KDE 3.x Oxygen theme?

[thedevilsjester]

Ok let me start off by saying I am a KDE fanboy to the core, however KDE4 in its current state is unusable (to me) for anything other then a technology preview, however I really like the new oxygen theme and wanted to know if there is a port of this to 3.x KDE until KDE4 has matured a bit more?

Re: KDE 3.x Oxygen theme?

I personally haven't really checked. Have you looked here http://www.kde-look.org/?

Re: KDE 3.x Oxygen theme?

Yes I looked there before posting, did a search for oxygen and didnt find any KDE4 like theme.

I was hoping that by now we would have a KDE3 backport of the oxygen theme.

Re: KDE 3.x Oxygen theme?

While looking through there I saw a note to one of the icon themes available. The icon theme creator said that reposting the Oxygen Theme was "against their wishes" (their being the Oxygen creators??). I don't know how true that is though. I really haven't seen any site that the Oxygen creators have to be able to say.

Re: KDE 3.x Oxygen theme?

There is this:

my oxygen theme
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show...?content=68548

Description:
This theme is based on KDE4 Oxygen style with some mine modifications.
Package include:
-domino configuration
-theme-manager-theme
-emerald theme
-wallpaper

Installing:
Alt + F2 : kcontrol > Appearance & Themes > Theme Manager...

Tip:
Save your current theme first: Create New Theme

Note:
Installation puts theme in the ~/.kde/share/apps/kthememanager/themes/oxygen-theme/oxygen-theme/
it should be in ~/.kde/share/apps/kthememanager/themes/
=> grab everything:

oxygen, oxygen_1, oxygen.emerald, oxygen.kcsrc, oxygen.kth, oxygen-theme

and move them in the ~/.kde/share/apps/kthememanager/themes/


About Oxygen icons in the KDE 3

If you have KDE 4:
Go to /usr/lib/kde4/share/icons/
copy oxygen folder to the home folder
right click oxygen folder -> Actions: Compress here -> oxygen.tar.gz

K > System Settings -> Appearance ->Icons -> Install New Theme, drop oxygen.tar.gz in the line, OK
Choose Oxygen, Apply (your oxygen icon theme is in the ~/.kde/share/icons/)

If you don't have KDE4:
Install kde-icons-oxygen from repositories.
Go to /usr/lib/kde4/share/icons/...


KDE 4 vs KDE 3
There are small differences:

actions about-kde vs about_kde
actions application-exit vs exit
actions arrow-down vs 1downarrow
actions arrow-down-double vs 2downarrow
actions arrow-left vs 1leftarrow
actions arrow-left-double vs 2leftarrow
actions arrow-right vs 1rightarrow
...

Fixing icon names:

Go to the Fixed Oxygen Icon Theme Script
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show...?content=61556

or

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kd...ns-oxygen-svn/

and get

ICONSLIST (text file)
rename-icons.py

Run python script in the home folder, it will fix (some of them) icon names.

Thanks!!

Re: KDE 3.x Oxygen theme?

Thank you! I wonder why this didnt show up on my kde-look search?

While looking through there I saw a note to one of the icon themes available. The icon theme creator said that reposting the Oxygen Theme was "against their wishes" (their being the Oxygen creators??). I don't know how true that is though. I really haven't seen any site that the Oxygen creators have to be able to say.

If you dont want your project to be used in other projects do not release it under a license that allows such usage.

Re: KDE 3.x Oxygen theme?

I like the Icon Theme. Using it now! Downloaded the Domino Theme as well. I'll look at that when I get time. Thanks!

Re: KDE 3.x Oxygen theme?

I wasn't thrilled with Domino, but those icons are great. Thanks! I've been looking for a good icon set but never found one that I liked.
