Couldn't compile on KDE 3.3.2, had issues finding .moc files. Seems these are not created by the makefile?

I created them manually and got it to compile.

Here's how I did it on my Gentoo system:

1. From the alloy-0.5.3 directory, run .configure like so:

./configure --prefix=`/usr/kde/3.3/bin/kde-config --prefix`

2. cd alloy-0.5.3/alloyclient/config

3.
/usr/qt/3/bin/moc alloyconfig.h -o alloyconfig.moc
/usr/qt/3/bin/moc configdialog.h -o configdialog.moc

4. cd alloy-0.5.3/alloyclient

5. /usr/qt/3/bin/moc alloyclient.h -o alloyclient.moc

6. cd alloy-0.5.3

7. make

8. make install

I just compiled this using SuSe 9.1 updated to KDE 3.3 and had no problem.
What error(s) did you get?

The scroll buttons need to be fixed so that their corners are not squared.

Alloy 0.5.1 doesn't support the KDE MacOSX like menu bar, if you can please fix it.

Apart of that is one of my favorite styles and has one of the best WinDec i've seen!

You should add "--prefix=`kde-config --prefix`" to the ./configure command. Otherwise it can happen that the files get installed into /usr/local/kde/* where the theme selector doesn't look for themes by default.

Excelent Style!!!

too bad there's not many configuration options, but still, one of the best!

Using the Alloy window decoration causes kwin to crash on me when the option "Advanced -> No border" is set. I'm using KDE 3.2.1, on Slackware-current. Other window decorations don't cause this problem.

Hm... sorry, I can't reproduce the problem. "Advanced -> No border" seems to work fine for me with KDE 3.3.

Which distribution are you using?
Maybe you need to install qt-dev and kde-dev packages first.

Good to see that Alloy is still alive and well.

Since you've ported the window decoration to KDE 3.2, have you also considered:

- a GUI for Alloy's ~/.qt/alloystylerc options accessible from the Style kcm's Configure button?

- making more colours configurable than just primaryColor and selectionColor?

- using KWin's global border size setting instead of a windeco-specific one?

Just some suggestions, I'm in no hurry. :)

Yes, I plan to do these things. However, don't ask me when.

If anyone gets an error message something like this during make:

File generated with too recent version of Qt Designer (3.3 vs. 3.2.3)

Change this line in alloyclient/config/configdialog.ui:

<UI version="3.3" stdsetdef="1">

...to make the 3.3 to 3.2 and then re-make. This worked for me.
