Help Theme Unity KDE 4

[Jeremiah Summers]

Do you run KDE 4 on Unity? Do you have nightmares about how it looks?

If either of these questions fit you or none of them and you just want to have some fun with theming than I have a simple script for you. I have created a script that extracts a majority of the theming elements for KDE 4 and compresses them. This script will copy Wallpapers, color schemes, plasma desktop themes, kdm themes, changes to dolphin, Konqueror etc.. I have created a rpm sepc file to package the resulting compressed file that's pretty generic so ALL KDE 4 based distributions can use it as a example, changing very little to repackage it. The only issue is I've ran out of creative juice :( and need your help!

So how does it work.

1. Create a new user on a system, doesn't matter if it's 64 or 32bit, fast or slow or named Beavis

2. Down load the attached script

3. Setup a new user (on any system running Unity/Synergy KDE 4) with the settings and themes you think would be great for Unity (or even Synergy). The only thing system wide you may want to play with would be the KDM theme.

4. (Check out and) Run the attach script as the new user account with your changes

5. Send me the branding.tar.xz in the /tmp folder on your system* let me know if there's any special changes I need too know about.

* Nothing other than theme and configuration files are copied, there's no personal data in any files copied, check the tar.xz before you send it.

I'll create a set of rpms (with your name or wanted name) too test and install and host them on the synergy mirrors for other too test as well. The theme I get the most positive feedback will become the KDE 4 theme for Unity.

Let the theming begin!

Here's a new version that won't error out for people with multiple screens, also looks for icon theme in kdeaccessibility and won't copy those over, but only the configuration file tat says to use it. I will add Emoticon support if you guys think we need it..
