2 broken themes. We are shipping this by default. KDE 4.9 beta 2 (but this bug is older than the current beta)
Confirmed I have this same issue and more when you install the kde-artwork-theme-window? it does not show up in desktop themes. Or is it the style package? one of the 2 i installed kubuntu 3 times. does it every time Here are screen shots.. http://postimage.org/image/to5s3x9ob/ http://s11.postimage.org/z09hkgqhd/snapshot2.png kde-artwork-theme-window is not working in 12.04 either, It installs but does not show up in settings Adding Martin (kwin). Any suggestion ? Do you have better Aurorae themes to ship in artwork ? I would vote for just dropping them as it's easy to get new ones through GHNS any ideal whats breaking the themes? (In reply to comment #8) > any ideal whats breaking the themes? nothing is breaking the themes, they are just very badly done and should have never been imported in the first place. For air-oxygen there are themes on kde-look which are not broken. @Martin, I agree that we should drop the themes if they are bad and unmaintained. However I also think we should ship a couple of aurorae theme in our packages nonetheless. Maybe someone (you ?) could go fetch some of the best kde-look examples, consult with nuno, and ask the maintainers if they want to be part of official kde release ? (just suggesting).

<personal opinion>Hardly any theme has the quality to be included in KDE</personal opinion>
Most of the themes do not define all buttons. From all the themes I have installed only one provides the "What's this" button.
How would those themes relate to the GHNS, ie. would one get them updated through GHNS an could the user "delete" them through GHNS? If not, could one automate GNHS and offer the user to download deco xyz via GHNS by (re)setting some firstrun variable through a kconf update script in the artwork package? Regarding available quality: we could call for a contest =) @Thomas why not ask the kdelook maintainer to maintain his theme the same way we do for the rest of kde software ? Bug fixes, 6 month release, etc, like for normal code. And interact with Martin to make sure he is the first to implement new aurorae features ? And then we could submit bug reports to the guy, and make him implement the missing buttons :) (In reply to comment #12) > How would those themes relate to the GHNS, ie. would one get them updated > through GHNS an could the user "delete" them through GHNS? to my understanding kde-artwork is shipped by the distros as packages and that highly conflicts with GHNS - the one installing into /usr the other into $KDE_HOME. If we want to ship something we should go for syncrotron (or however that webapp is written). If we go for a contest I would vote for a QML theme contest. And now let's move the offtopic somewhere else and concentrate here on the deleting :-) (In reply to comment #13) > why not ask the kdelook maintainer to maintain his theme the same way we do > for the rest of kde software ? "I am immune to your sarcasm" -- Dr. Sheldon C. The more realistic approach is to have a contest for a "KWin theme of the major release". It also stresses oxygens character as the persistent default theme.. oh, and: It's also much better PR =) PS: on topic alibi "git rm -r" is the proper fix to this particular bug. As mush as this has nothing to do with anything - I would KILL for a QML theme contest :D Sorry again for hijacking the thread.
