Hey, thanks. However, I am afraid you are not wrong as this is the last update I am releasing... Sorry to disappoint :( - May 10 2014

Hello Thomas,

When I try to create a new decoration preset, I noticed that it is applied to all windows, and not just the ones for which the preset was created in the first place. I understand that this has been noted before and was fixed in an older revision (rev 1486), so perhaps it is a regression?

I am using revision 1657. Thanks for your time! - Feb 26 2013

Hi again,

I have uploaded a new version which makes sure that the ptheme script lists only valid themes. Can you try with the new version, select the default theme and let me know how it goes? Thanks - Feb 24 2013
Reflektions

Full Icon Themes by linuxfever 28 comments

Hello,

You are probably right, it does deserve a bit more love to make it fully functional. At the moment, the script tries to take the metadata from an existing theme and using 'sed' replaces the name to Reflektions.

So far, I have had no problems with it. I guess it has something to do with the 'default' theme you selected. In my system, the 'default' theme is in fact the Air theme and is found in /usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/default. This folder contains everything necessary to create the theme (widgets, backgrounds, icons etc). There is however a 'default' folder also in my home directory, $HOME/.kde/share/apps/desktoptheme/default which is incomplete (does not have all the required files to create a proper theme), yet still appears in the dropdown list of the install_ptheme script. Can you make sure you have selected the correct (complete) theme? I would suggest starting from scratch, ie remove the Reflektions plasma theme (move it somewhere else) and run the script.

PS, you have been posting in the old KDE3 reflektions icons :) - Feb 23 2013

Full Icon Themes by linuxfever 117 comments

Hmm, in my system, the directory '.dropbox-dist/...' is actually in my home folder. The script in fact does exactly what you did, goes to the dropbox directory in the home folder and replaces those icons with the reflektions ones.

Anyway, I am glad you sorted things out :) - Feb 21 2013

Hey, I uploaded a new version. Can you download and run just the install_dropbox script please? Let me know how it goes. - Feb 21 2013

Hey again,

I think it is not necessary anymore to install the dropbox icons. Did you try restarting dropbox, or logging out to see if the correct panel icon is used? - Feb 20 2013

Full Icon Themes by linuxfever 117 comments

Hello. Yeah, I just noticed the same problem in my desktop too, even though the dropbox icon in my panel is the one from the Reflektions theme.

I will post back when I figure out what is happening. Thanks for bringing this to my attention:) - Feb 20 2013

I think I understand now what you mean by the right-alignment of the first layer. Wouldn't the right thing though be to click on the arrow and expand the view regardless of the alignment of the first layer? - Dec 26 2012

Hello again and happy Xmas,

There seems to be a small bug in dolphin when using details view mode. Clicking on the small arrow to expand the contents of a folder does not work. To make it work, you have to click on the blank area to the left of the arrow, which is strange.

Using latest revision 1638. - Dec 26 2012

Be-Shell/Bespin by thomas12777 1663 comments

Hmm, you are right, I had not noticed that. If I open more tabs, then the gap gradually disappears.

Is there any setting where I can disable the centring of the tabs? Thanks - Dec 10 2012
Bespin

Be-Shell/Bespin by thomas12777 1663 comments

Hi Thomas,

There seems to be a problem with the spacing of the tabs when two or more are open. In particular, a big gap appears between the first tab and the left-most side of the tab-bar. To see what I mean just open dolphin and create two tabs.

I believe it is a bespin related problem, as it does not occur for example with oxygen.

Running latest revision and kde 4.9.4. Let me know if you need more information. - Dec 10 2012

Hi thomas,

I have been experiencing a weird problem. Everytime I boot into my KDE the kwin bespin decoration is not there (presumably it has crashed). If I go to a virtual console and restart kdm then everything is loading properly.

If I change the decoration to Oxygen then I no longer have this problem. I am using the latest bespin revision and KDE 4.9.2. Any help is appreciated! - Oct 16 2012

Plasma 4 Extensions by ArthurTaborda 77 comments

Hello and thanks for this plasmoid! I would like to know if it is possible to change the systray icon somehow?

I tried replacing the tomatoid-icon.png located in $HOME/.kde/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/tomatoid/ as well as the ones in the 'images' directory, but the icon did not change.

Is the icon hard-coded in the plasmoid? If so, are there any release plans for selecting a custom one?

Thanks in advance! - Jul 31 2012

Regarding VLC, yes it has the same issue as yawp. I am not really sure what is happening with clementine, I will have to check it.

The icons you asked for, hopefully I will have them ready for the next release :) - Jul 30 2012
Reflektions_KDE4

Full Icon Themes by linuxfever 117 comments

Have a look at version 1.51, kteatime is there. Also, clementine in my computer appears correctly, i.e. the monochrome version.

Regarding yawp, it seems that the weather icons are hard-coded which means the only way to match the icons with the reflektions theme is to replace the original icons in the source code and build yawp from scratch.

Similarly for Skype, only in that case we do not even have the source code... - Jul 30 2012

You should be able to find the default icons in /usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/default/icons.old.

Simply rename this folder to icons and you should be good to go.

By the way, the replacement of the default systray icons by the Reflektions theme is the old way. Currently, the Reflektion icon theme creates its own plasma theme based on your preferences... - Jun 18 2012

Glad you made it :)

The icon theme is not complete yet, so it is likely that some icons will be missing. Can you send me a screenshot of the missing icon to linuxfever@yahoo.gr? Use ksnapshot to take a picture. - Feb 06 2012

Full Icon Themes by linuxfever 117 comments

yes, v1.47 is the latest one.

1) Click on 'click_to_install.sh'
2) In the first pop-up, select Yes
3) In the new window, click 'Install Theme File'
4) In the location, give the newly created Reflektions_KDE4.tar file.
5) Click OK.
6) Again, Click OK.

7) In the information window, click OK.
8) In the KDialog window, give /usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/default (or any theme you want to use)
9) Click OK
10) Enter new theme name, for example 'myTheme'
11) click OK
12) Click Yes
13) Select 'myTheme' and press OK.
12) For dropbox, click No if you do not have it.

That should install everything you need. - Feb 06 2012

You do not need to extract manually anything. Go to System settings->Application Appearance->Icons->Install Theme File and select the .tar archive. This will install the theme. - Feb 06 2012

Ok, I have uploaded a new version of the icons. Can you download and try again? - Feb 06 2012
Reflektions_KDE4

Full Icon Themes by linuxfever 117 comments

No worries, we have all been there.

Basically, the script does the following things:

1) builds the icon set
2) offers to install the icon set
3) creates a plasma theme out of an existing one
4) offers to select the plasma theme
5) offers to install dropbox icons

For step 2, you will find the icon theme as Reflektions_KDE.tar in the extracted directory.

Now, for step 3 you need to select a directory which contains an existing plasma theme. This is usually /usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/default. Once you have done this, the script will ask you for a name for your theme. Give, for example, 'Giolf'. Then it will offer the possibility to activate your theme and will open a selection screen. Choose the theme named 'Giolf'. This should do it.

For the last step, if you do not use dropbox, then simply select 'No'.

Good luck! - Feb 06 2012

To test if you have the convert command, open a terminal and give the following command:

which convert

You should get something like /usr/bin/convert. If not, then you will have to install the program 'imagemagick'.

Which distribution do you use? - Feb 06 2012

Sorry for the late reply.

To uninstall dropbox:

- go to $HOME/.dropbox-dist/icons/hicolor/16x16/
- replace icons in "status" with icons in "status.old"

To uninstall systray icons

- go to /usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/default/
- replace icons in "icons" with icons in "icons.old"
- replace icons in "widgets" with icons in "widgets.old"

You will need to log out of KDE for the changes to take effect. - Jan 22 2012

Full Icon Themes by linuxfever 117 comments

Hello,

Ktorrent, printer applet, and korganizer already have systray icons. They are not in SVG format as the rest, but they do fit well in the system tray.

Unfortunately, skype tray icon is hardcoded which means that unless skype developers do something about it, we will be stuck with that awful skype icon in the tray.

VLC and smplayer icons are also hardcoded (I think) but they can be changed provided you build the applications from scratch. You would need to replace all the icons and then compile. - Dec 05 2011
