And I can't install kwin-style-aurorae why? Is it because it has not yet been written for KDE 4.4? I notice that the developer, in the description on kde-look says:

Description:
This version is for KDE SC 4.3. If you use KDE SC 4.4 or later, please use the version of Aurorae shipped with KDE SC and do not install the version offered here!

Re: Aurorae Theme Engine - Can't install

I didn't install anything to start using it. I just went to System Settings --> Appearance --> Windows and in the Windows Decoration tab i choose from the fist pull down box Aurorae Decoration Theme Engine entry. I went back to Synaptic and it does show kwin-style-aurorae but it isn't installed and I'm still able to use the Aurorae engine.

Okay. I see it now. Thank you.

Installed the Tragedy Theme. Now I have a consistent look - Tragedy Plasma Theme and Tragedy Theme Windows Decorator. Nice.

Re: Aurorae Theme Engine - Can't install

I actually used Carbon. I have a Plasma Theme the Combines part of Carbon, part of Oxygen and Part OxyGlass. Aurorae engine just made all of that great!

Re: Aurorae Theme Engine - Can't install

Carbon was a Plasma Theme I looked at. Haven't loaded it to see what it would actually look like on my laptop. The Tragedy Theme is just SO nice. It really suites my tastes.

Took another look at the Carbon Plasma Theme on kde-look. If this were a Carbon-Black Plasma Theme, I might consider it. But, it isn't a dark theme - to greenish for my.
