bueno mi problema es este:
cuando modifico un archivo del tema en karbon 14 y despues lo guardo me dice que puede haber una perdida de informacion al guardarlo en svg y se le doy aceptar al probar el tema en las preferencias del sistema no se muestran correctamente las imagenes, o se muestran incompletas o no cambian :(

Thanks for reporting those errors which will try to correct for the next version which I have scheduled for early February.

I also have 1 more problem..

You know the red gradiant, when a window is flashing (window alert). Well, sometimes it gets stuck on that, and won't go away, no matter how many times I click on the window, minimize, bring back up, etc. I think that moving it to another desktop and back works though.

I LOVE this theme! Thank you so much for your work!

I do however have 1 problem which is really annoying me!

When I hover over an item in the taskbar, it turns yellow. This occurs only when I have a window minimized. I also have kwin effects turned off if that helps any.

Just installed Helium and love it. But I do get a black bar on the right side (see here: http://ompldr.org/vYmx4cA/blackbar.jpg ). Does anyone know what it is and how I can get rid of it. It does not appear when I have the taskbar on any of the other three sides of the screen (but the left is where I want it!). Thanks for any tips.

Hey! This theme is just great, only problem is that Lancelot, notifications and other plasma dialogs (for example network-manager and all the tooltips/widgets/dialogs activated from the system tray, or the Box Switch dialog or whatever they're called) are sometimes difficult to see due to high transparency, so it really depends too much on the back standing window or the desktop background.
Do you think anything can be done?

Thanks for the great work up to now!

sorry to just break balls again but...why not compress it in a format that SystemSettings is able to automatically install, instead of xz?

Hi, mcder! Sorry for my English. Having pressed Ctrl + Alt + F12 keys, black screen appeared and nothing else. I have KDE 4.7.3 installed on my PC.

krunner writes from the following line:

killall -9 kwin && kwin

after write

killall -9 plasma-desktop && plasma-desktop

The strangest thing is that none of my friends had that problem with the theme.

you have tried if the problem occurs with xenon theme??

Hey, first of all - really _really_ nice theme! Thanks :) I'd like to request some more icons to be included in the theme, namely Clementine (watch out for it's multi-state icon), Dropbox and also QBitTorrent would be cool ;)
