Installing the theme goes well but when I apply it it just doesn't look anything like your screenshots..
It looks like this:

killall plasma-desktop && plasma-desktop

The probleem seems to be opengl. Every reboot it seems to crash somehow. Switched to xrender now for a test and the theme seems to be acting how I want it to act now.

Does changing to Xrender not give me other errors as far as you know?

Hey, the lancelot text for me is really light to a white background. I was wondering if it could be darkenened some?

Hey, I like the new updates!

I was wondering if you would like to maybe provide some icons for Skype and Pidgin as well. That'd be pretty cool. (Not sure if it can be done though since Skype and Pidgin icons are dynamic, e.g. away icons are different that available ones).

Thanks so much for the theme!

Seriously excellent theme!

Any chance to get a clementine icon?
It's frequently used app by many.

Report

you can not create an icon for skype and pidgin as these are not compatible with the plasma desktop.

sorry for my bad english

I guess I want to note that the ethernet networking icon is gray, whereas the other icons are darker.

Hi again,

Please disregard the comment about the networking icon. Turns out that plasma-desktop needed to be restarted. :)
