qtcurve-gtk2-0.69.2-1mdv2010.0.i586.rpm

Installation
------------
To build and install:

1. mkdir build
2. cd build
3. cmake ..
4. make
5. make install

The following options may be supplied to cmake:

    -DQTC_OLD_MOZILLA=true
        When Firefox is being themed - treat it as if it is < 3.0
        Thunderbird is *always* treated as being of an old Mozilla style.

    -DQTC_MODIFY_MOZILLA=true
        Modify userChrome.css
            - setting KDE button order
            - shrink size of toolbars
        Edit user.js
            - disable instant apply
        Note: This sometimes causes issues with newer versions of these
              applications. Should such issues occur, you should recompile
              QtCurve without this option - and you will have to remove BY HAND
              the changes that QtCurve has made. This will entail removing lines
              from userChrom.css that indicate 'Added by QtCurve' userChrome.css
              is usually in a folder such as:
                    ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxx.default/chrome/userChrome.css
                    ~/.thunderbird/xxxxxxx.default/chrome/userChrome.css
              Where xxxxxxx is a series of random characters.

    -DQTC_REORDER_GTK_DIALOG_BUTTONS=true
       When set QtCurve will try to manually re-order the buttons of Gtk
       dialogs. Note: This will cause errors to be printed to the console,
       and is only an experiment!

    -DQTC_DEFAULT_TO_KDE3=true
       If the KDE_SESSION_VERSION is not set, then assume we are running
       under KDE3. If this cmake option is not set, then KDE4 is assumed.

    -DQTC_USE_CAIRO_FOR_ARROWS=true
       Use Cairo, and not Gdk, to draw the non-antialised arrows. It has been reported
       that for intel Xorg drivers >2.8, that drawing these non-antialised arrows with
       cairo results in nothing being drawn! As of 0.69.0, the default is to use Gdk

Themes
------
As of v0.55, you can create QtCurve based themes. These will appear with KDE's style
control panel's combobox of styles. To create a new theme, select 'QtCurve' from
within KDE's style panel, then configure QtCurve as required. After this, in QtCurve's
config dialog, select 'Export theme' from the options menu button. You will then be
prompted to give your new 'theme' a name, and a comment. QtCurve will then create a file
named 'qtc_<name>.themerc (e.g. qtc_klearlooks.themerc) - this will have the following
format:

    [Misc]
    Name=Klearlooks
    Comment=Clearlooks inspired style
    [KDE]
    WidgetStyle=qtc_klearlooks
    [Settings]
    animatedProgress=false
    appearance=gradient
    ....rest of qtcurve settings...

To use this theme, either copy qtc_<name>.themerc to
$KDEHOME/share/apps/kstyle/themes/ (usually ~/.kde/share/apps/kstyle/themes/)
or copy to <kde install prefix>/share/apps/kstyle/themes/ (usually
/usr/share/apps/kstyle/themes/)

When KDE's style panel is restarted, your new theme should appear in the list.


Creating Distribution Packages
------------------------------

CMake (as of v2.4.x) does not support building rpm or deb packages, and a simple
checkinstall will not work. CMake 2.6 should support rpm and deb packages, but until
then I have supplied a simple shell script to build a package with checkinstall.
To use this:

1. Install QtCurve as described above
2. From within the 'build' folder from step 2 above, call ../common/mkpkg
3. Answer the checkinstall questions.


pixmaps.h
---------

To regenerate this, run the following:

    gdk-pixbuf-csource --raw --name radio_frame radio_frame.png > pixmaps.h
    gdk-pixbuf-csource --raw --name radio_inner radio_inner.png >> pixmaps.h
    gdk-pixbuf-csource --raw --name radio_light radio_light.png >> pixmaps.h
    gdk-pixbuf-csource --raw --name radio_on radio_on.png >> pixmaps.h
    gdk-pixbuf-csource --raw --name check_on check_on.png >> pixmaps.h
    gdk-pixbuf-csource --raw --name slider slider.png >> pixmaps.h
    gdk-pixbuf-csource --raw --name slider_light slider_light.png >> pixmaps.h
    gdk-pixbuf-csource --raw --name check_x_on check_x_on.png >> pixmaps.h
