Description: I saw the screenshots of kde 3.1 and the CVS (with it' s drop shadows) and... I WANNA HAVE THAT TOO , anyone out there that can grab the drop shadow and new keramik from CVS and turn it into one little tarball? *thanks* in advance
well, you could wait, til the next snapshot is there. i just believe that there is now an unstable phase in the development as there was no snapshot for the last 7 days :(
I mostly like Keramik, but I have found that if you use it then webpages with non white backgrounds and drop boxes or buttons have a big white box around them in a white colour just to allow a "shadow" to show on the box...has this been fixed since I downloaded keramik for kde 3.0? Will it be fixed for the 3.1 release?
I know you're probably not supposed to do this but....I transplanted a 3.1 verions these files:
./libkdefx.so.4.1.0
./libkdefx.so.4
./libkdefx.so
./libkdefx.la
, into the 3.02 directory structure.
This worked on Solaris 8 x86 but not on Debian Linux(unstable)
unstable as in=startup, wait 10 sec.
unstable as in=more crashes than usual
unstable as in=it seems that after 250 hours of testing, there is (aprox.) 2% more crashes than usual, and that is quite worying.

Get the current "kdelibs" alpha and do a 'configure'. Then change to the kstyles/keramik directory and do a 'make' / 'make install'.
That's how you can install this Keramik style, works fine with KDE 3.0.
Hi, the shadows are not part of the keramik style - it seems to me that they are part of the kdelibs. You will have to dld kde-cvs (see developer.kde.org to learn how) and compile it.
I don't think the shadows will work with kde3.0 (but of course keramik does!)
Well, It seems I had to make likdefx anyway to get keramik to work. This means drop shadows are hiding around here somewhere. Does anyone know what the config option is? Maybe someone running 3.1a with shadows can go grep -R * -e shadow -i in the .kde config directory, and see if there's an option.

As in the branch of Debian (unstable). Used to be woody. Now woody is stable. Dunno what unstable is called nowadays. smeat!

I'll try this... any idea for the shadows?

Its in kcontrol Pls dont mix kde 3.1 and 3.0 You will get many crashes. Wait for the beta or final q
