Any chance to have Skulpture semi-ported to Qt3?

Are there plans to make a rounded skulpture?

Yep, you can make rounded buttons, just find the line with "k *= 0.1;" in skulpture.cpp and replace the number with a higher value (0.2 ... 0.9). Other widgets cannot have round frames yet, so I did not implement a user visible configuration option.

I had hoped to merge the new frame engine into 0.2. It has configurable roundness without the problems that the old button frame engine has. But that will have to wait for a future version.

You can still report, as there will be more 0.2.x updates shortly. Actually I released it to get more feedback! Not that I run out of ideas, though

I am not interested in a Qt 3 port. In fact, I spend all my energy to make KDE 4 usable, in the hope that I can remove KDE 3 one day.

Wow, looks nice. Yeah, I'll wait until all the widgets can have a rounded border before I try it. Keep up the good work!

hi,

could you please highten up the panel header(eg. places panel header) of your theme so that the white space of the places panel(or whatever panel is in there) levels with the white space on the other side(where the directories reside)? i marked it with a red line in my screenie to elaborate my point. don't know.. it catches my eyes. i think it's visually cleaner if they get aligned. here's a screenshot: http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii11 ... lpture.png

i really like your theme so much. here's wishing for a slicker and more contemporary version in the future
thanks!

Hm, I would rather make the path selector smaller I gave up trying, but I have a workaround for 0.2.1.

I still need more feedback, before I release it, though.

btw, if u don't mind.. is there a chance to make its texture look like bespin? *wishing*


thank you for your beautiful theme!

Texture? Are you talking about full window gradients like Oxygen has? I tried them, and they disturbed the clean appearance it currently has.

Anyway, try option "Make places panel transparent" in snapshot 0.2.0.1, it does not resize the dock header, but maybe it helps improving your dolphin experience.

If you find other annoyances, please let me know. I really like your feedback. Too bad KejPi does not share his with us

Oh well I didn't know you tried it but thanks anyway...

Unfortunately, I am not using KDE right now because there are too many things that are holding me back. To name a few, the Firefox integration and this. But I'll give it a shot. It would be pleasure..

THX U very much! I love this option!

I really love this theme, especially with the Qtqurve color scheme. There is one little thing that bothers me though. Whenever you deselect a file or a folder, an ugly highlight appears on that item. See the screenshot to see what I mean. Is it possible to get rid of that completely?

Confirming this artefact - the first icon is always semiselected.
Using kubuntu intrepid packages of skulpture-0.2.0

It is a Qt feature to make sure the keyboard focus indicator in item views, such as the one Dolphin uses, is always visible, even if the widget has been activated by mouse.

I changed this behaviour in version 0.2.1.1, not only for Dolphin, but for all item views. This means the focus indicator should no longer be visible, unless you use the Tab key to focus into the widget. If this does not degrade usability, I would like to make this the default for future versions.

So please test it a bit and tell me if this needs to be reverted.

@SeaJey, sorry for your comment on WordPress showing up so late, it got marked as spam because of the image link

Thank you so much for fixing this "bug" This made the style only better, and as far as I know, Skulpture is the only style without this "bug" now.

One more suggestion. Bespin allows you to disable menu icons, did you think about adding this option to Skulpture? I think it would be good to have this

Another suggestion:
ability to customize skulpture windeco - by now it is to wide and would be nice to get it a bit slimmer.

Yes, the code is already there. But I need some more code reshuffling so that configuration actually reaches rendering code. Right now, only layout and setup of widgets can be customized. You will have to wait for a future version (not 0.2.x).

Try 0.2.1.3 snapshot, and tell me if this is what you ment.
