Listmates, Bespin Styles (as opposed to Bespin Window Decorations) can render excellent looking window attributes for the kde4 desktop, but getting to the right setup can be somewhat trial-and-error due to the hinting bespin draws from the underlying color scheme. My first few attempts, I just punted and went back to Nitrogen or Ozone or Emerald. However, when I had a bit of time I went back and mounted an assault against bespin one again. After a bit of hand-to-hand combat, a small victory or sorts was won. The color choice is limited to ~6 colors drawn from the underlying theme and is obviously important. (you can turn off hinting but it's not recommended for starting out) Through the fight, the setting that were the most sensitive to the ultimate look were: Windows -> UNO -> draw combined head on main window Windows -> Modal Dialogs -> Invert Colors Windows -> Modal Dialogs -> Opacity (set greater than 85%, preferred 96%) Views -> Alternate Rows -> Level (set 50% or greater) In addition the 'Position Indicators' slide bar that sets the appearance of the scroll bar makes a huge difference in how your scroll bar and resulting decoration will look. The outcome however is worth the effort. I have a screenshot of bespin over a darkblue desktop here: (141k) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/kde4/decor/bespin/bespinBlue.jpg (I reduced the jpg to 70%, so some of the colors and details are a bit fuzzy) I have also put the bespin config files in the same location so you can just copy them the ~/.config/Bespin if you want to see what bespin looks like without having to go through all the configuration. The links are here: (11k total) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/kde4/decor/bespin/Store.conf http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/kde4/decor/bespin/Style.conf ** Note the config location has a capital 'B' in: ~/.config/Bespin Just put both Store.conf and Style.conf in that directory. If anybody else has bespin tips, I would enjoy reading theme :-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
