1) BTW I'm on KDE 4.7 final (kubuntu 11.10 dev).
2) Another thing. After setting kwin theme to bespin I can no longer open that configuration module (Workspace Appearance). It crashes without giving any error. Maybe if I tried to trigger it from console it would throw some info. But how can I do it?
3) How can I change the widget theme manually without involving system settings? Any config file to edit? - Aug 01 2011

Configured and compiled successfully with with the same options as usual (installation dir: /usr). Now bespin is not available in the 'Widget style' drop-down menu. I can still choose bespin kwin decoration though. Didn't have such issue prior to rev. 1388 (AFAIR I was on 1384 previously).

another request sent, this time about icons missing in KDE system settings (within the main window and various modules)
BTW on sf.net I go by 'tobaj33'.. - Jul 30 2011

Thanks. Just posted an initial request for apps icons.
- Jul 30 2011
Any plans for extending the icon theme? There's quite a few actions missing in common KDE apps. Never mind various applications, you can never keep up with them. But at least the KDE apps (e.g. muon, rekonq, kpatience)

I'm gonna give it a try. Is there source repo?

scratch point 2) I've found your website..
- Jul 20 2011
1) your game was good. And even though it didn't go as planned I was still pleasantly surprised in the end, so it worked out.
2) what's the best place to post feedback for bespin? Kde-look or somewhere else?
3) why don't you submit new screens for bespin? The old ones give people rather wrong idea about the current style appearance.
4) do you know how to bespin Firefox and gtk(2) apps without using orta? [never mind libreoffice - that's a real bitch to customize and I've given up] If you don't then nobody does. I like Orta but any of its variations won't suit my current bespin preset and kde color scheme.. - Jul 20 2011

Now I've realized something too: I'm a retard :| Well at least not an utterly retarded retard as I'm still able to realize something..
I had option 'Show only artwork with score above' set to 80% and some of your works were filtered out thus I was looking at the wrong artwork. And hence my comment must seemed a totally retarded jabberwocky to you. So scratch that crap about shadows etc (I was referring to PanelShadows which with that filter set to 80% is shown as the fifth (and last) of your artworks)..
So it's YOU who's svn repo is attacked by me at least dozen times per day (while prying to see updates)!
Clearly I understand all your hints now ;)
Sorry about all the fuzz.. - Jul 19 2011

Forgot to say thank you for the link to verticalw wall!
- Jul 19 2011
'click on my name...'
and why didn't you make it easier and just sent me the link? Are you lazy or what? ;)
Anyway quite frankly I'm not sure about this one. Speaking just about the 'bespin aspect' in that screenshot:
- the preset is OK, but nothing too special (like the scrollbar but IMO it could be a bit thinner)
- I think you should be punished for mixing it with oxygen icons! At least bespin tried to hide behind the blur but it failed in 30% ;)
About the shadow effect:
- got nothing to say as it ain't no shadow there (it's rather some sort of shadow of a shadow of a shadow..); and I'm not a big fan of shadows anyway.
About the wallpaper: yeah, most def I like this one as well. A link would be greatly appreciated. - Jul 19 2011

Actually, by looking at what's in kde git repo, the naming convention change was made upstream and kubuntu people naturally followed it..
- Jul 19 2011
Something new, something different and it works and looks good :) Only I'd prefer if it didn't fade when minimizing the application you launched it from.
One suggestion about compiling:
For the newest KDE builds (4.7 rc) in Kubuntu 11.10 dev, the maintainers changed naming convention for many apps including the base stuff. I.e. kdebase-workspace-* have been replaced with kde-workspace-*. So I needed to install kde-workspace-dev as a missing dependency, not kdebase-workspace-dev. However the old (4.6.3) kdebase-workspace-* stuff still remain in kubuntu repo and having KDE 4.7 they will fail to install.
Please consider updating related message in CMakeLists.txt so others won't waste time on finding the proper dependencies (it's only a temporary issue though, until kubuntu folks get rid of that old KDE stuff from the repo). - Jul 19 2011

Hey, no worries mate. IMO anyone who uses OS software and wants it being improved should contribute to it at least by testing and submitting bug reports. It's a duty, not a favor. And anyone who doesn't agree with my statement should be shot in the head! LOL :)
Getting back to our subject, I think that installing crystal or any other icon set in order to install yours is not required.
In every LO installation there must be at least one set already in place. In mine there were four: images_crystal (yes, it was already there), ..-oxygen, ..-hicontrast (brrr.. that's probably the ugliest thing I've ever seen) and images-tango.
You just need to find out which set is your LO currently using. It may depend on what distro are you on, where did you get LO from (I bet many folks use distro-independent versions), etc.
Probably your choice of desktop environment matters as well. In GNOME I guess LO would choose tango as default. I'm on KDE and probably that's why it chose oxygen, which btw was a bad shot. I love KDE but I really detest the default branding including icons, plasma theme etc. My desktop look pretty much like this one: http://linuxfever.deviantart.com/art/Reflektions-KDE4-v1-0-134739465 - so you cam see why I like your icons so much, they fit to my setup very well..
Another step is to find out where is your LO installed or more precisely - where are the icon sets placed. So we know they may be in '/opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4/share/config' or '/usr/share/libreoffice/basis-link/share/config/' or.. hopefully nowhere else.
Once you've got that all you know which set is to be replaced and where.
BTW this all convince me even more how badly is LO designed in some areas. Unless I'm not aware of something, why there's no option to switch between installed sets in LO settings? So you could put in place as many themes as you like and then have a simple interface to choose between? Sure you can dig it out in some config file but I don't fancy do it. Simply it's not the right way for such type of application. If you wanna show off with your skills in Vi - you got plenty of system, server configs, etc. But for setting icons in office application? That's just wrong. - Jul 10 2011

Hey, thanks for your reply. I've managed to set this up in much easier way.
However before you try to change anything you really have to:
1) make sure where to place the theme (it's not necessarily the location you provided).
2) make sure what theme is your LO currently using (it's not necessarily crystal)
RE 1) You mentioned '/usr/share/libreoffice/basis-link/share/config/' - that could be in your case.
In my case it's '/opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4/share/config'.
Different LO version, installed from non-distro specific packages but provided by LO guys = different installation directory + I bet lots of other different things (and btw this is what I hate about LO - in original branding they don't care about LSB specification at all)
RE 2) in my case LO was usign oxygen icons by default, not crystal.
So, what I did was:
1) cd /opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4/share/config
2) sudo mv images_oxygen.zip images_oxygen-bkp.zip
3) sudo mv /<some dir>/../libreoffice_faenzaMOD.zip ./images_oxygen.zip
finally: I run LO, new icons work like a charm.
Thanks again for sharing your excellent work but please correct your instructions to reflect the different cases. This is really important. BTW I faved this on DA :) - Jul 09 2011

And I can't wait to be able to test it. I installed LO from the debs provided by LO guys cause I wanted the newest 3.4.1 release which is not available in Ubuntu repos yet (including the LO PPA). Hence I can't install libreoffice-style-crystal as that involves installing the dependiences: older LO version from Ubuntu repo and I don't want it. Hopefully Ubuntu repos or at least PPA will be updated soon.
- Jul 09 2011
Sure it does! I was probably looking for more sophisticated way of doing it ;) Dunno really

Same message here and no notification about unread e-mails. I'm on kubuntu oneiric ocelot (dev) with kde 4.6.3 and QT 4.7.3. Even though this is an unstable kubuntu release, KDE with all apps, plasmoids etc. work flawlessly. It's just your plasmoid. Hoping you'll come up with some solution soon as I can't wait to start using it!

I'll have a look. Thanks.

Just realized that locations could be saved only if on related terminals the user logged in was the same as the one logged in to the system..
- Jul 05 2011
Probably this has been mentioned already (too many comments to go through and check) but in case if not here it goes. Yakuake seems to lack of option to save the window split and location in each terminal. No need to say why this would be an advantage.
Ideally I think it would be to have a choice like this:
> save permanently current window split:
>>> a) with locations
>>> b) without locations
or:
> always save split on exit:
>>> a) with locations
>>> b) without locations - Jul 04 2011

The effect occurs under certain (not all) FF confirmation pop-ups. I'm seeing it mostly on Gmail web client: when emptying trash or spam folder. I assume that for yahoo, hotmail etc. it would show up likewise. I've seen it on other rare occasions but I can't remember where now.
- Jul 01 2011
That effect was introduced AFAIR in very first FF4 releases. You could see it when e.g. emptying trash in Gmail: the BG (in this case: gmail website) becomes blurry under the empty-trash-confirmation-pop-up. Initial version of this effect was IMO horrible. In further FF releases it was altered: the BG becomes now darker instead of blurry - and that is much nicer. And so it was in FF5 until I installed Oxygen KDE - it seems that your addon changes it back to blurry. I like Oxygen KDE for many reasons and I want to keep it. But I really can't stand this blurry thing, it simply hurts my eyes. Could you fix it or (if you don't consider it as a bug) introduce an option to switch to the native FF behaviour?
- Jul 01 2011
Maybe it's not a bug but why not make it customizable? I prefer the same height for all tabs. I find the 'bumping' effect a bit annoying.

You can grab it from DA as well (the same author):

Why wouldn't it? AFAIK AWN can run on any desktop environment as long as it meets its dependieces..
- May 26 2011
Well, it's supposed to be :). I used to used it myself. Maybe you haven't got it anti-aliased properly? Anyway it's a matter of taste, maybe you like it like that. And what's more important the theme itself looks great. I'm using it right now with Droid Sans font.
- Jan 12 2011
You could use some nicer font for the screenshots though

There is Gnome logo included. I didn't run the script, just placed the icon folders manually in ~/.icons and then when chose it Gnome logo appeared as default.

Looks nice on my desktop but I'm missing some bits to make it as good as on your shots. What is the mac-ish icons theme and the window decoration style? I can't see any window border included in your theme so guess you used some additional metacity or emelard style for the shots?
- Jan 25 2010
Looks interesting but the grey font in menus (e.g. in Gnome panel or FF menu) seems a bit too light on light-grey background. Could you make the font darker or the background lighter?

On r. 1384 everything goes back to normal:
1) bespin appears in 'Widget style' list
2) after setting bespin in kwin decoration it doesn't crash when I go to 'Workspace Appearance' again
