Description:
This is a set of widget styles for KDE and Gtk2 based apps.
As from 0.47 I've removed *lots* of config options, as there was just way too many - and this would make the Qt4/KDE4 port that I plan to do, very difficult. I'll leave the links to 0.46.4 up for anyone who wants the very configurable versions.
As of 0.43 I'm no longer updating the Gtk1 version - its too much work and hassle for an outdated toolkit that I no longer use. The Gtk2 code has been clean up because of this.
The fonts and colours for the GTK themes will be read in from your Qt settings - so any KDE font/colour changes will also affect your GTK apps.
Screenshot 1 shows the default variant of the theme.
Screenshot 2 shows inverted gradients.
Screenshot 3 shows the "shiny glass" gradients.
NOTE: kde-look.org had a server crash, and the original QtCurve entry was deleted.

by SaikoBee on: 03/08/2007, 7:14 | | And now I am downgrading...
The removal of functionality pisses me off to be quite honest, I loved the choices I had before. Why did you remove them?

by barnie on: 03/08/2007, 10:13 | | Hi Craig,
I like your effort towards at Qt4 variant, but cannot really understand, why you castrated that style, whos configurability has made it popular, so much.
The features I can not live without in descending priority:
1. Rectangular widgets: My hate against rounded widgets is so deep, that I'm really unable to use a rounded widget set and will downgrade ASAP.
2. Unstriped progress: The striped progress bars (espacially in the new version) are so distracting, that this is another good point not using it.
3. Lines in tree views: I know GTK can not draw them, but I think the usability plus is a stronger argument than total uniform look.
There are more options I'm missing but these above are my most important wishes to port them back to the new version.
Greetings,
barnie
