I want to install a new splash screen:
Kmenu>system settings>General>appearence>splash screen>get new themes (phew, found it) and click install on one I like. It downloads and installs and there is a red cross in the unistall check box where the green tick was before. How do I install it? What is it called and where does it go after it has downloaded? It does not appear in the Manager for Splash Screen Themes. I was looking in my home folder under downloads. But nada..
kde 4.3.4 from the update instlaled from what was available for update (the bit in blue brackets in Yast>right click>install if newer version available) from the the KDE43 repo today.
I feel like Kerninghan and DMR trying to find out where the output of hello world went.
Try $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/ksplash/Themes/. The problem with kde-look.org and KNewStuff is that there is no validation of the up- or downloaded content. So "SCi FI 17" when installed drops a file sharelinkdownloader.php in that dir, which is not a valid theme tarball, but nothing happens in the Splash Screen config module. The theme 'Mandriva Space' works, though.
