[arch-general] Dark Red & Gold KDE4 Theme - brighten your desktop for a bit (DR - you might even like it :-)
Guys, I never thought red and gold would work on a kde4 desktop, but I think it looks great. While I figure out how to package them and where to put them, I could use some feedback on whether they need any more work. Below are links to the RedGold theme, a background to go with it, and an emerald theme as well. All three of the gold themes (BlackGold, DeepBlueGold, DarkRedGold), work best with either Nitrogen, Ozone or Oxygen 'window & style' decorations. Bespin works very well as a window decoration for all three, but the Bespin 'style' is very finicky with the Red for some reason. If you use a 'style' other than Ozone, Nitrogen, Oxygen or Bespin, your theme color will look black instead of Red or Blue due to how faint the colors are in the color definition. For the best results, 'uncheck' the option to blend the title bar with theme colors in the Appearance -> Window system settings. The charcoal titlebar works well into the theme. You can also use Crystal, Modern, Laptop or Glow window decorations and they will look pretty good as well.
