Kore is a completely new attempt at finally giving KDE a constant, stylish and modern identity.
This project aims to replace all that was default and redraw your whole desktop. So the category "Emerald-Theme" is unfitting, but there is nothing like a Suite category here.
If you are a really skilled ICON DESIGNER or QT STYLE SKINNER,
contact me at the email found in my profile.
I'm happy for every help i get !
Thanks for checking it out, more Screenshots to come,

Hi, I'm new to this. I got Kubuntu 14.04 LTS. How can I install this theme? A mate showed me how to instal and run emerald theme manager, but it doesn't have any effect when I apply changes in there. And I don't have and cannot find anything called "Beryl" in muon packet manager. There is a "compiz" entry in the menu, but no window appears when I run it...
Sadly, the emerald theme manager is not available for ubuntu 15.04. Could you possibly make a seperate version that I can just pit in the themes folder and select it with the tweak tool, or is this not possible? (I don't know how themes work behind-the-scenes).
thanks but why i can download the first thing only?
i cant download any of them exept the first one then it asks me for a code...whats the code....sorry im new here... ;)

Well the licence needs to be changed from GPL to something else
READ THE GPL DUDE. You cannot use the GPL license on a project and then tell others thou shall not when the GPL explicitly states that others can. Especially IF the artwork in question was made from scratch following your design but was not directly copied from which the GnoMenu Kore and Kore2 themes were done because of design issues of KBFX themes versus GnoMenu themes. All your projects are listed as GPL which gives me the right to copy and modify as I see fit, so long as I share any source code and artwork under that license if I distribute said changes WHICH I DO. YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE GPL ON A WHIM. YOU RELEASE UNDER GPL YOU ARE BOUND BY THE GPL.
Spectacular theme suite! The best I have ever seen and the first to so wholly give my desktop a uniform appearance. I absolutely love it. The only thing I changed on my setup was the fonts.
The crowd wants more!!!
Any progress? (Even anything behind closed doors for now?) :-D
hi good work, will u port the domino skin to gtk? thx, keep it up
Hi, just to let you know, there is a kore and a kore-black gtk2 + metacity theme set out there. I don't recall if I saw it on gnome-look or gnome-art but it IS out there 'cause I'm using it right now in Gnome along with the Kore-glass emerald theme. It's a beaut :)
Keep! It! Up! I just looked through most of your deviantart profile and perused your website... amazing, man. Amazing. THIS is what I'm talkin' about! :) Heck, I bookmarked both those and this Kore suite homepage to make sure I can stay current with it :) Man, I can't thank you enough for the work you've put into this. Obviously you're dedicated to what you do, which is create BEAUTIFUL artwork for whatever environment people use. Best wishes for you and your family. Sincerely, downhill
code2, I've seen you want to make another two versions of Kore; one white and one brown. I have started a project called sKy which is just that- a white/ light blue suite. Please tell me how I should improve it since I'm not very happy about it at the moment.
Please, continue this work. It's actually the best dark theme in GNOME. We want see more!
that the problems originally faced with compiz seem to have doisappeared. and delighted that you are continueing with Code2's work and updating the Kore Suite. Many thanks
i understand the difficulties you face, but please know that we want to see this complete. Kore is by far the best theme-set i have ever seen. have the technical difficulties that you had been overcome?
- Current unfixable bugs: - Corrupted menus with domino style in Beryl (this has to be fixed by either Beryl or Domino developers) - Corrupt Scrollbars in Domino
I dont know what you are talking about. I use all the KORE things and I dont have those problems, EXCEPT that the tooltips are black when you use the domino config. I have made a content (which is just a slightly changed version of original KORE, I dont want to ruin anything) in which it should be fixed: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/KORE+Reviving?content=65266 I have always given credits to code2 so I hope you are not mad at me ^_^
Sorry for this doublepost but I cant see an edit button: Ive just noticed that its a BERYL theme and I'm using Compiz Fusion- everything perfect here. Maybe thats the reason (perfect integration with KORE (/Emerald) in Compiz Fusion). I think Compiz Fusion > Beryl > Compiz > standard KDE
.. just on the waiting list as i have to survive and have something to eat for me and my family. I am LOW on money and OpenSource is not the perfect way to raise THAT. ;) So please, all you guys waiting out there, dont give up, there is HOPE.
I think the second version of KORE should be white/brown. And why is KORE stopped? Or isnt it? You havent added anything for half an year or so...
This is very nice, but I'm a little confused on why it's listed on gnome-look.org? Does it work with Gnome?
It looks like Kore project was stopped (no updates for 2 months or so). Please tell me that you don't! It's the very best theme I know!
