Anyone who asked QtCurve for Gtk3 should read related article: https://igurublog.wordpress.com/2012/11/05/gnome-et-al-rotting-in-threes/ It describes the current situation with Gtk3. Installation ------------ To build and install: 1. mkdir build 2. cd build 3. cmake .. 4. make 5. make install The following options may be supplied to cmake: -DQTC_OLD_MOZILLA=true When Firefox is being themed - treat it as if it is < 3.0 Thunderbird is *always* treated as being of an old Mozilla style. -DQTC_MODIFY_MOZILLA=true Modify userChrome.css - setting KDE button order - shrink size of toolbars Edit user.js - disable instant apply Note: This sometimes causes issues with newer versions of these applications. Should such issues occur, you should recompile QtCurve without this option - and you will have to remove BY HAND the changes that QtCurve has made. This will entail removing lines from userChrom.css that indicate 'Added by QtCurve' userChrome.css is usually in a folder such as: ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxx.default/chrome/userChrome.css ~/.thunderbird/xxxxxxx.default/chrome/userChrome.css Where xxxxxxx is a series of random characters. -DQTC_DEFAULT_TO_KDE3=true If the KDE_SESSION_VERSION is not set, then assume we are running under KDE3. If this cmake option is not set, then KDE4 is assumed. -DQTC_STYLE_SUPPORT=true Support QtCurve style files. These are stored as <kde prefix>/share/apps/kstyle/themes/qtc_<stylename>.themerc -DQTC_ENABLE_PARENTLESS_DIALOG_FIX_SUPPORT=true Enable support for the 'fixParentlessDialogs' config option. NOTE: This is known to break some applications - hence is disabled by default! Themes ------ As of v0.55, you can create QtCurve based themes. These will appear with KDE's style control panel's combobox of styles. To create a new theme, select 'QtCurve' from within KDE's style panel, then configure QtCurve as required. After this, in QtCurve's config dialog, select 'Export theme' from the options menu button. You will then be prompted to give your new 'theme' a name, and a comment. QtCurve will then create a file named 'qtc_<name>.themerc (e.g. qtc_klearlooks.themerc) - this will have the following format: [Misc] Name=Klearlooks Comment=Clearlooks inspired style [KDE] WidgetStyle=qtc_klearlooks [Settings] animatedProgress=false appearance=gradient ....rest of qtcurve settings... To use this theme, either copy qtc_<name>.themerc to $KDEHOME/share/apps/kstyle/themes/ (usually ~/.kde/share/apps/kstyle/themes/) or copy to <kde install prefix>/share/apps/kstyle/themes/ (usually /usr/share/apps/kstyle/themes/) When KDE's style panel is restarted, your new theme should appear in the list. NOTE: As of QtCurve 1.0.0 style support has been disabled by default, and you will need to explicitly enable it via QTC_STYLE_SUPPORT Testing ------- As of v1.2.1, QtCurve can be forced to read its settings from an alternate config file via the QTCURVE_CONFIG_FILE environment variable. This is only really useful for testing alternate config settings without changing the users current settings. Usage: QTCURVE_CONFIG_FILE=~/testfile gimp If 'QTCURVE_DEBUG' is set before an application is run, QtCurve will output the applications name and the current icon path. Creating Distribution Packages ------------------------------ CMake (as of v2.4.x) does not support building rpm or deb packages, and a simple checkinstall will not work. CMake 2.6 should support rpm and deb packages, but until then I have supplied a simple shell script to build a package with checkinstall. To use this: 1. Install QtCurve as described above 2. From within the 'build' folder from step 2 above, call ../common/mkpkg 3. Answer the checkinstall questions. pixmaps.h --------- To regenerate this, run the following: gdk-pixbuf-csource --raw --name check_on check_on.png >> pixmaps.h gdk-pixbuf-csource --raw --name check_x_on check_x_on.png >> pixmaps.h
