Description: Knifty for KDE version 3.2 and above.Last changelog:
0.4.2 - Fix compile for gcc 3.4.x - Make titlebar buttons only react on left-click, if they have one function only. (Bug #58220) - Set the correct state for OnAllDesktop/Maximize buttons in the initialization. - Some minor cleanups... 0.4.1 - Update to recent API changes in KWin CVS. 0.4.0 - Ported to the KDE 3.2 window decoration API (thank you Michael Pyne!). - Cleaned up the configuration dialog: - Removed the "shrink borders" setting. (use KWin's "allow moving and resizing of maximized windows" setting.) - Removed the "border size" setting. (Configurable globally in KWin now.) - Removed the "titlebar height" setting. (Overlapping with the font size setting & quite limited space for the config dialog )
during the make command it aborts installation...

what's the reason? =(
Nice deco, very clean and functional.
However, using the mouse on the title bar doesn't give the expected result of executing the action defined under 'window behaviour'.
This was quite trivially fixed by adding a wheel event handler in the kniftyclient source. For those interested: a patch can be found here:
http://home.student.utwente.nl/n.h.m.aandebrugh/wheel_events.diff
Applying is done like this:
..../knifty-0.4.2$ patch -p1 < /path/to/mouse_events.diff
Under KDE 3.3, I get the following error:
config.cpp:110:22: config.moc: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [config.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/ryan/knifty/client/config'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ryan/knifty/client'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ryan/knifty'
make: *** [all] Error 2
So, I tried:
# moc config.h -o config.moc
And got this:
config.h:0: Warning: No relevant classes found. No output generated.
Moc generated an empty config.moc however, which of course generated even more errors (tried to make it just to see what would hapen). Not exactly sure what's going on here...
I am a beginner of linux.
I start to install this theme ,when I type ./configure,
it will ends at
"checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!"
what's wrong?or maybe I must install some other software?
In the early versions of knifty you could resize the vertical height of the window decoration without increasing the font-size. Is there a way to still do this? I can't stand big fonts, but I think the window decoration is too small using my preferred font size.
The screenshot looks great, but I'm having lots of trouble matching it on my system. I've successfully emerged Knifty 0.4.1, and I can now select it in my Window Decorations control panel. Does anybody know what settings the author is using in the screenshot? What widget style, color scheme, fonts, etc. Of course, if anybody has better suggestions, I'll try them out.
The widget style is Plastik, but I'm not sure about the color sheme. I think it's the old sheme included in Plastik 0.3.9. The font is Bitstream Vera Sans, the ebuild is called "ttf-bitstream-vera".
I don't remember the name of the wallpaper, I found it on this site.

Nice theme. But it's too bad not all the buttons are available :/ I use KeepAbove and Shade buttons in my decorations.

...but unfortunately all scroll-functions on the title-bar are disabled. Nevertheless I love it! thank You! prostetnik
...correction: The wheel-function!
nice work,thank you.

/me tries not to drool on your windeco ^^ i love it ! any chance for keep above others /below other button support ? thank you ^^
yes, that's what i am missing, too. Please add those missing buttons to the really best windeco for kde!
Oh yes, nice! But... can you limit the smallest possible title font? Now in some cases Utility windows got way too small font and become unreadable
I finally found a real clean and still interesting window decoration! Thanks!
Best windecoration for KDE ! Great Work !

Works great, thanks!

please include the 4 new kde 3.3 title bar buttons. thx

yea...i agree to!
yup, that's the only thing stopping me from using this decoration :/
Hello, I'm moving to kde3.3, will knifty work with it? Thanks, Norberto
Yes, works fine.

Please remove the blue/grey (?) line at top, otherwise I think I'll use knifty!
