    Glassified Theme

    How the heck do you make the folder backrounds GLASS as well?! I see lots of pictures with transparent folder views, but how do you apply that?!?!?!?!

      The closest I can get to having 'glassified' folder views is installing emerald+compiz and changing the Opacity settings. It's 'Kind of' what I need, but not quite. Something just like this picture, http://kde-look.org/content/preview....3=&name=Glasim

        look in
        system setting-> workspace apperance -> desktop theme, try a different widget set.
        use "get new themes" to install new widget themes.

        if that one is the one you want why not install it and use it?

          Oh I see what you meant. I did indeed install 'Glasim,' and messed around with the widget sets, but still haven't figured out a way to make the glass theme apply to folder backrounds. How do people do this? Must be a nationwide secret or im just an idiot haha.

              I can make the folder views transparent and I believe the 'home folder' is usually glassy by default. Now that i think about what i want, i'm not even sure if its possible on second thought.....

                I'm going to preface this comment with the following statement: I really don't KNOW anything. I'm just more or less, guessing. But, looking through kde-look, I see a variety of theme sets that are qt themes, and some that have qt, AND plasma components. That makes me wonder, perhaps the invisible folder backgrounds you're looking for come under qt's dominion, and you need a qt theme to change them? You might give it a shot, if you're interested in tinkering.

                        If you are using the single day weather widget, you can turn off the LCD backround to make the "Glass" themes look much better with the widget on you're desktop. Turn it on and off by: Mouse over widget>Settings>Appearance>"Show LCD Backround

                              Thanks, Vin - I couldn't find "Slimglass" but installed the other two (and a couple more). Looks great now!
