  1. I am trying to install the Linspire Clear theme onto Mandriva 2005 LE. The source can be found on a link on this page: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?c...ad&tan=97529096 I know the title says it's an RPM for suse, but there is a link to the source in the comments. However when I download it there is no ./configure file in the tar ball. So how and I suposed to install it? Has anyone got a Mandriva RPM for the Linspire Clear theme?

     

    Thanks for you help,

    Leo

     

    Since tyme is such a noob and couldn't figure it out ( =P ) for those that don't use rpm and can't find a package for their distro, you compile that source ( http://software.linspire.com/pool-src/los/...spire0.1.tar.gz ) using...

    make -f Makefile.cvs
    ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`
    make
    make install

  2. I don't use genkernel. Mainly because i aleady know exactly what i need to configure into my kernel and how to install it easily (even have a little script to do it for me), but also because the one time I used genkernel it took muuucchhh longer to build and install the kernel than it would manually plus it didn't even install right. Although to be fair, when I did try genkernel it was still very early in development, so I don't really know it is now.

  3. gDesklets do work in KDE actually, they'll work in just about any WM/DE. SuperKaramba is kinda of the same thing but for KDE, and it kinda only works for KDE too. (it'll run on with any DE/WM, but the transparency won't work)

    Here's a link for superkaramba. http://netdragon.sourceforge.net/ and you can get themes for it at http//kde-look.org

    But if you'd' rather try gDesklets, you can find the info you need at http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org

  4. Ok, those icons you have install by default, are the gnome Amarth icons (even though kcontrol puts them in the icon them list, which is pretty dumb imo). You'll need to find the icon set for KDE and install them yourself.
