Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
Installed from:    I Don't Know

I can't believe we don't have a app like this already, a GUI for creating themes. As I understand it, creating a kde theme from scratch requires extensive c++/qt experience. And most of the time we have the problem that designers can't code and coders can't design. what KDE needs is a userfriendly way to create themes.

These are just some mockups I put together in QT-designer/gimp, I really don't know how to actually code it all together. I'm just hoping someone who does will take the opportunity to make a huge contribution to GNU/linux (as we would get alot more, higher quality themes)

Mockups:
See first attachment for mockup of main window

See second attachment for mockup of qt themeing: (missing toolbar, preview and icons in the list. Think qtdesigner)

See third attachment for mockup of Icon themeing: (was created separetely some weeks earlier, I have a second one that is more streamlined, but I couldn't find it :))


If possible I think theme types (plasma theme, qt theme, etc.) should be implemented as plugins.

And if anyone consider making the app I would be happy to keep working on the mockups and provide design ideas :D
