Description: ---------------- Please edit the theme.rc if you do not have accelerated OpenGL!!! replace "UseOpenGL = true" with "UseOpenGL = false" in that case, to get better frame rates.
==================================== Am a little bored right now, so I'd appeciate it if you gave me some suggestions for improvements...Thanks =====================================
Hi guys, this is my first thing I'm doing at KDE-Look.org.
Well, I got sick of the boring splash screens that come with KDE, so I designed a new one. The "Brilliant" Splash Screen. It features such cool gimmicks like alpha transparency, nuvola icons and other stuff (look at the screenshots).
Unfortunately I got to a point where I wanted to do some fancy stuff that was not supported by KSplash, so I had to write a new Theme plugin for KSplash. It is called "Flexible Theme". You've got to install both. The plugin as well as the theme. From v0.3 on the plugin features abso'freakin'lutely spiffy animated alpha blends and fadeaway to your desktop. See yourself...
The Thread for the plugin is located at http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=20623Last changelog:
v0.9.4: fixed a bug, thanks to geminiguy.
v0.9.3: ---updated to ensure compatibility with newly released plugin version 0.3. The new plugin features a smooth blendaway to the your wallpaper...
v0.9.1: ---updated to ensure compatibility with new plugin version released. The new plugin features knifty animated alpha blends. ---finally all the necessary theme files are actually in the package ;-| ---Automatically fading away after 7th icon shown.
It really is Brilliant!! Nice work
PS I fixed the theme.rc and am sending it to you to upload as an update here
The options you included right in the theme.rc will be of great help to others... this is where people like Moodinwrad slipped.... noone has used such options because they don't know where, how, why, etc...
This clears a lot of that stuff up nicely
can't find that line to turn "false" in theme.rc.
i believed to have an openGL card, an Nvidia fx 5200, isn't it? everything else goes grat (included transparency)... but in the theme preview i can see only a blue square with some text going on....

Man - you are a total genius! This is an awesome splash screen. I love totally unnecessary eye-candy :-)
What a great plugin.
Congratulations, i just love it, i can not stop playing with it and creating new ksplash screens.
This splashscreen is awsome. I've never used anything like it. Good work.
In your Theme.rc you put BackgroundImage = background.png but background.png is missing from the archive...
sorry bout that... fix is coming this evening.
missing file was fixed
