I thought I'd better explain a bit about the status of the Alloy style as I see it, and where I personally am interested in taking it. So here goes.... ;p
As of 0.4.1, I feel happy that the style can now stand on it's own, as a fairly good likeness of INCORS Alloy Look&Feel. The goal is still to clone the Alloy L&F, and to that end I would like to (within reason) deviate from their design as little as possible. So to those people who request features that don't fit with that goal, please don't be offended if I ignore you.
Several people have questioned whether Alloy could become part of KDE cvs. Personally I'm not interested in undertaking what that involves. In regards to this, if there is anyone who feels they have the skills and motivation to investigate and commit to to such an endeavor, I would be happy for them to take over as maintainer of Alloy.
Otherwise, there are still numerous things in the TODO (and in my head) to be done, and more polishing work on various widgets is always needed. I'll continue to work on them as I get time, however I can make no promises as to when and how often that will be. As always, anyone is welcome to contribute - just email me dbrownees(at)paradise.net.nz.
Once again, thankyou to Simone for creating KAlloy. And also, big thanks to Sandro for creating the KWin deco :)
Regards,
Daniel. - Jul 29 2003

I've no idea how to fix you problem :), however if you email me (dbrownlees at paradise.net.nz) I'd be happy to help you look into it further. - Jul 02 2003

The mouseover on menubar items is a Bug (tm). I was playing with it for 0.4, and it seems like I didn't pay enough attention... :)
A quick fix for this is to change alloystyle.cpp line 1177 from
QColor color(active ? group.highlightedText() : group.buttonText());
to
QColor color(group.buttonText());
The gradient on mouseover is broken too, however that's more complex - I'll be releasing 0.4.1 shortly to fix this and any other minor bugs. - Jul 02 2003

make
make install
should put everything in the correct place if you wish to install to your home dir.
kwin_alloy.so and kwin_alloy.la should end up in lib/kde3/ and alloy.desktop in share/apps/kwin. - Jul 01 2003

tvon, can you confirm this? - Jun 10 2003

Could you also try changing lines 1905 & 1909 (alloy 0.3) from
painter.setPen(toolbar->colorGroup().mid());
to
painter.setPen(parent->colorGroup().mid());
If that doesn't fix it, then it's probably easier to continue via email - dbrownlees at paradise.net.nz if possible. - Jun 10 2003

If that doesn't work, then could you please compile Alloy with debugging enabled (--enable-debug=full) so the backtrace is a bit more useful. If you're up to compiling QT with debugging on too, that would be even better.
Has anyone else seen this? - Jun 07 2003

The Style Overview (in the qt docs) gives a brief tutorial, and the QStyle reference details pretty much everything else (except dealing with KDE oddities, like kde toolbar widgets - other styles are a good place to look for how to deal with them). - Jun 04 2003

The last two releases (0.2 & 0.3) have been primarily to fix the bugs from 0.1 (+ a few little features because I was bored). From now on I (and anyone else who's interested in helping btw) will hopefully be focusing on getting the style closer to the 'real' Alloy.
Credit at the moment must go to Simone Rota (sip, Alloy 0.1) for bringing this style to KDE, David Johnson for his sparkly clean Qinx code, and of course INCORS for creating Alloy :) - Jun 04 2003

Could you please explain further what you mean by colourize the menu bar in another scheme?
About stretching the gradient over several toolbars, AFAIK noone has yet figured out how to do it cleanly. - May 27 2003
