Description: just another metalic look for kde, based on phase liquid and baghira.
i would be most thankfull for distro's rpm.
special 10x goes to timur from UsefulArts team for his GREAT support, for thomas the creator of baghira for him being kind enough to answer my emails, and for spasemunkie for contributing the progress-bar pixmaps (see - http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=20303)
proud sponsor UsefulArts.org
ScreenShots - a lot of pepole were asking so here it is:
OS - my beloved Gentoo :-) docker - kxdocker icons - SNOWE karamba - cynapses wallpaper - by varius artists including timur, all wallpapers can be found on this site style - Metal4kde winDeco - Metal4kdeLast changelog:
0.2 : add a matching winDeco
for full changeLog see Metal4kde homepage or ChangeLog file in the package.
I've updated the links, hope you won't be angry with me Moty, I still remember your password :)
The links now redirect to Meta4kde homepage where you can find various packages for Metal4kde. Enjoy!
I can't find the developer so I decided to stop hosting it. And believe me I sent him about 10 mails during the past two weeks and about 40 ones in the past two months but still didn't receive no reply. That's all, I'm also sad about it :(
Hi guys!
Thanks for your comments!
I'm the web admin of Metal4kde site.
I've been busy for a while and moty too, sorry for the inconvenience. I'm working on the new web site now and the files will be on-line as soon as possible.
Hi first let me say this is one hell of a theme. No for the bad part about it
I installed the theme and everthing went ok until i tried to open GIMP 2 and firefox 1.0.4. When I try they both crash. Well firefox doen't even start. What can I do to fix this. I realy like this theme and would love to use it. thanks for any help in this matter
one problem i am having is...
things like menus, when i open up kmenu
it looks great with the metal4kde theme ;)
BUT... when i go up and down the menu, the blue highlights stay... like when you move the mouse over, and it highlights,when you move it off, it stays high lighted... and when you go up and down the whole menu, it is blue. not metally.
i dont know if this is with kde, the theme or my settings, but i will play more and let you know what is going on.
just fyi...
i downloaded the suse src rpm listed above, thanks for the link. i installed the source rpm, worked fine.
it installed the tar.gz...
then i just tar xvzf and then compile.
worked fine under fedora core 3 with kde 3.3
great looking skin, has some funnynesses here and there, but im not sure if thats the programs or the skin.
maybe i will try to make an rpm, never done it before, but who knows?
link to ebuild disfunctional;
link to source disfunctional;
(all links point to the same homepage w/o further infos in it)
please provide them as I'd like to test this theme, too;
regards,

Recieve same: "This IP address cannot be used for browsing." Does anyone know anywhere else I can get the ebuild?
I have located a page that has the source code: http://crazy.funny4chat.de/FrugalBuilds/Kde-apps/kde-styles-metal4kde/ I successfully installed it from source on Kubuntu running on a Mac Mini.
