[Tile-dev] Keramik Theme

[Sebastien M. <seb...@un...>]

Hi !

I use aMSN application (Linux) and there is a plugin "chameleon" which 
"allows you to change aMSN look and feel using the Tile extension for 
Tk". I want to use the Keramik theme.
How can I do ? Download it through CVS repository ? Where should I put it ?


Thank you in advance for your answer !

For that, you should use Georgios Petasis' TileQT theme,
available as a separate download.  This uses the Qt library
to draw Ttk widgets, for a much tighter integration with
KDE than is possible with Tk alone.


The TileQT homepage seems to be down right now, but there are
links to relevant information here:

[ Pat -- there probably ought to be a pointer to TileQT on the
  main Tile page, could you add a link?  ]

Sure. The image based keramik and plastik themes are just packages. 
Copy the folder to any of the folders listed in the tcl auto_path
variable (in aMSN you can use Control-C to get a console window and
then enter set ::auto_path to see the value).

I'm uncertain how easy it is to build the TileQt extension - maybe we
can put a binary up for people to try out, or a second starkit.
