Hi The screenshot looks great! Can you please paste your conkyrc for us to use? Also how to use the CSS style sheets with dolphin.. and please paste the whole CSS file Thanks!

TheRob

Thx! conky monitors is from here: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/DoYouLikeIt2?content=120135 conky calendar is from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8782789&postcount=147 about the qss... well, the rest of it would be very very very very unusable for anybody else but me, as the rest of it is just a huge pixmap that is loaded on the main window,,, so if I where to change the font settings it would already look fkd. how to use dolphin with stylesheet? well, just: dolphin --stylesheet /path/to/qssfile.qss

I think you must tell this artwork to kde to implement this style as deffault. I don't find it now, but in kde forum, there was a petition to have several default styles/themes to new kde users. And I think it is the best one. I'm new on KDE and linux and personally I've tried to have this style without result. So I think it would be great to get bigger the linux community, your artwork is excellent.

Excellent indeed. I remember the topic you're talking about, it's on the Brainstorm part of the KDE's Forum. Luckly I posted on it, so here is the URL : http://forum.kde.org/brainstorm.php#idea62375_page1 It's a submitted idea but I guess you still can add your comment. I'm trying to get the same look for my KDE. I love Air and Oxygen, but this is even better. And change is good.

lluforma

Thanks to remember me the url. Take a look http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=122050 I hope they consider my petition

lluforma

sorry, this http://forum.kde.org/brainstorm.php#idea62375_page2

Any information about the Qt Style Sheets you used on dolphin would be appreciated. Is there any tutorial you followed or sth? Btw this is one of the most beautiful desktops I've ever seen ;)

TheRob

Well thx! hmmm everything I know is taken from here: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/stylesheet.html here is the tabs section from my qss file tho: QTabBar::tab { background: qlineargradient(x1: 0, y1: 0, x2: 0, y2: 1, stop: 0 #8f8f8f, stop: 0.15 #cacaca, stop: 0.25 #cacaca, stop: 1.0 #b2b2b2); border-style : none double solid double solid; border-width: 1px; border-color: #969696; border-bottom-left-radius: 8px; border-bottom-right-radius: 8px; min-width: 8ex; padding : 1px; } QTabBar::tab:selected, QTabBar::tab:hover { background: qlineargradient(x1: 0, y1: 0, x2: 0, y2: 1, stop: 0 #8f8f8f, stop: 0.15 #d7d7d7, stop: 0.25 #d7d7d7, stop: 1.0 #c0c0c0); border: 1px solid #8f8f8f; } QTabBar::tab:selected { border-color: #969696; border-style : none ridge ridge groove; border-width : 2px; border-top-color: #afafaf; background: qlineargradient(x1: 0, y1: 0, x2: 0, y2: 1, stop: 0 #c6c6c6, stop: 1 #b7b7b7); } QTabBar::tab:!selected { margin-bottom: 2px; /* make non-selected tabs look smaller */ border-top-color: #9f9f9f; margin-right : -1px; } /* make use of negative margins for overlapping tabs */ QTabBar::tab:selected { /* expand/overlap to the left and right by 4px */ margin-left: -4px; margin-right: -4px; } yeah... everything is done with qss... ...no pixmaps in the tabs. just ask if anything is unclear.

Izo

That is a superb looking desktop man. Your font rendering still sucks though. =p /izo\

TheRob

hahahaha, thx, the font rendering on my desktop I guess is always gonna suck... ...since I prefer kinda rough fonts before the blurry fonts most ppl use :) tho I just noticed the fkn tinypic has fkd up my screenshot by scaling it.... ...gonna fix.

hdoria

Awesome work man. How did you got that menubar on top? T

TheRob

Thx! bespin style includes an xbar plasmoid that when added to panel "snaps" the menubar to the top panel: http://cloudcity.sourceforge.net/

mirzaD

What are the icons that you are using in the bottom panel, and how did you get it to look that way? Beautiful desktop by the way.

TheRob

The icons is the token icons everybody seems to be using atm: http://brsev.deviantart.com/art/Token-128429570 hmmm, how I got dolphin looking that way? using qss: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/stylesheet.html thx.

TheRob

Oh you probably meant how I got the panel looking like that.... well, its one of the standard settings in awn-settings called edgy :)

LaGaDesk

...a typical TheRob screen. Completely outstanding! Man, for that what do you do with your desktop, would fruits and vegetables green with envy. Your idea for the tabs is a good one! :) Best Regards Lars

TheRob

Hehe thx man! well the idea for the tabs is actually and old one from the kde3 days, I just sorta miss it.

Yaba

Where can I get the plasma monitors and the calendar that is shown here? Please, do not tell me that this is just a mockup.

TheRob

no mockup. These are not plasma tho, these are made using conky: http://conky.sourceforge.net/ using lua scripting you can get all kinds of stuff painted on the desktop, look here: http://www.deviantart.com/#order=9&q=conky+lua you should know tho... conky does not play nice with plasma... ...having something to do with plasma not painting anything to the root window. ..could be that is fixed with conky 1.8 with the argb support tho.. sorry bout the rant.
