Hi All!
Sorry, here comes the correct URL ... I just finised uploading the latest version of "darkness".
Biggest changes:
- TDE 14.2.0-DEVELOPMENT - Xlibre 25.0.0 - new background images - kernel 7.0.3 - own repository for darkness-specific packages (ATM a package for the repo and the wallpapers)
Notes:
- Persistent partition at 3GB when booting the ISO from a USB stick: As long as any future ISO written to the stick is smaller than 3GB the data on the partition is unaffected. - Virtualbox/VMware guest graphics: mesa has deprecated gallium-xa. When you run inside an affected guest then xserver-xlibre-video-vmware is automatically downgraded to 13.4.0.1-2 - Laguage: TDE language packs of unused languages are removed when booting from iso, so that translations of missing texts come from english and not from any other language pack - deactivate 3D acceleration on Lenovo X61 / Intel GM965/GL960

Looks really good,
Have you considered trying it with OxygenRefit-black-version1 icons? (the original set for kde3?)
kate example: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/bd2be77afa41

Hi David!
Thank you :)
By chance, do you have a link to the iconset? I found this one, but it looks like a different version: https://store.kde.org/p/1002530/

Private Reply Nik,
I do on my server, but the openSUSE paste doesn't like the 38MB upload, so I'm sending you the link. If you have any problem accessing the file, send me your IP -- that means my firewall has blocked the NETBLOCK with your IP in it. Bad guys have been on a rampage lately.

All of my dark theme stuff is in:
https://www.3111skyline.com/dl/kde3/
and you can browse the old text (turned into html so it would serve) file describing the modifications:

The icons were originally from kde-look.org back in the heyday of things :)

Looks like the firewall does not like me :)

Could you please give me access?

You are whitelisted now,
Let me know if you have any additional problems. Feel free to grab whatever you want of the dark themes and you can host them wherever you like.
I must have had trouble from another of the Austria addresses in the 78.142.96.0/20 netblock. Shame, I really don't like blocking any European countries, aside from Russia and the ....stan countries :)

Thank you very much! I've made a copy of the kde3 folder. Let's see if I manage to create package from the iconset and include it in the iso :)
