you want another go at lm-sensors you have a howto here:
http://www.quietearth.us/articles/2006/09/30/Ubuntu-Sensor-temperature-monitoring-with-lmsensors - Jun 23 2008

I think the problem is with the host. If I compress the theme and then try to decompressed it, it works fine. When upload it to the host, then download it and decompress it, I get this error to.

I right click on the file and choose "decompress here". I get the error but the file decompress fine anyway.

Guess I need to find a better host. Suggestions are welcome. - Jun 23 2008

make a reboot and see if it helps. - Jun 23 2008

I do have a solution for you so you at least have the cpu-temps, but that would mean I have to make some changes in the theme. If you can get lm-sensors to work as mine, I will make an alternet theme for you. - Jun 23 2008

If this is all you get, I guess you haven't configured lm-sensors. Have you run sensors-detect?

This is my output when I run lm-sensors:

Have you installed lm-sensors? If you have, what does it show if you write "sensors" (without " ") in console?

For the GPU-temp you need a Nvidia graphic card with temp-sensor on it.

Perhaps I should make a Karamba System-info without the temps and substitute the temps with something else. - Jun 23 2008

I'm still working on the Audacious-skin. It is amazing how much time this takes. If you want to take a peak: http://web.telia.com/~u00175529/hoho.png

Whats left with main-player is balance and progress-bar, then some small tinkering. I would really want some suggestions on it!!

I do not dare to think how much the play-list and the equalizer will take of my time :P - Jun 11 2008

The Icon-theme is SnowIsh. You find it here:
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/SnowIsh?content=42905

Don't forget to read the installation-instructions, I know I did :P - Jun 01 2008

Have you read the howto that comes with Azenis? It explains how to install most of it. I'm not familiar with Fedora but I google some, and found "kdmtheme" here: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/5825937/com/kdmtheme-1.2.2-1.fc7.i386.rpm.html
You use "kdmtheme" to install kdm-themes more easy.

I don't know how you install things in Fedora, but If you use a repository to install things (adept) you should install it from there. Once you got "kdmtheme" installed, you will find it in "kde controlcenter" (kcontrol). All this and how to go from here is explained in my howto (in a pdf-format)

Good luck! :) - May 28 2008

Glad you like it. There is a howto in the theme in pdf-format. Think it explains it all :) - May 22 2008

Probably, when I start to use it (when 4.1 comes) :) I don't know if kbfx works with kde4 or if there are alternatives for it but I will do what I can :) - May 18 2008

Forgot to make a suggestion. Try Kubuntu It's really stable and fast (at least on my comp), don't think you will be sorry :) - May 14 2008

I wonder what version of kbfx you are using?

I use latest (KBFX Silk 0.4.9.3.1). Themes made for 0.4.9.3.1 don't work with older versions (I think). From looking at your screenshot it looks really weird and its most likely not the theme that causing this, but something else ( I really don't know).

Please let me know how you solve this!!

- May 14 2008

Hi!
Maybe you don't use the right themerc. Xbfx can be bugy sometimes and don't pick the right one.

Open Kbfx settings and uninstall the Azeniskbfx-theme. Be sure to delete "personal settings" as well. Then go to /home/YOURUSERNAME/.kde/share/apps/kbfx/themerc and delete anything referring to Azenis. Then go back to kbfx-settings and apply the "2panels"-theme. Then reinstall the Azeniskbfx-theme and click apply. Hope it helps.

If this don't work and you want to make a screenshot. Start "Ksnapshot" (hopefully you have this) and follow this screenshot: http://web.telia.com/~u00175529/17.jpg I think you will understand by just looking at the screenshot :) - May 14 2008

Well, I didn't lie, it is my first kdm-theme :) Though, I don't know if it works ok for everybody . I would really like some input on this, as with the rest of the theme.

I have made other themes, which I of curse is not done with (Azenis took all the time). My Christmas-theme (ChristmasTime) really need to be redone. Imo. it looks like crap, at least the kbfx-theme, but now its not the time to do it :P

I don't think I will do more theme anytime soon. I have one theme that I could release ( http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/VectorCell2?content=78555, but it needs some tinkering with. It will not be as big as Azenis, only kbfx-menu, windeco and wallpaper (I hope :P). - May 13 2008

Thanx! I really appreciate your kind words.

I have uploaded a color scheme and a QtCurve theme (for those who use that (like me :)) - May 10 2008

Hi!
First I must say that I'm very impressed by your work.... its very nice.

About the KBFX-them. The mask seems to be wrong for me. The bottom bar don't show as you have transparency at the bottom of the mask.png. You also use the mask as a border around the whole kbfx menu. That only works if you are using the right colour in the colour settings. This will of curse be solved if I would use your colour-scheme, but even tough I think dark colours are nice, I don't use it in my colour-scheme, as I don't think it is functional (of curse, its a matter of taste). So for me I will get a light border around the kbfx-theme and destroying your beautiful theme. I would suggest you to include the border in the theme images rather than use the mask for it.

Hope I don't step on your toes. You are far better themer than me, as I just use other themes and port them to KDE. I don't even see myself as a themer, just a copier. - Aug 11 2008

I made this for KDE: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Xaphire?content=76705 and I will update it with more things. I wont convert it for Gnome (as I don't use it) so you need to install KDE3 ;) - Jul 26 2008

hehe, are there any cure for that? :P

I'm getting closer to release this. The kbfx-them needs some fixing with first, then I will release it. - May 13 2008
