Half desktop theme :)

Postby n00biest » Jun 11th, '12, 12:16

i've installed H20 plasma theme, theme with transparency, found at kde-look.org (http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=136497 ), and, though it works on plasmoids (right, on my pic ), it doesn't affect the boardtoolbar that much (left on my pic ), which almost looks like stock black oxygen desktop theme... however, from pictures i see at kde-look, the boardtoolbar should be like the plasmoid .

oxygen-gtk, oxygen-transparent, and dedicated libs are installed ... on mageia 1.

if you got a mn or two, not much, it's not that necessary, please, tell me what's lacking .

Maybe you need to customize your theme, and tell KDE it should use the theme for the parts you want transparent?
systemsettings -> Workspace Appearance -> Workspace Design -> Details tab
and maybe just set the parts you want adjusted to something else, than back to what you want it to be, apply and logout/-in again.

looks like the short-info box is taken from a different theme(maybe androbit). I just installed H20 and all has full tranparancy.
@n00biest, follow doktor's advice and look under the details tab if all components are from the same theme.
BTW bare-naked is the best theme regarding transparancy(imho).
for windows problems reboot; for linux problems be root

All details lines were already filled with H20 in Details tab.
I've tried a reinstall right now, using the systems settings, coz previous install was done by myself.
Still not working.
Thinking of installing XP. :lol:

You mean you reinstalled Mageia just for the theme? Or you reinstalled [the theme or Mageia] but kept your old settings?
Actually both would be totally wrong, the latter even more than the former. Would you please clarify?
