Thank you Alexandre
 
Here is the link = http://baghira.sourceforge.net/ I don't know about the gk2,
but I use gtk-qt_engine and KGtK (wrapper that allows the use of the
open/save kdialog) they works fine. I'm including a screenshots of inkscape.
 
Yes they do run PCLOS just fine, but not with kde4. Usually it crashes. This
doesn't happen with kde3, tde, gnome3 and E17. I do notice that kde4 eats a
large amount of ram. Most of the machines have 2 gigs or more, the rest have
4 gigs or more. So it's not a ram problem.
 
Regardless I'd love to do a complete and clean install of a TDE based PCLOS
install. I document everything from beginning to end and then later use it to
create an install guide.
 
Thanks again
 
Kate

Kate, I tried to install the Mandriva rpm of the baghira theme on my the computer. Then, I moved all of the files where they should be. (In KPackage, I was able to see the list of the files and where they were uncompressed)
It doesn't work. Trinity is probably not binary compatible with KDE3 anymore, so the theme would have to be re-compiled from the source, something that I don't know how to do... Probably some persons here know ho to do it?

With the next releases of Trinity, we will probably see support for using GTK theme (as we see on the news page here) or for using QT4 themes. QT4 supports using GTK2 themes, so we might be able to use a GTK2 or GTK3 theme that looks like Baghira, but not for now. For the windows decoration (or borders), it would be probably easy to find an IceWM theme that looks like baghira. Trinity have a windows decoration theme engine that supports IceWM theme.


Regarding the installation of TDE, it isn't very hard. Just follow instructions provided by Francois Andriot to add his repo and to install TDE. After that, go in the PCLOS control center and in the boot tab, go in ''Set up display manager'' to change your display manager to TDE and after that, reboot your computer.

One thing, Francois Andriot did not specified the right text file for the repos lists. The repos lists in PCLOS is in:
/etc/apt/sources.list

This is the file where the url of his repos should go.
