SOME REQUEST - a lot of you guy's were asking for binaries for their distros,
so please if you could build one and mail it to me i would post them ASAP, 10X:)
Hi there,
this is the deKorator kwin deco,
deKorator is based on the HOWTO: KWin Window Manager Decorations posted in here: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=6332
and done by Brandybuck, 10x david:)
the man that responsible for all the art design is jon clarke AKA ArbitraryReason, and if you don't know him by now all you should do is just look at the highest rated scores of this site:)
the nice thing about deKorator it's that it loads is images from
some user defined directory(something quiet similar to what iceWM is doing ),
thats means that everything is themeable with no time and no programming knowledge is needed.
one thing to note is that if you would like to see the changes instantly when designing the tiles, you need to run "kwin --replace&".
few notes:
when installing the new version, log out and login back, or run "kwin --replace&" to load the new version.
if for some reason some options dont seem to work, remove your old kwindeKoratorrc file and let deKorator produce a new one.
i will update my site with some more documentation, samples, template-themes, and other usefull stuff for the theme makers,
so don't forget to check it out, it will be located in the "goodies" directory.
how to install new theme - there r 3 ways to install new theme I'll name them out,
1 - downlad theme tarball and extract it to $HOME/.kde/share/apps/deKorator/themes
2 - download theme tarball, go to deKorator "themes" tab push the "install new theme" push button, you'll be presented with a dialog box, enter your theme URL or just use the little push button to locate your theme on your file system.
3 - go to kde-look and search for some 0.2 deKorator theme, in the theme post right click on the download link and "copy link address", then just go to deKorator "themes" tab push the "install new theme" button and paste the link onto the address bar, deKorator will download and install it for you.
most importent after any installation type, if you'd like to use the theme you need to press on the "set theme path's" push button.
And PLEASE if you got any comment good or bad, suggestion, feature request, other tiling format idea, please feel free to shout it...
10x to eyal the project is hosted now at www.cheetux.org.il, you could also find there some theme's i've ported from 0.1 to 0.2.

*new hue colorizing method, proposed by Azzali Matteo AKA mattepiu.

*support for title bar wheel mouse action as introduced in kde 3.5.1, patch supplied by Morten Johansson.
*global themes support, this feature allows rpms and debs builders to build themes packages as proposed by loki, deKorator will look for the global themes at $KDEDIR/share/apps/deKorator/themes.

If the current version is 0.4.0.2 why the directory in the source tarball is still 0.3 ? that makes packaging it correctly problematic because of ugly tricks to workaround that.
Could you for next release change the version in the source directory accordingly to the version that is being released ?
Thanks

When I try to install a theme for dekorator with the URL, it gives me this error:
The file is not a valid deKorator theme archive.
That happens with These theme:
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Plastic+for+deKorator+0.2?content=31587
When I Extract it to home/.kde/apps/share/dekorator nothing happens at the dekorator list of themes.
The same happens if I Browse the file to install it. I also tryed a few other themes and I get no good results...
Any Idea?
Sorry for my BAD English

mkdir -p ~/.kde/share/apps/deKorator/themes
After that, installing themes via the GUI worked correctly.
