is your $QTDIR set (just to be sure, else say --with-qt-dir=/myqtdir at configure)

did you have success compiling other qt/kde apps?

This was only (mainly) a bugfix release - i kicked it out to solve the problem about the small menus (and i've even allreay reworked the code)
about destop shadows - i think you're referring to the text. there's allready a patch for 3.1.3 (4?) to do so, but it cannot be done via a style.
Anyway, it's also part of 3.2. - Dec 14 2003

I'm also totally confused about that.
gcc SHOULD do exp and pow internally (gcc 3.2.3 here does, yours too, obviously)
maybe some distributors spread crippled versions of gcc - i just don't have another answer %)

Klacier: You're absolutely free to branch baghira as you like want. I'll also Support you, if you've got questions about the code.
So just start and make a Klacier interface. (as far as i can see - kstyle situation won't improve with 3.2 anyway (meaning about shadows/translucency)

Sliders: Depends on the Sublying Pixmap - it's probably too dark. I'll see what i can do.

Time: This was just a bugfix release, and the error is serious, as it can cause app crashes. I thought it would be a good idea to have a patch for that. (and i needed allmost two days, as i was compiling 3.2b2;)

Hi.
1. You should know: I REALLY HATE CLICKING APPS TOGETHER!
2. However, i'll make a new Dialog for kde 3.2 (but should also run with 3.1.x)
3. About anim progrss:
I yet didn't try out the behaviour with qt 3.2, but on 3.1.x it wasn't possible anyway (by shifting the pixmap into the area over time, different pixmaps would increase ram amount)
Also you'll have to face the fact, that progressbars update themselves only on progress ;) what means: this is the only moment to repaint them. (so yo'll get a quite poor framerate)
So we'll see what time brings... - Dec 11 2003

Allthough i still don't like the idea to remove round parts of the sliders:
that's not very hard to do.
About the bevel ends: if (and i say IF, not when) the sliders are rectangular, there's absolutely no need for rounded bevel ends.
So just move into the code (scrollbar section in baghira.cpp, remove ->drawPixmap(sliderend) (or so, currently i've no access to the code) stuff, extend (longen) the other sliderstuff (->drawTiledPixmap(slider,w,h) by what you removed, remove the slidergroove ends (same way) and (also) extend the scroller groove.
Here you are. ;-)

Some dists seem to spread crippled compilers.
If there's an error message like
"function exp not found" and/or "function pow not found":
add
#include
to "baghira.cpp".

OR: (alternative and better) get gcc from gnu.org, read the doc, then make a useful configure;make;make install! - Dec 11 2003

1.
I allways wanted the scrollers like this (as a feedback about which area is scrollable - so just the config dialog is a bit outdated (i'm very lazy on working on it - if it was up to me, you would edit your qtrc with a texteditor (ok - in fact it's up to me, but i'm not that kind of sadist)
(the "hovered" scrollers are currently highlighted - if i wouldn't be so lazy, i'd add a fourth option - maybe i will do so next release)

2.
I guess, you mean the part of kicker, where the currant apps are displayed as buttons? they follow the listviewheaders (as they ARE in a way listviewheaders (qt internal)).
if you check smooth lvh, you'll get kinda tube (but still rectangular shaped) - did you mean, you'd like to have them round shaped?
===
next reply:

do you mean the comboboxes???
they mainly follow content size and have a minimum heigt of 27 px (i think - will have to view code to be sure)

====
:))
well... uhmmm... apple's sliders are exactly 13 px wide
(configurable size will last a bit - well: a big bit) as i will have to fract them like the buttons to avoid slow resize functions...
(i'll try to find another solution) - Dec 10 2003

you should have a new kconfig entry "baghira" (if not - try kcmshell baghira, but there should be one)
here you can tewak a lot of things (custom colors and other stuff)
+ scrollbars follow button color if and only if (iff) the scroallable area is entered (on some currently unhandled classes even just on mouseover) but you can force colors for inactive and active colors in the dialog (for this isn't 100% up to date, activated scrollers will follow the "hovored" otion - hovered ones are currently just highlighted) - Dec 09 2003

Hi Renderman.
Did you deactivate KDE menushadows, when activating mine?
(if you deactivate kde shadows, there won't be ghost effects in the menus, also menus will massivly speed up.)
btw. i allready enhanced the menu shadows for the next version and will hopefully provide custom sized dropshadows for menus (completely ghost-free)
current dropshadows aren't ahead of kde's anyway - besides the fact, they should not mess up with menu translucency...
and i'll take a look at the menu checks... ;-) - Dec 06 2003

i got the same reply from another redhat user.
after i got problem replies from another distri (debian) i removed the doc stuff out of the package (both versions still compile fine for me)
probably i forgot to correct something in the makefiles.
i'll review that and hopefully make it work with the next release).

Your missing the kde libraries - or probably rather just the development packages. look for some package like "kdelibs-dev.[mypackageformat]" and install it.
You'll need other kde dev packages as well + xfree dev packages (to compile any (kde) application)

As (if) mosfet's original license was even bsd (or gpl) there's absolutely no need for his explicit permission for legal reasons.
On the other hand: Liquid was his style and his project and now i'm slaying around on his code.
If he wouldn't like that, i'd understand that and wouldn't have released it.
However i couldn't contact mosfet anyway, so i released it with an explicit permission pending.
So there's no legal insurance - it's just about politenes and respect. - Dec 03 2003

The gradient look isn't really related to xRender (on non accelerated systems xrender is said to be even slower than mosfets/kde software solution)
Anyway, i coud add a gradient..
BUT:
You may hve noticed, that the translucent menus don't draw any ghostshadows (well, sometimes, if you activate menudropshadows, or of the second generation)
this works, cause i've establishe a pixmap buffer for the menus.
The problem is, that on a gradient, the buffered pixmaps would have the wrong shade.
So you just can't have both.
But if you really want a gradient (on cost of ghostshadows) i can add such a function just drop me a request. - Dec 03 2003

...nope, stupid idea.
As an animation within the style would stuck the eventhandler (it cannot react, as the style is working on the animation).
So to implement that, the object (scrollbar) would have to update itself. This currently only happens, if you move the slider (as the object has to be repainted anyway) and this just looks , as if you would slide over a static background.
So it'S impossible without patching the QSrollbar class.
Sorry for making wrong hopes... :( - Dec 02 2003

Baghira

KDE 3.5 Themes by thomas12777 1258 comments

Ok, just checked plastik, thin keramik etc.
You may have noticed that there aren't any real animations, but the used pixmap is just vertically splitted (light and dark part) resp. there's a gradient (that does not rely on a pixmap, at least it's not horizontally asymmetric).
Allthough it would be possible to create a real animation (by building several pixmaps and displaying them in a row while the progress is updated) this would increase use of pixmaps (you need about 15 fps for a smooth animation, besides the fact the progress doesn't update that fast - 3 seconds of animation before loop would mean 45 pixmaps...)
So, curently not - sorry.
For the (vertically / horizontally) fracted sliders, there's a way to have nice animation.
I'll test that, and if it doesn't slow down the whole stuff to much...
you'll see.... :) - Dec 02 2003

Nice idea about the Progressbars.

Don't worry. I needs alot to make me your "enemy".
(Unfortunately i needs even more before i'd call someone my "friend" - sorry for this)
You're right in the matter, that presenting one and the same object (only differing by size) isn't a good situation.
That's why i sometimes think, kde-look is flooded with WP.
(Especially when people start to update their licenses, to get them back on the first page.)
I'd like to have the ability to make uploads without updating stuff and present it on "latest released", but just telling: "i've even done more - look at my profile to download"
Also an all but WP button could help (don't get me wrong Frank, i'm really more than glad that kde-look exists)
Thing's just: When I entered Gnu/Linux, there were really a lot of very unfriendly and impolite guys who told you:
We're in, you're not - and you're to stupid to be ever! (quite disappointing, ehh?)
So i decided for myself to never be like them, but always tell someone about the abilities of the system, and what things should be done like. (massive released the WP at once, i think - so the argument he did it twice doesn't hold for this case. I'm pretty sure, he will find another solution, next time.

About your artwork: I didn't say i wouldn't like it - to me they just look extremly similar (without meaning this as a rank) - but i also wouldn't call myself an artist. (e.g. i don't understand how someone could pay even a buck for a "picasso" or so.)

So don't worry, just perhaps rethink the way you sometimes argue (don't forget: insults are said to be a sign of weakness :) - Nov 30 2003
