[arch-general] 2 Killer kde4 dark themes - DR you listening??
Guys, I stumbled into 2 cool looking dark kde4 themes while tweaking an existing theme so I thought I would pass them along for any others that like dark themes ... like DR. The themes are dark gradient themes: BlueGold color-theme: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/dt/kde4/color-schemes/DcrBlueGold.colors screenshot: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/ss/kde4/DcrBlueGold.jpg BlackGold color-theme: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/dt/kde4/color-schemes/DcrBlackGold.colors screenshot: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/ss/kde4/DcrBlackGold.jpg (note: the screenshots were from within E16) For the corresponding dark colors for all your kde4 editors (kwrite, kate, quanta), just add the following to your ~/.kde4/share/config/kateschemarc: [kate-kwrite-dark] Color Background=26,26,26 Color Highlighted Bracket=228,180,94 Color Highlighted Line=36,36,36 Color Icon Bar=113,113,112 Color Line Number=167,167,167 Color MarkType1=228,180,94 Color MarkType2=255,0,0 Color MarkType3=255,255,0 Color MarkType4=255,0,255 Color MarkType5=160,160,164 Color MarkType6=0,255,0 Color MarkType7=255,0,0 Color Selection=47,87,133 Color Tab Marker=115,115,115 Color Template Background=204,204,204 Color Template Editable Placeholder=204,255,204 Color Template Focused Editable Placeholder=102,255,102 Color Template Not Editable Placeholder=255,204,204 Color Word Wrap Marker=76,76,76 Font=DejaVu Sans Mono,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0 then in an editor, choose Settings - Configure Editor - Fonts Colors and then change the Schema: (at the top) and the Default schema for Kate/Kwrite: (at the bottom) and the editor window color will not complement the dark theme. Enjoy! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. Rankin Law Firm, PLLC 510 Ochiltree Street Nacogdoches, Texas 75961 Telephone: (936) 715-9333 Facsimile: (936) 715-9339 www.rankinlawfirm.com
Re: [arch-general] 2 Killer kde4 dark themes - DR you listening??
Hi, sorry for hijacking your thread but speaking of dark themes, I have been looking for ages for a nice reverse theme for gtk+ but every single one I remember wasn't perfect... Anyone 100% happy with a reverse theme? And most importantly, how the /heck/ do you handle the *bright* *white* pages of the web... I'd tried creating a custom CSS for me, but it broke too many pages... Thanks, Dimitris

I'd tried creating a custom CSS for me, but it broke too many pages... No problem, I'm interested in the answer as well. I have some killer gnome themes that I really like, but epiphany or firefox simply won't follow the desktop theme without rendering the controls unusable in many cases. I like you created custom chrome.css files by taking pages apart with the DOM inspector to set the input control color to use the theme color only to have it break on the next site. For some apps (like egroupware), a few simple customizations cure the problem and I do that for the 3 web apps I have, but ... that doesn't help the other billion or so potential pages on the net. As for a great reverse theme. I really like the following. Just create a directory for the theme under ~/.themes and make sure you have the needed gtk and metacity parts installed (there standard stuff): [Desktop Entry] Name=dcr+neon+sonar Type=X-GNOME-Metatheme Comment=after crash cleanup [X-GNOME-Metatheme] GtkTheme=QtCurve MetacityTheme=Sonar IconTheme=Neon GtkColorScheme=fg_color:#bd70bd70bd70,bg_color:#,text_color:#dc28dc28dc28,base_color:#1eb81eb81eb8,selected_fg_c olor:#,selected_bg_color:#414190b5e473,tooltip_fg_color:#d1ebd1ebd1eb,tooltip_bg_color:#3d703d703d70 CursorTheme=Vanilla-DMZ-AA CursorSize=24 NotificationTheme=bubble See if you like it. -- David C.

I use firefox, which just leaves the pages white. (And I purposely avoid browsers like Konqueror, Midori, Arora, etc. that stupidly (IMO) try to use my window theme colors inside the browser.) e.g., for an (old) screen shot: http://www.darose.net/DaroseDesktop.png Newer one (but with no browser displayed) at: http://www.darose.net/DaroseDesktop2009-11.png DR
