After neglecting it for a little bit to work on Tasty Menu (my poor brain still has some difficulties to do multitasking :D), today I’ve released Polyester 1.0Beta1, with some bugfixes as well as some cosmetic changes celebrating the approaching of 1.0, that will be the last Qt3/Kde3 version. After that I will begin the painful journey to port it to qt4/kde4, that I hope will offer enough nice capabilities to implement some ideas that was still not feasible with qt3.
You can download it here.
Changelog for Polyester 1.0Beta1:
widget:
-Corrected a bug in the rendering of checked menubar items
-Added a cute animation to the default botton text that makes it always readable
-Rounded focus rectangle where it’s possible
-Corrected a bug that made displaying the menubar in Opera browser with incorrect colors
-Configuration option to disable the coloring of the sorted header in listviews
-Less dots in scrollbar slider
-More contrast in button borders
-Some changes under the hood that make some elements like headers, scrollbars and tabbars to look a little bit more clean
-Corrected a little bug in the animation of toolbar buttons
deco:
-Titlebar button icons have a sharper shape
-More smooth buttons animations
-Button animations styles “colorize” and “fade out” should work better regardless what the buttons color is.
Hi,
I would like to comment on the Gentoo ebuild you provide on the theme’s page at kde-apps org. Gentoo ebuilds must comply with certain file naming rules and polyester-1.0Beta1.ebuild does not comply. You have to rename it to polyester-1.0_beta1.ebuild and the source file accordingly (polyester-1.0_beta1.tar.gz – why don’t you provide a bz2 file to save bandwidth). Finally, after unpacking the source directory must be the same (polyester-1.0_beta1).
Thank you, keep up the good work!
ok, I will correct that
Hi,
I really like Polyester! – I would have one wish: If I am right in previous versions when “Shadowed Text” was enabled only the menus showed shadowed text – what I liked. With 1.0beta1 the buttons and tabs also have shadowed text (at least with KUbuntu Dapper and KDE 3.5.4 using the Ubuntu packages) – what I do not like. Could you please make this configurable separately?
Thanks!
Chris
Hi yesterday I discover this theme and i have seen a lot themes for KDE but this one is one of the best (my opinion) It’s clean and stable! (banghira is not 🙁 on my system) I hope KDE makes this the default theme.
