Description: This is Liquid, the theme by Daniel M. Duley a.k.a Mosfet, released with a few modifications:
A rewritten kwin engine that works on KDE 3.2.x (Tried porting it but the kwin engine badly needed an update) The kcm module is depreciated in favor of the KStyle Config Transparency shifted to the kstyle server. (Yes, XRender works now) Misc : Fix of a few quirks in the widget engine
Credits : Mosfet for the underlying code Thomas Lübking for a lot of help David Johnson for the example window decoration
I downloaded the tar file and tried to compile it on my Kubuntu 7.04 pc. It gave me following error...
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution
./admin/cvs.sh: 585: autoconf: not found
*** AUTOCONF NOT FOUND!.
*** KDE requires autoconf 2.52, 2.53 or 2.54
make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
if anybody can help whats wrong?
Edit admin/cvs.sh
comment out the case block whining about automake verison (or whatever it says you need).
run
make -f Makefile.cvs from project dir
run configure --prefix=/opt/kde3
run make
make install
you're done
I love this theme i want to use it with Baghira's buttons, but i cant seem to get it installed. I have learned that normally you would ./configure, make, su to root then make install but your source package is missing the configure files. How do i compile and make this style?
Im using Fedora 2 but for a source code file it shouldn't make a difference should it? Or could it be an architecture problem i have an i686. If this helps.
I wish someone would maintain this package, because it's an awesome theme that no longer exists in the repositories, and will no longer build from source (on my system at least). If anyone decides to update this program and make it work on openSuse 10+, please let me know.
This I like - it kicks Baghiras ass :-) Anyhow - a proposal for an improvement. If you give an option to have rect buttons/sliders/scrollbars like Liquid gives in Konqueror with buttons - same nice glossy feeling, it will be perfect. The reason - without real antialiasing, all curves give pixels that stand out.
The tabs are perfect. I don't get pixel artifacts. Mostly, the artifacts show on the scrollbars. But with scrollbars, rectangularly shaped and with an option for rect buttons - it would be: Perfection :)

Hello, thank you for continued work on mosfet's liquid!
There is a problem with your project on kde 3.3.0:
Stripples aren't working on Menus or the KMenu in KDE 3.3.0.
But they work everywhere else they were intended to. Please contact me
if I can help you fix this problem in anyway. Thanks, I love your
work, please continue!
in slackware 10.0 it shows
bash-2.05b$ make -f Makefile.cvs
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution
*** YOU'RE USING automake (GNU automake) 1.8.5.
*** KDE requires automake 1.6
make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
bash-2.05b$
how can i fix it
First u need to remove the directory admin in the source tree. After that, well just copy paste the whole path exactly like i have written it starting from $(... ie, u should be doin a "cp $(kde-config --prefix)/share/apps/kdelibs/admin ." inside the src tree.
thanx
this time i have understand but
i can't find the
(kde-config --prefix)/share/apps/kdelibs/admin
folder :)
my kde installed in /opt/kde
i have found the ...etc..../apps
but then there is no kdelibs folder
Maybe u might be having a /opt/kde3/share/apps/kapptemplate/admin/
folder ? My suse box has a folder fir kdelibs. kapptemplate should be more generic ... Could you just confirm
kiconedit crashes with any style that dares to replace the background with something different from a color.
i hacked around that in the last baghira version - look at the code.
if you need advice, tell me.
Can't locate object method "path" via package "Request" at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/C4che.pm line 69, line 111.
make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1
this error with make -f Makefile.cvs
Hmm, i know its too much to ask for a theme, but can u try replacing the admin folder with the one that with ur distro?
Within the theme folder, do a rm -r admin & copy admin from kde-config --prefix/share/apps/kdelibs/admin.Doing a make -f Makefile.cvs after that should clear things up.
I guess the problem is that using a SuSE admin messes up things in other distros.
Well u will need the development packages (kdelibs3-devel in my case)

I like it!!!

I haven't looked, but try make -f Makefile.cvs && ./configure && make && su -c 'make install'

Could you try replacing the admin folder with $(kde-config --prefix)/share/apps/kdelibs/admin
actually i could not understand what u say plz say details

Great work, but I found small bug. KIconEdit application crashed with Liquid 0.9.7 and KDE 3.2.3/QT 3.3.2. WIth other style everything works fine.
kiconedit crashes with any style that dares to replace the background with something different from a color. i hacked around that in the last baghira version - look at the code. if you need advice, tell me.
keep going! very good theme. lighter then baghira.
Does anyone know what the last version of mosfet's liquid was? Was it 0.9.6pre4? If so where can I get it?
same here except for gcc 3.3.3
Have you tried make -f Makefile.cvs before configure?

try to delete the autom4te cache in the top source dir, then make -f Makefile.cvs; ./configure && make again
