The KDE version is 3.1.0
Can anyone help me, please?!! I've installed other styles and couldn't use them because of the same problem.
I don't know what is wrong.

When I do this in Mandrake 9.1, I can't find any new theme in the control center. Of course, it's the same without the prefix. What shall I do?

i tried to compile the new version 041 on my qt 3.1.2 -system and this is what i got:
==
File generated with too recent version of Qt Designer (3.2 vs. 3.1.2)
==
ooh, i thought this update was running on my (old?) system, too ;(
anyway: this is the style i love mostly of all!

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.
