Calm down.
Don't get me wrong, i'm not ranking your work, or your submittance.
So there's no need to agress, nor to try to insult me.
I was just wondering, what you complained about.
I looked at your prifile, to see further comments (if you've allready stated before, you don't like WP overflow on kde-look) and saw you did a lot of submits (more than seventy). I look at the latest three or four sites, and saw it where all WP of allmost the same style. (to my poor understanding of art)
So i didn't get, what problem you have about this upload.
Btw. at least the bright WP would fail to kde-looks upload size limit.
And if he doesn't know about tar or bzip, it'd be rather nice to tell him, how to use and ask him to do that next time instead of blaming him to annoy you. (not everyone's a unix geek like you, you know?)
One last comment on the way you express yourself:
Insulting someone and then telling "Sorry, but i feel annoyd or attacked!" isn't very good style.
And if you're looking for better insults than just "dumbass", head over to www.scummvm.org and run Monkey Island again :) - Nov 30 2003

So what do you complain about?
Aren't you the guy, who flooded kde-look.org with more than 70 (seventy!!!) wallpapers that do look allmost the same everytime? (you like iTunes, right?) how many did you tar?
btw. kde-look has an upload size limit.

OpenGl theme (SUGGESTION)

Various KDE 1.-4. Styles by djwilly 3 comments

Quartz Extrme in fact relies partially on OpenGL, but be sure, Apple added a lot of stuff.
About gliv: This depends enormously on the graphics board - eg. try scaling with a GForce2: at a certain point, nothing will work anymore.
Or try Transluxent (like XNest, using openGL) If you choose a too high resolution, even the mousecursor won't move (apparently))
OpenGL was originally created as an interface for realtime 3d CAD (head over to sgi for further information) - therfore it's e.g. more accurate than MS Direct3D, version 2.0 will also be much ahead, and probably the Version for Doom3 is too. But if you don't need a true 3d universe, it does a lot of useles stuff, that decreases velocity.
But yes: using the GPU would increase system performace excessivly! (e.g. T&L, Shaders, Pixmapbuffer in GRam...) - Nov 29 2003

The kwin client is not part of baghira. (there will be one in a latter version - with kde 3.2)
If you click on my name, you'll see my profile, from where you can download the client (source), but don't expect too much, it's old, overheaded and not perfect anyway (was my first QT experiment - and just a modification) - Nov 28 2003

- i will release a version with PERFECT menu translucency soon (it's allready done, just to correct dropshadow stuff)

- currently i'm on the bright background of some buttons in groupboxes (massive allready mentioned).

- Shouldn't happen - i'll look after that. (honestly i'm of course in love with the stipples... ;)

- the problem is X11, not QT - we need a backbuffer for pixmaps - and access to it. I hope for Keith Packard!
Anyway - I think in the next version you can have allmost both (at least as fast and good as currently possible - perhaps some code optimizations can be done (variable types, some size prechecks etc. - but only for the last frame).
btw. does anyone now something about menu translucency in kde 3.2? - Nov 28 2003

OpenGl theme (SUGGESTION)

Various KDE 1.-4. Styles by djwilly 3 comments

1. OpenGL is really nice for games and real 3D Objects, but it's overheaded and mostly useless for a 3D Pseudo 2D UI. (IMHO)
More important would be a multilayer oriented sublying render system (keith packard is working on something like this, freedesktop) that handles a 3 dimensional system of 2d layers (no continous z axis.) in pixmap backbuffer, resp. the graphical ram.

2. If you refer to the QGLWidget class:
This is not a class that uses OpenGL to display buttons aso., but to write an openGL area IN a qt Widget/Window - context!
Allthough i can render a pixmap out of a gl object, it just won't help you to build an openGL style. (or to implement translucency)
sorry...
(everyone wants a more eyeCandy solution than X, i eg. thought exactly the same, when i saw "QGLWidget.h" - so don't worry.) - Nov 28 2003

Hi.
Do you have qt development packages (containing the header files) installed?
Also, does your shell now the qt directory. (try $QTDIR - if not, you'll have to tell your system by:
export QTDIR=/ or switching --with-qt-dir=/ at ./configure.

Also, you can try massives rpms - maybe they'll work with mandrake, too. - Nov 27 2003

If you set this check, konqueror (and maybe other tools inheriting KIconView) will get a little speed gain.
Cost: you won't be able to choose a custom background, but it will be stippled.

first:
thanks, that you want to help me by adding code - anyway:
- changing the button style isn't THAT easy the 0.3c - my development version is allready somewhat ahead (but i'll an option: especially for you). ;-)
- "icy buttons" is just another way to color the buttons (as i thought, mosfets version is too flat) - but they're still in development process and will slightly change in the next versions.
- most code you're asking for is in "baghira.cpp" and "utils.cpp" (can't tell you about the exact lines, as they're changed in my version, search for "buttondefault" and "pe_scrollbar") but be aware: slider changing is a bit complex + you'll have to change the sublying images (what means, you'd have to gimp them yourself as they're not included due to limited upload size) and them translate them to QImages with uic.
!!! BE CAREFUL: coding on a currently used style can crash your system (at least kde!)
- last: nope - germany. - Nov 24 2003

Changing the buttons can be done with one line of code (as i made mosfets code much more flexible), but this style imitates apple, i will make this only as an option. ;-)
changing the sliders is much more long winded. (especially as the groove has round ends) so please don't expect this too fast (if ever) :-( - Nov 24 2003

This error seems to be immanent to qt, as it appears on any style. (i can send you some screenshots of plastik, thin keramik and keramik).

Hi.

KDE 3.5 Themes by thomas12777 1258 comments

If i got what you wanted to state, you can install baghira when leaving --enable-final?
If this is the case: it's Ok. --enable-final are some qt version related compiler options to reduce size - not essential. (e.g. i can't compile kaffeine with them for some very useless and nontrue errors - without them it just works fine.
So: just leave them.

btw. which qt version do you run? - Nov 23 2003

KDE 3.5 Themes by thomas12777 1258 comments

Hi.
Be sure, you have installed the X development packages (you will also need dev packages for qt and maybe some other stuff)
If you took X from xfree.org, be sure the headers were copied to a subdirectory of your include path.
If you usually don't compile stuff yourself, you may want to use the rpm massive did (it's for suse, but if you're lucky you can just copy the included binaries to the proper path for your distribution.

btw. i think i'll make a binary tar.bz2 with the release.

good luck! - Nov 21 2003

I used the new combo buttons for lvh - however reactivating the oldstyled ones is nothing more but adding a new option to the code (and remove comments from the code, of course...)

Baghira

KDE 3.5 Themes by thomas12777 1258 comments

if you successfully made "make install", kde should now. however, i fear /usr is not where redHat stores kde stuff (but i do not know where they do)
there should be some styles in
"/usr/lib/kde3/plugins/styles"
if you want to use /usr as prefix - maybe you directory is something like /usr/local/kde3/...
or
/opt/kde3/...
+ you need to be sure, the themerc file is in a valid place (e.g. "/usr/share/apps/kstyle/themes", but maybe your path also differs in that...

good luck! - Nov 19 2003

hmmm... sounds as if you're missing a library. (libart_lgpl2)
Also maybe deactivating the --enable-final switch could help (depends on the compiler)
Finally, mosfet mentioned, his code wouldn't work with redHat, as the distributor would "slay around the kde code".
Actually i just don't know, what redHat puts into their rpms.
Did anyone here manage to compile on a redHat system??? - Nov 18 2003

Of course one can do that (iTunes has no lightmap at all) - it just looks crap (at least not as nice as apples stuff)
hope for the power of keith (take a look at the freedesktop.org post, even rendering in backbuffer would massivly enhace the whole thing (allthough gpu is MUCH better!!!)

Baghira

KDE 3.5 Themes by thomas12777 1258 comments

hehe... sure you wish - a lot of people asked for something similar for mosfet's liquid as well.
thing's just: apple has kinda lightmap on the brushed metal. this means you'd have to create (resize) a brush for every single window (of a very large size) and renew it, everytime the window is resized. (you can read: i allready thought about this)
now apple uses quartz extreme and this way your gpu power (pixel shader). linux (currently still) uses xfree (let's see, what keith can do in this case) - no gpu, no power - no lightmaps...
we'll see if this changes - otherwise i'll probably make kida "low performance baghira" with brushed metal (but my personal roadmap says not before 0.5...) :-(
up till then you may use the iTunes Pixmap style (that canoot be slower, than a resizing style would be...) - Nov 17 2003

Baghira

KDE 3.5 Themes by thomas12777 1258 comments

btw...
allthough this wasn't my intention, i do not think baghira could "beat" plastik or eg. thin keramik.
simple reasons:
1. it lacks a windeco (ok, this can and will be changed)
2. it is not an own style, but just an apple rebuild. therefore there will allways be some guys who does not like this and will keep baghiras rating down.
thing's just: i don't care... ;-)))) - Nov 17 2003

- do you only mean the list headers, or the new rectangular buttons at all? ('ll think to return to old list headers)
- yes of course, it is - however i even think apples menuitem headers are slightly sunken...
- i saw that on the screenshot. however it does not appear on any app i use. what font are you using? (maybe it's up to that...)
-compact??? you mean less options or less space (the upper tabbar is for upcoming stuff different from the style) - Nov 17 2003

That's OK.
1. Mosfets windeco was everything than perfect, when he stopped development.
2. I'm currently not working on the windeco (i will make one, when kde 3.2 is out)
3. to not mess anyone up, i removed the kwin files
4. i did just not manage to remove the directory without confusing ./configure (i will work on that)

therfore: just don't care. currently there's only the style, the colorscheme and the configdialog. - Nov 14 2003

Baghira Center Tab Alignment Patch

KDE 3.0-3.4 Themes by shm 12 comments

I fear you didn't get me right (it's quite late (i've been up for more than 30 hours now and my english starts to slide away... ;-)

Actually centered tabs work fine in all applications (also with qt 3.1.2) - it sometimes just looks a bit strange (i want my tab in konqueror to be left aligned)
So what i mean is:
the ui designer (coder) decides if he wants centered or left aligned tabs (e.g. only use centered tabs, if their amount is fixed and small)
then the design handles the tabs by alignment flag.
left aligned keep the old style.
ccentered aligned however are drawn as nice buttons in a sunken frame.
that's it.

but as qt-designer yet has not allowed to flag tabs to be centered (hope, that changed with 3.2) they're uncommon - what hopefully will change.
got me now? ;-) - Nov 13 2003

Baghira Center Tab Alignment Patch

KDE 3.0-3.4 Themes by shm 12 comments

Just incorporated it to current development version (now you'll have to wait longer for 0.3 release - your fault!) *ggg*
Also, it doesn't cause any errors with qt 3.1.2 here.
I allready mentioned, that qt should currently allow this, but noone flags it while ui design.
However, I'll have to make this flaggable, as it's really nice for two or three tabs on a dialog, but it looks really strange e.g. in konqueror.
I hope that more coders will use centerd aligned tabs in future, so that i can handle them buttoned and leave left or right aligned alone (oldstyled).
Thanks anyway for the first addition patch to my code. I am really proud like a young father! ;-) - Nov 12 2003

KDE 3.5 Themes by thomas12777 1258 comments

OK, fixed that (at least for html - didn't test the other stuff.)
As i thought, (hahaa, i was right!) ;-) it was not about the slider code, baut rather about polishing stuff.
Mosfet's code is quite old and this way doesn't take advance of newer qt stuff. I think i'll have to do a bit rework on that.
So expect much faster html with 0.3 (soon!) - Nov 12 2003

Baghira

KDE 3.5 Themes by thomas12777 1258 comments

Maybe it's about your slow cpu ;-)
However I could need some more infos.
1. You mean, your mouse outperforms the slider, don't you? - If yes, I can do that with almost any style (ok, it's a bit hard on qt windows or cde, but i can do)
2. Your Slider settings: shadowed / suqeezing?
3. What content you mean (html/textediting). This is really important, cause it's probably not due to the slider implementation. (especially as you mentioned the unsmooth scrolling) - My contents scroll smooth : perhaps my cpu's too fast :-) - Nov 11 2003

Happened due to experiments with setting "no backgroud" to avoid flicker - as this doesn't affect the toolbar buttons, it's fixed in the next release - if you don't wanna wait:

Ok, couldn't sleep because of what you said about buttons - now i'm tired! (your fault) ;-)
The light comes from straight north -> left or right shadow is unnatural. However i was in fact not satisfied with the button behaviour (shifting down wasn't very natural...) so now they rather sunk. (Best would be to squeeze them like rubber - we'll see, if i can gimp something like this...) - Nov 09 2003

KDE 3.5 Themes by thomas12777 1258 comments

Figured out, why this abnormal flickering occured! For some reason, mosfet set the backgroundmode of severel widgets to something else than NoBackground. Usually this is not necessary and not a good idea - as it massivly increases flicker rate.
Maybe mosfet had a good reason to do so, maybe it's just related to an older qt release - so if some error should occur: please inform me about that (i didn't test it too much, but so far, everything just works fine).
btw: thanks for the hint! - Nov 09 2003
