* (hopefully) fixed the bug with the white gap between the minimize and maximize button
* smaller radiuses at the buttons edges
* slicker titlebar reflections
* thinner borders (only 1 px)

Hi, I use Kubuntu 8.04 I use terminal: ./configure -prefix=/usr and later sample this message: configure:3305: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. My log file: http://pastebin.com/f161f6a1e Please, can help me?
You don't have a C++ compiler on there. You need to install the gcc-c++ package (while you're at it, install gcc as well if you haven't already). This can probably be done with apt-get, but I'm not sure how you use it.
You don't have a C compiler
Good loock and good work
please make a left buttons theme thanks sorry for my bad english
pls someone explane step by step how to install
PLEASE
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
Thanks to Exeon at: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=124961 He said: >I know this shouldn't be right. >gcc was already installed on my machine but I still got: >C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check >I looked at config.log and it said something like: >cc1plus command not found >i found cc1 >/usr/lib/gcc/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/3.4.1/cc1 >so I linked it in /usr/bin >ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/3.4.1/cc1 cc1plus >voila: all working
Very cool. I'd really like to see this with a darker border though (blue or black).
Just an annoyance... for me, there is a little white gap between the minimize and maximize buttons. Doesn't seem to matter how i configure it. This is different from your screen shot. I'm using all three buttons... i tried with and without spacers, same story.
Very clean and nice. Using it with shadows too. But I have two annotations: 1) When showing the application icon in the title bar there's too little space between it and the window title. 2) I would LOVE fading buttons as seen in the "Glow" theme. =)
This decoration is showing some drawing errors on the title bars. It seems to happen when choosing not to draw the application icon and having the titlebar text alligned to the left.
The following worked on an Ubuntu 7.04 system: ./configure --prefix=$(kde-config --prefix) make sudo checkinstall
well I´ve complied it as u say but in the control-center it doesn´t appear :( sry, my english sucks :D
ok, I got it: I have to use /usr as prefix
Even when using "make -f admin/Makefile.common && make clean" like suggested, no dice. That command gives: *** YOU'RE USING autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61. *** KDE requires autoconf 2.53 or newer make: *** [cvs] Error 1 Makes no sense at all. :/
do u happen to use gentoo? if so, then syncronize ur portage and then emerge the newer gcc... worked for me
My system is up to date (AMD64). But like the error says: I need 2.53 or newer, but I HAVE newer: 2.61... weird...
As on many different places, the make -f thingy-command is no good for there is some nutty version-checking in the admin/cvs.sh. This check is way too picky about version-numbers returned from automake.(I'd simply comment this part of the code out) Furthermore, a lot of developers simply do not use a standard KDE-installation for testing (if they did, these kind of errors wouldn't show up so commonly!) DEVELOPERS: Get it right, please! Then: ./configure produces an error: expected an absolute directory-name for <...> You have to go: make -f Makefile.cvs Then ./configure (the plain command!), make and make install (as usual) I'll now have a look if installation went into the proper subdirs...
Nah, didn't think so. This package won't do on a plain Mandriva-install, nor a PCLinuxOS-install. Directories are not default, references to libraries are not standard. Sorry, need some work. I'd say: please do so, for the screen-shots are very nice and very original!
Might work if you'd copy the material from /usr/local/<whatever> to /usr<whatever> or you MUST have the path to /usr/local/lib active (which is not standard under Mandriva). Got it working and i'm happy...
Doesn't build for me either. Same errors as everyone else. Something in your build system is screwed up.
I'm impressed by your screenshots, but I can't get this to install. First off, some files weren't set to be executable, so I just did a "chmod 777 * -R" in the cylonminimal directory. After configure, I try to run "make" and get the following output: ryan@KOMGZ:~/Downloads/cylonminimal-0.1$ make make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ryan/Downloads/cylonminimal-0.1' Making all in kwin make[2]: Entering directory `/home/ryan/Downloads/cylonminimal-0.1/kwin' Making all in . make[3]: Entering directory `/home/ryan/Downloads/cylonminimal-0.1/kwin' /bin/bash ../libtool --silent --mode=link g++ -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -O2 -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -o kwin3_cylonminimal.la -rpath /usr/lib/kde3 -L/usr/lib -L/usr/share/qt3/lib -avoid-version -module -no-undefined -R /usr/lib -R /usr/share/qt3/lib -R /usr/lib -module cylonminimal.lo -lkdeui /usr/lib/libkdecorations.la g++: .libs/cylonminimal.o: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [kwin3_cylonminimal.la] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/ryan/Downloads/cylonminimal-0.1/kwin' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ryan/Downloads/cylonminimal-0.1/kwin' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ryan/Downloads/cylonminimal-0.1' make: *** [all] Error 2 any ideas?
The same here :'(
