I also have issues compiling this. I am getting a similar message when the system attempts to create /usr/lib/kwin.la - "No rule..." Forgive me for sounding like a newbie, which I really don't consider myself as I've been playing with Linux since 1995, but what causes such errors?

I like this very much, so I want to install on my Gentoo system. But compilation fails immediatly with this message: kwinacqua $ make make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/home/tommy/Documents/Downloads/kwinacqua' Making all in acqua make[2]: Entering directory `/home/tommy/Documents/Downloads/kwinacqua/acqua' Making all in config make[3]: Entering directory `/home/tommy/Documents/Downloads/kwinacqua/acqua/config' make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/kde/3.3/lib/kwin.la', needed by `libkwinacqual3m_config.la.closure'.

I like it very much... :-(

Very nice style, I'd love to use it, but I'm having some troubles: ./configure works without errors make compiles without errors make install (as su) works without errors and then? I cannot select the style. It just doesn't show up. Maybe it installs into the wrong directory (I'm running Mandrake 9.2)? Pleeeeeeaaaaaassse help!

Sorry for the delay, my old webserver died and it took some time to get a replacement.... anyway, now it's fixed, and the downloading can start again :) have fun!

Please fix the link. This looks like a very good win deco.

Looks good.. Link is broken though.

Hey person who made this theme! It looks really good, and I'd like to have it on my computer, but I can't seem to get it going. I think I've installed acquaosk, a theme that is basicilly the same as this one, but I couldn't get the OS X tool bar working. I'm using SuSE 8.2 Pro, and right now I've got a tool-bar on it that is called "Glow". It looks OK, and I'm happy with it, but I'd like to have the little bar across the top look like OS X. Anyway, I can ./configure it, make it, and make install it, and I get no errors, but I can't seem to "activate" it. On most "themes" like this in SuSE 8.2 Pro, you right-click on the tool-bar and go to "Configure Window Behavior", and it brings up the different types of tool-bars you can have. I can't find it there, and so I was wondering if you could help me get it on my system. Thanks! P.S. I've tried using Control Center on SuSE also, and couldn't get it there either.

It required me to install a newer version of autoconf (manually, as the debian package system didn't seem to have it). This really shouldn't be necesarry, the autoconf system is intended for use *before* distribution, and there shouldn't be parts requiring it in the distribution.

Hi. I'm running KDE 3.1 on FreeBSD 4.8. I installed this theme which looks really cool. I installed it as directed and it seemed to work fine. However my KDE does not "see it." I'm betting it's a path issue. Does anyone know what setting in which file I need to change to get KDE to see it? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks, Charles

link to aqua style http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=153 in file install.sh remove "kinstalltheme" add this line "/opt/kde/bin/kinstalltheme" enjoy!!

there is no aqua style. Where I can find aqua style ?!

i've typed ./configure and got a lot of messages and this: checking for KDE... configure: error: I can't find the designer plugins. These are required and should have been installed by kdelibs WTH? What am i missing? I'm using a Slackware 9.0 with all packages from the ISO and the k installed. qt, 3.1.2

like guppetto already said, is there a way to move the minimize,maximize,close buttons to the right and menu one to the left because I find it very awkward to use them on the left side. There is probably something in the coding that can be changed, could you tell me what to change please and I can change it myself. Thanks.

Love this theme...BUT using RH 9.0 and the title color is white and I don't see a way to change it to black so I can see it. Any ideas help? Thx! :-)

This is truly a sweet windec. Would it be posible to configure the buttons to a particular side. Some people like the Mac Style left side buttons, and some prefer the windows right side button. Could a switch be installed allowing users to pick?

Not sure about previous version or future, but on my RC2 of Mandrake I had to move the files around since they got compiled into the wrong directories. After compiling I did the following: mv /usr/local/kde/share/apps/kwin/acqual3m.desktop /usr/share/apps/kwin/ mv /usr/local/kde/lib/kde3/* /usr/lib/kde3/ Optional if you want to keep your system clean of fake files and directories to avoid confusion: NOTE Make sure you dont need or have anything else inside this folder... Mine was created at the time of compile for this theme. I am not responsible if you remove somthing you wherent supposed to. rm -Rf /usr/local/kde PS.. Love this theme.

Using Mac OS X December 2002 Developer Tools running the latest fink kde files 3.1.17/18. I get a completed configure but this from the linker: bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --mode=link --tag=CXX g++ -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -Wall -pedantic -W -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -O2 -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -ltinfo -lgcc -L/sw/lib -L/usr/lib -dynamiclibs -o libkwinacqual3m_config.la.closure libkwinacqual3m_config_la_closure.lo -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/sw/lib -L/sw/lib -avoid-version -module -no-undefined -R /sw/lib -R /sw/lib -R /usr/X11R6/lib -R /sw/lib AcquaConfig.lo /sw/lib/kwin.la ld: /sw/lib/kwin.so is input for the dynamic link editor, is not relocatable by the static link editor again make[3]: *** [libkwinacqual3m_config.la.closure] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 deksmacintosh:41->

i'm having a bit of trouble setting this up, when i run the ./configure command i get the following error: checking for libz... configure: error: not found. Check your installation and look into config.log. I've searched for a libz package for mandrake 9.0 but the closest thing i came to was the zlib1 package listed in kpackage. any ideas where i can get libz? thanks

Could the mac os x style shadows be applied to the kicker, mac menubar, menus in general and icons? This is would be really kew

Great work! One small wish: Could you add a sticky/unsticky button? That is the only thing I miss. Michael

Ok, I made some little changes, If anybody is interested I can send the patch for Acqua.cpp.. just email me if you want it: filippo@email.it features: * fixed black line along the bottom in MacOSX style shadow mode (thanks Thowil =); * titlebar is lower so you can use bigger fonts * the shadow is more "light" so matching the default Liquid shadow color * borderless mode improved L3m I hope you like it, what about a new release? try it! =) Let's keep this kwinaqua as the default one! So far I only miss: * the ability to configure the buttons position (although the default is correct) * titelbar text should be *centered*, while right now it's a bit on the right (any hint for this?) ciao felipe_
