After hacking away all day today (well, when I had time, anyway), I have it working... well... flawlessly by my testing! I think mostly all that's left is to flesh out theme-db.xml and then we can move pretty much any theme GNOME <-> KDE, and I'm working on adding GTK as well (since it corresponds to KDE's actions folder/context). Anyway, to try it out update your cvs checkout and look at themeconvert.py (you might need to change the values, right now it's hard coded for testing, but I wanted to show you it as soon as possible). I've successfully converted the GNOME Lila theme to the 'standard' theme spec (which means nothing at the moment, but hopefully soon will), and from that generated standard theme I've been able to regenerate the GNOME theme!
Let me know of any problems you find!
EDIT: Also tell any of those people to drop by #svg-icons on irc.freenode.net if they are interested! |
Brilliant I'll check it out tomorrow, if I have time.
Oh, and the Lila icons are now going to be used as default in Konstruktor Pro:

Dear Tom,
My name is Dmitri Popov, and I run a small company based in Denmark,
which develops solutions for small businesses. My main project is
Konstruktor Pro - a business management solution for freelancers and
small businesses (http://www.application.dk), which I'm planning to
release under GPL. I've just found your beautiful Lila icon set at
KDE-Look.org, and I wonder whether I can get your permission to use them
in the Konstruktor Pro's GUI.
Best regards,
Dmitri Popov |

Very cool about Konstrukto Pro!
I updated the themeconvert stuff again, and posted a mail to the xdg list. I'm going to be gone this weekend, but I will try to check my mail once or twice while I'm gone. I really hope this gets some support from freedesktop; I'd really love to talk to some of these people to throw around some ideas. If we don't get the seperate mailing list I hope we can get everyone together on IRC or something...
Anyway, if I don't reply on the forums or by email for a few days, you know why _________________ Lila themes | The Porthole Portage Frontend | SVG-Utils |

edit /etc/conf.d/bootsplash and point bootsplash_theme to default
recompile initrd with the new boot splash.

i tried to do a lila bootsplash based on the 'wave.svg' image found in lila-backgrounds, but bootsplash doesn't like the jpg's i created.

lila-artwork-0.3.2-r1 //obsolete
nothing great, just two little changes:
i) changed the backgrounds directory to /usr/share/wallpapers/Lila
ii) ebuild now prints out the location where it installed/copied to the lila-backgrounds and grub splashimage _________________ Out of silence, a story. Out of chaos, order. Out of nothingness, love...

This link should hopefully work:
click here
The bootsplash theme uses a modified gnome splash and wave image for silent and verbose mode at this time it is only in 1024x768 but i have the other images done for 800x600 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 and am working on the config files for the new resolutions i should have that done in a couple days.
p.s. the new images should look better than these i used inkscape to reproduce the orignal images instead of using gimp to touch them up:-) if you have any problems downloading msg me at chad_c_@hotmail.com and i'll email it to you and maybe you can find a better storage solution than me... |

Comments on xfce part of lila-artwork-0.3.2-r1 ebuild.
The ebuild contains this:
Code: | if [ `use xfce` ] ; then
dodir /usr/share/xfwm4/themes
cp -R ${WORKDIR}/Lila-xfce/* ${D}/usr/share/xfwm4/themes
cp -R ${WORKDIR}/Lila-xfce-light/* ${D}/usr/share/xfwm4/themes
cp -R ${WORKDIR}/Lila-xfce4-panel/* ${D}/usr/share/xfce4/themes
chmod -R 755 ${D}/usr/share/xfce4/themes
dodir /usr/share/xffm/pixmaps
cp -R ${WORKDIR}/Lila-xffm/* ${D}/usr/share/xffm/pixmaps
chmod -R 755 ${D}/usr/share/xffm/pixmaps
fi |
The cp statements above are incorrect, the files should not be copied into themes and pixmaps directories direclty they should go into subdirectories.
So, the copy statements should look like this
Code: |
cp -R ${WORKDIR}/Lila-xfce/* ${D}/usr/share/xfwm4/themes/Lila
cp -R ${WORKDIR}/Lila-xfce-light/* ${D}/usr/share/xfwm4/themes/Lila-light
cp -R ${WORKDIR}/Lila-xfce4-panel/* ${D}/usr/share/xfce4/themes/Lila
cp -R ${WORKDIR}/Lila-xffm/* ${D}/usr/share/xffm/pixmaps/Lila
|
Of course subdirectories have to be created first.
Also, the copy of the xfce-panel stuff for some reason fails (with or without my modifications):
Code: | cp: `/var/tmp/portage/lila-artwork-0.3.2-r1/image//usr/share/xfce4/themes': specified destination directory does not exist
Try `cp --help' for more information.
chmod: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/lila-artwork-0.3.2-r1/image//usr/share/xfce4/themes': No such file or directory |
I really do not know why this happens.
So, scaba or anybody else please update the ebuild accordingly (fixing this ebuild is currently beyond my ebuild knowledge).
Thanks |

turns out i'm an idiot :/
i checked out the corresponding readme files where it says: "extract the archive to..."
and copied that path. i've forgotten that the files were located in separate directories inside the archives. sorry about that.
so here is lila-artwork-0.3.2-r2 //obsolete
changelog:
fixed the xfce4 paths according to mhodak's post (thanks!) and 9-speed's readme files which i was too stupid to read. _________________ Out of silence, a story. Out of chaos, order. Out of nothingness, love...

I've created a Lila theme for Openbox 3.x. Please try it out if you use Openbox, and suggest improvements if you deem it necessary. You can download Lila for Openbox here.
If you decide to add it to the ebuild, you can put it in /usr/share/themes/Lila; it'll fit alongside the GTK themes.
Also, I've made a screenshot of Lila for Openbox in action. The wallpaper I used might be NSFW, but you can view it here. |

@Stormy Eyes: cool Do you think you could put all the themes into a Lila-openbox-0.1 tarball, then we can add it to the wiki, and we need to add all the newer themes into the ebuild anyway _________________ Lila themes | The Porthole Portage Frontend | SVG-Utils |

No problem. I'll do it tonight after I hack up a Lila version of the Kong theme for Openbox. |

Haven't seen one yet. Why not step up to the plate and do it yourself, like I did with Openbox? |

- Screenshot - One
- Version - 1.0
- NOTES - Modified white Lila Stock Icons
- Name - Quasi -- Download

NOTE - In both Kuala themes there is a gradient, in order for that gradient to work you need the lastest version of the Smooth Engine, which is at this time only available in Gnome-Themes-Extras v0.7...

Sorry, been away for a while. It was nice to come back to a flurry of activity, though.
Added systemx's GTK2 themes and Stormy Eyes' Openbox themes to the wiki as well as the pekwm request.
Questions:
Are systemx's GTK2 themes going to be merged into the Gnome tarball and/or the lila-artwork ebuild?
What direction are we thinking of going in with all these various themes in the ebuild? Should we be using USE variables or should we be splitting this up into seperate ebuilds? Or a combination of the two (which then begs the question, "What goes where?"). I think we're reaching a critical mass point where we need to start figuring this issue out, especially if we're ever considering inclusion in portage.
@Stormy Eyes: let me know the URL for the Lila-openbox-0.1 tarball so I can update the wiki, or feel free to change it yourself.
Nice to see so much happening art-wise and also backend wise. This project's really treading new ground with regards to interoperability and consitency on the desktop and it's pushing on further than corporate efforts such as Bluecurve and Industrial. Lila's hitting new issues and paving the way for others (both community and corporate) to be able to follow its lead more easily. And we look good doing it . |

hi folks,
i've been trying to do a new ebuild which includes a bootsplash theme, a new gdm theme and updated backgrounds. everything in purple and green, beautifully crafted by Snooper. also added another grub splashimage and some small documentation.
unfortunately, i'm having trouble getting the ebuild to install bootsplash. i'd like it to download & install the themes if it detects media-gfx/bootsplash on the system.
if someone can fix it, here's the ebuild: lila-artwork-0.3.3pre //obsolete _________________ Out of silence, a story. Out of chaos, order. Out of nothingness, love...

thanks. it's better now, but still not working properly.
i have to use
Code: | # USE="bootsplash" emerge lila-artwork |
to get bootsplash installed. but at least it gets installed.
fixed a typo or two and repackaged 'Lila-grub' as it didn't work --> lila-artwork-0.3.3_pre2 //obsolete
should be usable now, at least to some extend
EDIT: fixed some more typos... IUSE="bootsplash" fixed as well. bootsplash should be alright now. thanks to thebell.
repackaged Lila-gdm... 2 out of 3 themes working... _________________ Out of silence, a story. Out of chaos, order. Out of nothingness, love...

That's odd. I removed every reference to `use bootsplash`, so I can't see how that flag is affecting it. However, I forgot to remove bootsplash from IUSE, so you probably ought to do that too. |

Well, there isn't a v0.1 tarball available, but how would you like a v0.3 containing four themes? If you want it, it's available at http://www.starbreaker.net/download/lila-openbox-0.3.tar.gz
The available Lila-type themes are Industrial, Merry, Ebox, and Kong. |

Scaba, there is an error in the 0.3.2-r2 and 0.3.3pre2 ebuilds (I only tested those two)
On line 86, ${WORKDIR}/lilasvg should be ${WORKDIR}/lila-purple (edit)
Edit: ok, as of 7.1 he seperated the pngs out from the regular tarball. you should use lilasvg-purple-0.7.1.tar.bz2
Thanks for working on the ebuild... |

+fixed the kde icon thingy. ebuild now downloads the purple and blue png's instead of the svg's. thanks to IamtheOne for pointing this out.
+added Stormy Eyes' openbox themes. please test it to see if it works.
+updated the documentation _________________ Out of silence, a story. Out of chaos, order. Out of nothingness, love...
