A pack of 220 KD3 color schemes I made over a year and a half ago. After all this time they are still at the top position among the most rated at kde-look.org with over 20.000 downloads, something that makes me really proud. I'm not sure what kind of reception are they going to get here but I decided to upload them anyway. Please if you download, thanks!. Original description follows:
Ultra Series - 220 Color schemes pack (v3.2)
This pack includes mostly non-generic schemes, fully compatible with Domino but also usable with Glow, Powder and Serenity.
Installation. Extract the content of the tarball to $home/.kde/share/apps/kdisplay/color-schemes.
Usability:
* Fonts. Besides the window decoration, the overall look depends mostly on the font combination you use, thus load some programs and try them out first. Alt+F2 -> colors. Select scheme, press Alt+A to try them.
* Backgrounds. Non-white background schemes. Each scheme displays a 3-column icon. The middle column represents the background color. Some applications, most noticeable Konqueror and OpenOffice, use this color for documents and webpages. If this is not the desired effect, this is how to fix it:
OpenOffice -> Options -> Appearance -> Document background. Konqueror-> Configure -> CSS -> Use accessibility style-sheet -> Black on white.
* Button colors. These schemes are meant to be used primarily with a dark button/light text combination, Glow inherits this color by default, the same effect can be achieved by customizing Domino. As always, it all depends on what you like.
* Konqueror troubleshooting. Konqueror doesn't always display colors the way it should. An easy way to avoid complications is to use a background image instead of a color. I was careful with the integration between background colors and alternative background colors, (this is noticeable when you use programs with list-view modes: Amarok, Gwenview, Dolphin, Kget, etc.) nevertheless this is a limitation imposed by Konqueror and probably the main reason why some users tend to avoid darker schemes.
* Gamma correction. I use my monitor with a default 6500K/2.0 gamma setting, some non-calibrated monitors might require a slight adjustment in order to display properly the darker schemes.
Changelog: 2008.03.28. Final update, 63 schemes were retouched. 2008.01.30. I added to the pack 135 color schemes, rewrote and expanded the description. 2008.01.24. 82 color schemes added, total of 85 plus the original scheme. Created pack, rewrote and expanded description, added new screenshots.
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
