After rebuilding Qt, rebuild kdelibs as well.


Thank you Serghei! I found out what happened. I left the kdelibs build running
on this box when I left last night and it finished building, but never got
installed :)

I'm building kdebase on this box now and will start trinity when kdebase
finishes. If there is any issue, I'll report back, but I suspect the problem
is solved :p


Installed kdelibs and built and installed kdebase. All the normal styles and decorations are back - things are working really well. Getting the CMake files done on the crystal windeco would make it drop-dead-gorgeous.

I would toss out the idea that we take a look at using the current background with crystal windeco and keramik style as the default. It would turn a lot of heads out of the box and really give TDE a much different default look than KDE (a much improved look -- in my opinion) I'll do the default crystal config once we get it building and put it out for review. I have it running on 3.5.12 and it really looks good.


Have you tried Knifty? It is actually quite more pleasant, except for some bugs though that can be "hidden" by the right defaults. Plastik fits nicely into the theme. See a screenshot, just need to add the maximize/minimize button to look like a regular desktop(a bit too Mac looking, I know...).

Crystal windeco is nice but it has a few problems with being fake transparency IMHO, especially as it would need some work to get it to have window title readable in all situations.

Best regards,
Tiago
