All rebuild with breezee and kde 3.4.3

Here it is:
http://g.natacha.free.fr

To install it just click on the theme or package and download it (in case it does not work right click => save under...)
then when in your directory or wherever it is right click on it then => kubuntu package menu =>install
a window will open just give your root password and it will be installed in your system

You will find the new package in the folder apearence /theme of kconfigure.
just enjoy it the new parameters of your kde.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An other way is to compile yourself (if you want to learn a bit

easy to turn out (a bit as a spy-job but it works)

1) create a folder
mkdir /home/your-name/xxxxx(in fact whatever you want)

2)add a repo:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
add this into it:
deb-src http://mirror.pusling.com/debian/unstable ./

3)open this mirror in your browser and you will see a numerous kwin and others "k"andies
they are all debian ready and so easely tranferable into kubuntu
http://mirror.pusling.com/debian/unstable

4)you need to install every thing to compile
build essential, kde and kdelib -dev, fakeroot, autoconf, automake, debhelper...

5)then in a console (install mc it's easier) go in your new created dir
and simply type:
sudo apt-get source -b "the package name you like -you have seen in mirror pulsing"
after 1 minute or 2 you will get in the root of your dir a brand new *.deb package you can install or manage the way you want it

easy and educating !

if you have troubles in the compile you will see the messages error willtell you witch package is missing, you will find it easely in synaptic (quite often it's some *-dev)

have fun and let me know if it's usable for you

thanks to pusling in kde-ook for his job!

even a little thank is welcome!!..

Thank you for putting this together. I've been looking for such a repository for a long while.

[shakin]

I will echo jvoegele's thank you. This is an excellent repository. IMO, the (k)Ubuntu community needs an art repository full of icons, kwin/metacity themes, etc. There are so many out there and it's nearly always a hassle to install them. I've found Kwin themes especially difficult and I always end up copying the compiled theme's files manually into the right directories.

If I can be usefull please ask
I "ll see if it is possible to compile some more as i am not a "champion" do not ask for too hard (lol)..

on aktual statistics
the most downloaded is color-schemes; and linspire.

First of all, thanks for these deb packages.
I installed styleclock but when I try to get the applet I receive the following error:

Styleclock needs OpenGL support, but your system doesn't support it.

Details:
QGLFormat::hasOpenGL() returned false, indication no OpenGL support for Qt

Of course I'm missing some package(s) but I can't figure out which one. Any idea?

Sorry I forgot to mention :
my card is a nvidia so I installed as well the gl - dev .
so i suppose it has used it for this one in particular ..
I hope it does not make a lot of diif if you install yours.
maiby as well the glu-mesa can help if you could be more specific with your hardware I can give you more info.
