Description: This is my try to create a color scheme for amaroK.
As you can see, I'm not a great artist, but the attempt was to create an example for other developers/artists of how a amaroK CSS-Scheme could look like, because I didn't find one.
I basically copied the default CSS-Code from the HTML-Source Code of the Context Browser, (beautified it) and changed a lot of things.
Please note, that I removed the musicbrainz image (display: none), because I don't need it ;-) If you want to enable that again, delete line 139 of the style sheet.
I hope someone finds this useful.
How to install:
- download the archive - unpack the stylesheet.css to "$KDEHOME/share/apps/amarok/styles/yellow/" (create the directoy first) - stop amaroK (sorry, your music has to wait a few seconds) - Edit your amarokrc (in $KDEHOME/share/config) and add the following line to the "General Options" section:
Hi, nice theme !
Just one thing that get on my nerves ... How do you all manage to get the albums preview thumbs to be displayed ?? I have never been able to get it work ... and it's should be more than easy no ?
You'll need to exit amaroK before editing the file, or the changes will be lost when amaroK exists :)
Yes, we know this is not a very user-friendly way of doing it ;) The work is not complete yet on this, and we have plans to implement a GUI to switch the stylesheets from within amaroK, so no worries :)
Thanks for your comment, I updated my instructions.
I'm sure you'll improve this feature... amaroK always improved.
But no reason to not try this feature ;-)
Definitely :) If you look in the amaroK screenshots section, the one listed there is my theme ;) I'll be releasing it myself when the interface stabilises a little more :)
im gonna download this. i just hope it compiles right.
anyway, is it possible to add two more DCOP commands?
the first is to get a percentage of currenttime/total time
and the second is to open up the album cover window.

You can't compile a style sheet. :)
