Ubuntu :: Old Revisions Of KDE Oxygen Themes Available
Jun 9, 2010
I was wondering if old revisions of KDE's oxygen theme are available. Specifically I am looking for the theme that shipped with KDE 4.1 (Kubuntu 8.10), and more particularly I am interested in the kicker theme. I attached a screenshot to show you what I mean. I virtualized Kubuntu 8.10 and grabbed all the themes from /usr/share/kde(4?)/aps/desktopthemes/ and transfered them to my main install, which is using kde 4.4.3, but themes where light colored (i.e. the kicker was light gray and didn't look anything like they did in KDE 4.1).
I don't think it is a compatibility issue because I compared the 4.1 themes with the 4.4 themes and they had the same directory structure and config file format (and the Elegance theme looked the same). So in short, does anyone know where I can download the Oxygen theme from KDE 4.1, or if there is something that I am doing wrong making the old version light colored on KDE 4.4?
I downloaded the oxygen cursors and oxygen cursors extras form the official ubuntu repos using synaptic. I am running gnome in ubuntu lucid with compiz and emerald. I installed them system wide by running
Code: sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme This means that they are displayed eveywhere. However, there appear to some bits missing from the cursor set. Specifically, the window resize icons and the drag and drop (move) icon. All other icons are displayed correctly. For the missing icons, it seems to fall back to the default ugly black x cursors. Has anybody else seen this, or have I installed these cursors incorrectly? Note I want to do this system wide so I have the same cursor even in my sudoed apps.
I'm trying to install new themes on ubuntu but it tells me that GTK + themes 'ubuntulooks'is not installed and won't load up the themes as it should. I went to package manager and installed it but still doesn't work. Themes to be installed, either overglossed or sickness-black. environment ubuntu 10.04.
I would like to install a new icon theme without effecting my currently selected panel theme, as i think the Ambience panel theme looks really nice and unified but im not too keen on the Ubuntu-Mono icons.Is this easily possible, without going into my icon folders and replacing all the instances of one style for another?Are there any applications for gnome icon theming like OS X's Candybar?Im sure others must desire to change only the icons and perhaps it is really easy and this is why i couldnt dig anythin up on google, that or im a useless googler.
Since of late "Appearance preference" behaves awkwardly . Normaly It is supposed to show themes in /usr/share/themes right? but now it shows themes only in ~/.themes folder. I don't know what affected the change. how do I configure it as to show themes in /usr/share/themes/,?
Also whatever theme I use , Controls would stay same(Classic controls). They wouldn't be update to those of the Theme used.
Today I installed KDE 4.6.3. (OpenSuse 11.4). With this version a modified oxygen icon set was installed. Some icons, e.g. folders, are looking very ugly. They are looking a little bit like Tango icons. This mixture of original oxygen icons and the "tango-oxgygen" ones looks very inconsistent. You can repair this by installing the KDE 4.6.0 oxygen icon set (oxygen-icon-theme, oxygen-icon-theme-scalable) coming with OpenSuse 11.4. Yast is showing some problems regarding KDE 4.6.3. you can ignore them.
I am using OpenOffice 3.2.1 and Opensuse 11.3 with KDE 4.4.4. When I use the KDE4 integration and the oxygen icon set, I'am getting a mixture of oxygen (KDE4) icons and crystal (KDE3) icons in the symbol panel (I hope this is the correct word in english). E.g. the icons for "bold", "italic" or underlined are crystal icons instead of oxygen. I had the same "problem" with Opensuee 11.2 and older OpenOffice versions.
Interestingly, when I start OpenOffice in my root account, OpenOffice shows all icons correctly as oxygen icons. When creating a new user account (a test account), OpenOffice use the icon mixture. Also transferring the ".oo3" folder of root to my user account didn't solve the "problem". Of course, this is not a real problem with OpenOffice, it's more a desing error (but I like to solve it ). Who else has a mixture of oxygen and crystal icons?
There's a quality issue here i'm sensing. WHen i zoom icons while in Dolphin, the icons are quite fuzzy. I think it's when it reaches say 128x128 i'll estimate.It's really strange because in Mint 9 KDE, oxygen icons show cleanly at max zoom :/ How can i fix this?
I like when my environment looks nice so I don't understand why is half of system dialogs using Plastique theme and half Oxygen. For example when I run KpackageKit manually, it has Oxygen theme, but when it appears automatically to perform some updates, it has Plastique theme. It's really ugly. Is it somehow possible to unify it?
I have KDE 4.6.3 installed, but I'm not using KDE as my desktop (just Openbox).
For some reason, KDE's "Oxygen" theme isn't available in qtconfig. Also, KDE apps seem to be following the selection in qtconfig, not the one in KDE's System Settings.
I rember that before, qtconfig let you choose Oxygen, and KDE apps followed the choice in KDE System Settings (even if you were not using KDE).
I installed Oxygen KDE in Firefox 4 but when I upgraded to Firefox 5 it was not compatible. The problem is that traces remain and I cannot get another theme to appear properly. I do notice that if I delete ~/.mozilla the problem is solved. However I have many addons installed and don't want to setup everything again. Also in ~/.mozilla/.../Firefox there is a folder named OxygenKDE and if I delete it, Firefox auto creates a new OxygenKDE folder on FF startup.
I just installed OpenSUSE 11.4 on a new system. Everything is plain-jane default KDE4, but there is a video problem. Driver? Hardware? KDE? Some menu's, most notable the right-click on the desktop, but also k-launcher and other programs have a transparent pinstripe background letting whatever is behind show through. This makes the menu unreadable. A couple screen shots of the problem in on this photo stream:
snapshot1 | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
It is really weird, and makes the system unusable, so I am surprised I can not find any prior references. If it is a driver problem, then surely I am not the first to encounter it. That makes me suspect hardware. (I know, it's never hardware...) If you look close at the photos. you can see that there are pinstripes that are OK, and in between it is transparent and the dark desktop is visible. This is only for first 6-8 items in drop down menu's, but menu bars sometimes have a pinstripe two tone effect where i think same thing is happening.
1. The disk checks out, MD5 verified, and reinstalled with same results.
2. I ran a memtest and memory checks out.
3. It is consistent, in that the same menu's have the problem in the same place for a few days now, but there are occasions when the menu is readable for an instant.
4. Not much to try in BIOS, but no effect from changing video memory size.
5. No other issues. Firefox menu's are fine, and firefox browsing is fine.
6. The system is an Intel i3-2100 with graphics on the CPU. Motherboard is an MSI-H67. Everything is new, recent manufacture (B3 stepping)
If I switch Open Gl mode from "texture from pixmap" to "shared memory" the whole display becomes unreadable, but I have no idea if that is expected or relevant. ++++++ OK, while writing this I found a workaround, but I still want to know what is happening. If I switch System settings -> Application appearance -> Style -> Application -> Widget Style from the default of "Oxygen" to any other option (CDE, Cleanlooks, Motif,...) the problem goes away. Oxygen has a slick look, but I can live without that, I still wonder if it is using a graphics feature that is not working on my hardware. Or maybe just a driver problem, but this is a very common graphics system.
I am trying to use a lock screen on 10.10. I heard you have to covert the .glade files into .ui using gtk-builder-convert. I have downloaded some lockscreens, but I don't see any .glade files ever. I just see .desktop files.
Is there a way to fix this. I know once a theme is applied it's suppose to take affect on everything. But, my folders (and the stuff that you see below, folders and icons etc..) stay the same no matter what theme I use
I want to theme my Ubuntu. I have heard that Emerald is good for this, but I just don't understand how to use it. There is a theme there already called "Beryl Red" (I assume it's a default), but there is no button to install or use it.
are there any themes for ubuntu 10.10 that look like the kde plasma air theme? i absolutely love its looks, but dont want to switch to kde/plasma... i like the seethrough windows, but cant seem to find a theme. are there any out there?
I have the beta version of 11.04 and have switched over to Gnome3 (as i don'y like Unity). Although, i have no idea how to get my required theme up. Appearance is no longer present.
But I am becoming very annoyed by the fact that I cannot customize/change my Login window in Ubuntu 11.04.
It's not soo much the fact that I can't get it to look the way I want.. But the fact that the options arent even available/ won't even work anymore.
(Brilliant idea whoever thought of removing it!)
I am not asking how to change the login screen background (wallpaper) I already know how to do that, and have it changed to what I want.
I need to do one of 2 things, (or both)
1. Change the login theme to something nicer. (like you used to be able to do with GDM2setup). ~The actual login window/box is what I want to change.
or
2. Change the current (plain, boxy, white) login window so that it is transparent.
I've seriously been looking around for at least a week on and off, and there is no solution for 11.04 users that I can find.
I keep seeing all over the place. "How to change Ubuntu 11.04 login screen/theme" etc, Yet all those sites are useless, as all they mention is "Ubuntu Tweak" to change the background and "ubuntu logo"..
As stated, I already know this , and how to do it.. So Ubuntu tweak is not what I need here.
How freaking difficult does it have to be to customize something soo simple? I thought this was LINUX. You know, where you can customize all of your stuff, the way you want it? Not have to be stuck with things the way the developers thought it "should be".
There is this "new app" called SLiM" that can supposedly do this, But it breaks everyones system on 11.04, So that idea is shot.
This is the site where I went to find a theme [URL] And this is the one I'd like to install [URL] but I can't get it to work, can some one help me on this one,... Plus I'm pretty sure theres more people out there like me. So this would be very nice if some one tells us "how to". I like pidgin better, but empathy it's the default in ubuntu, and It comes with better integration with Gnome.
