When I run ./configure (with no arguments)it ends in this:
checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!
Obviously I need to put a prefix on ./configure but what is it?
is there a way to prevent this:

the Menu-Entry 'in Posteingang' is cuttet to 'in Posteinga'. This happens only, if the combobox use a scrollbar in it. Otherwise all work perfect.
And a little question or suggestion:
Is it possible to make the checkboxes and radiobuttons looking more similar to this:

I don't like the thick borders around them...
It would be great :)
thx,

Hi, I would like to know if its possible a diferent colors for kicker kmenu than color used on horizontal menu??
And also, I would like to know if a can get a diferent color just for bevel and what color original bevel uses??
Thanks and Congratulations!!!
This is really a stunning style! I'm in love with it ;)
But for some reason, the taskbuttons in my panel look as if they don't match... They seem too light. But that's just a minor detail, this style is truely amazing.
Yes. Although the comment is not written particularly, it has the compatibility in KDE3.2.1+QT3.3 environment.
(In my environment, it is working without problems.)
Hmm, I think the 3D effect of the "combination boxes" (the border which is around several widgets) has too much contrast (almost black and white). The colors should be changeable.
For now I changed the contrast in the color dialog to minimum.
Honestly, this is a combination of the best elements of Keramik. I hope either this or Plastick become default in 4.0 or 3.3.
Great job on it!
BTW: Does anyone have many screenshots of TK on a high bandwith server, I want to post some on the Lindows forums and urge them to switch from Keramik to Thin Keramik.

In my opinion, the buttons are a little bit too fat, still. Maybe this could be configurable?
This backport from activeheart-1.1.4 "Light weight widgets" really adds a whole new feel to ThinKeramik and looks really good... Awesome feature!
This theme is just great! Much better than 'fat' Keramic. One point of criticism: It's quite slow, but maybe it's too early to optimize things a bit?
the best style/deco i ever seen
Its one fantastic theme. Gr8 work man.
Before I try it on my KDE 3.2.1, is it compatible with KDE 3.2.1 and Qt 3.3? ALso, I think it looks great and where are the comments?
Yes. Although the comment is not written particularly, it has the compatibility in KDE3.2.1+QT3.3 environment. (In my environment, it is working without problems.)
use the date picker for comments

Wow this style rocks. The only thing i'd like to see now whould be groop box theming. Something like Baghira's groupshadows.
