He guys and gals,

took me about 1,5 a month to port the kde style kermamik to windows xp. (I hadn't much time, and much school)

Well here it is,

a big thanks goes out to malte from kde.org who is the original developer of this great style.

It comes with 2 startmenu, the default looks most like the orginal kde menu.

well enjoy this style, and please report bugs.

Very nice indeed, goes great with the KDE Crystal icons. Not a big Linux fan (more of a BSD person myself), but I've always liked this one. Keep up the good work!

rolleyes.gif One in every crowd. Even unasked. I liked the theme, good job DJP. Making something for others to enjoy is pretty much what this site's about.

Nice. Finally! Good to see skins back!



Just as a note, for some reason, I don't like the penguin there, so I removed it. smile.gif



and btw, is a shell coming along?
Marvilla
I like it a lot! DJP biggrin.gif

Especially after the top toolbar fix...was running it prior to this update and had that 'gap' in the start menu but it's all better now wink.gif
M.Star

Ahh cool smile.gif checked everything but that, very cool.

I like blue a bit better, but the top part seems 'cut off' maybe add space for the profile picture?
DJP
i wanted to make it really kde like and that's without a userpic/name, but i could add some small bar so you can see your username.

atomb
sorry m8, i've been busy getting my system back up. i had to format and reinstall a few days ago. haven't had a chance to work on it. i'll be working on it for the next few days.
Marduk
Hey man amazing vs it's incredible. How about a few different colours? Red, green,black,grey,orange,brown?? Great job anyway man keep up the kick ass work! biggrin.gif
Shadrack
I really like this theme but the the white buble on the top of the windows that holds the text is HUGE and the text it not centered on it.

Maybe this is just how it is in KDE as well. But if it were up to me I would change it.



Good work though.

For a shell32.dll just use the KDE Crystal one that is going around the board. I love this theme....looks great man. Now I need matching skins and everything.



Also, could you make another variation of theme with a flat titlebar? As in no other shapes like it has now? That would so sweet...I'd like it even more then biggrin.gif. If not that's alright.
Mark Otto
I've noticed a few bugs...mostly in the title bar. When the window is too small, it has a black line across it. Also, the inactive titlebar has a black piece around the right side of the beveled part.
DJP
Yeah i know about that bug. It's unfortenately a msstyles transparancy bug, really the msstyles engine has lot's off these transparancy bugs.

The only way to fix it, is to put the blue bubble inside the captionbar, it's now a bit bigger then the rest of the captionbar.

Maybe i'll make a version were you can choose, just like real KDE.

Ladies and gentlemen, here's keramik 2.0

I've added much things,
changed buttons, they look brighter now. Helpbutton is also fixed.



Old programbar is replaced by new glassy looking one.
Added mouseovers, to make the style more alive. (You were right about this Aquajack) smile.gif
Added username support.
The problem with the small blacklines around the captionbar are for 90% fixed now.

Added Emerald colorscheme.
Added Shellstyle.dll made by Oldecrow. Big thanks goes out to him.
And much more little bugs are corrected/changed.

It will be online in a few days.

this is the best visualstyle I've used so far. maybe it's because I love KDE so much, or maybe it's because of the wonderful job done on this theme.

either way, great job.
