The magic that we do :)
We do icon themes, we do Qt themes, plasma themes, sound themes, cursor themes, color themes, website themes, we do themes for KDE, so what themes might be missing for the KDE user?????
Hum.... what about, GTK themes..... yes I know you use GTK apps in KDE, I do...., so and because its Xmas time and all and, "santa" HUGO is so nice, we give you OXYGEN-GTK have fun :)

By the way, do you know who is maintaining the jointhegame website?
As you can see in your screenshot there is a ugly horizontal toolbar on bottom - an user could be browse the page using the toolbar instead of clicking the links in the menu
The code could be fixed by simply changing the body style to "overflow-x: hidden;"
Thanks for everything
Is the non-radial background of firefox intended or a bug?
So far it looks great. A big test for this new theme will be openoffice and eclipse though.
PS: Is that the new default wallpaper for 4.6? Looks very nice.
OpenOffice.org is even worse, not even sure one can call openofice a gtk app, think it just mimics the gtk look.
You guys have outdone yourselves. That is amazingly added value in consistency!!!
Awasome
Actually, neither openoffice nor eclipse are good test case for any gtk style (nor firefox for that matter) because they both really really mis-use Gtk.
If you look at any gtk theme, it is full of hacks around gtk so that it does not look too ugly for the application aboves, but no matter how hard you try, they all do (including ours).
This is because these applications are crapy (and should not be supported at all, in my oppinion), both UI wise, and code wise.
To the point that no matter how good a coder you are, there is no way your code will work right with the above (trust me, I digged into their code).
Many things we aka Hugo could not accomplish, many will be developed later, the objective is that the default experience of kde users improves as a result, a side efect is that gnome users and other gtk users can now use oxygen gtk theme, being honest I'm not sure that will work very well since oxygen need the oxygen deco to look cohesive..
"That is, will it work with themes other than oxygen or is this basicly just an oxygen-looking theme for GTK apps?"
Yes this is the first item on the blog post. But on the other hand I'm not sure what your question mean.
It is an oxygen-only gtk-engine for gtk apps. More precisely: it is a new unique engine, which you cannot theme (or very little), and this is not a new theme applied on an old engine.
Does that answer your question ?
it would be cool to change the default here please
i dont know, i think the default kde start logo does not look consistent.
i always change it to the oxygen icon (the O' one)
but thats only my opinion so perhaps does not matter really....
Trying to be quite straight, I mean: is it the other way around to QGTKStyle ( http://code.google.com/p/qgtkstyle/ ), that is, makes GTK apps under KDE look under whichever theme I'm using (as GTK-Qt-Engine , QtCurve and http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Oxygen-Molecule+KDE+%26+GTK%2B+unified+theme?content=103741 also seem to try)? Or is it just a regular static GTK theme (like ClearLooks itself, that is, regular GTK theme -- possibly only reading a few KDE settings as when running under KDE) staticly making GTK looking exclusively like Oxygen (simply as http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/kde4.2-oxygen+(modified)?content=99926)?
Now, did the examples cleared up any confusion or made it worse?
Are all those monochromatic icons from the system try new in KDE SC 4.6, or already from 4.5?
Having KDE file pickers instead of the gtk+ file picker would also be nice ...
...but from the looks of it very good job... I'll be sure to switch from oxygen molecule to this one :)
@ João, Mandriva but I'm not religious about it, its works for me it might not for others....
cheers
All of the KDE applications by the KDE team use CMake instead of Autotools (./configure) to compile the sources. Here's how to compile CMake-based sources:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. (equivalent to ./configure)
make
sudo make install
1. Pidgins status changer drops below the app rather than the combobox
2. Some apps have too much margin space in the menus.
3. Doesn't seem like web pages uses KDE's text editor, combo boxes.
Yes we change the dialog buttons order to match KDEs. (we actually hack many more things, like for instance the tree lines and expander, or the combobox).
Now for the file picker, I have no idea how you do that inside a gtk style.
@ComaWhite
The incorrect spacing in some apps menus (notably for separators) is a bug with the app. (at least for xchat it definitely is).
For web pages, I'm confused. Mine (inside firefox) use the right text editor in most places (as well as buttons, checkboxes and radiobuttons, sometimes with insufficient spacing, but thats an issue with the web page which forces a too small size for them). For combobox I do not know.
Feel free to post bug reports on bugzilla.
For pidgin status changer: not our fault. Thats how pidgin implements it, with no way for the style to hack.
this is just awesome! Gtk-apps look so much nicer now! Thank you.
When I'm trying to scroll a page with the gtk-oxygen theme activated, the image rests (only at the outer edges you see that there's something rendered).
conkeror is based on xulrunner, so i thought maybe the bug is the result of one of the "firefox hacks" Hugo talked about...?
I totally see that conkeror might not be a priority application, but maybe it's an easy to fix bug so I thought I'll just mention it here. :-)
regards, keep up the great work! ;-)
concerning conqueror. Its now fixed in git repository (both master and 1.0 branch).
One needed
1/ to blacklist xulrunner (that fixes the scrolling)
2/ to "tag it" as a mozilla apps (this fixes other color issues.
Indeed, it works now, awesome! Thanks a lot :)
I really like Mandriva's Control Center, but their 2010.2 version is in KDE 4.4...
