QNiX KDE Theme Engine
-----------------------------------------

Description:

The QNiX project provides theme engines for both Kwin (the KDE window manager) and KDE widgets, based on the QNX/Photon user interface. My aim has been to replicate as closely as possible the QNX interface, while still providing configurability (through standard KDE colour selection) and performance (by using a C++ based engine instead of using pixmaps).


Requirements:

I have tested it with KDE versions 2.2 and 2.2.1. I'm not sure if it works for KDE2 versions prior to these, but if you are running 2.0/2.1 I would recommend you upgrade, just for the increased performance and stability which recent KDE releases offer :)


Installation:

1. Change to the directory containing QNix source, then do:
      make -f Makefile.cvs

2. Next run the configure script. On SuSE this normally this should just consist of doing:
      ./configure
   However other distributions store KDE2 in non-standard locations, so you may have to specify the location.
   I've been told that the following works for Mandrake:
      ./configure --prefix=/usr

3. Then compile
      make

4. Then as root/superuser do the following:
      make install


Thanks:

I would like to thank everyone who has mailed me with their bug reports, suggestions and patches, which have been very useful in tracking down some (fairly major) bugs and in improving the look & feel of the theme.
Particularly I would like to thank Ueki Masaru <penetre@yahoo.co.jp> for the patch that fixes the large popupmenu problem

The Widget theme code is based on code from HCStyle & MegaGradient Styles, created by:
  Daniel M. Duley  <mosfet@kde.org>
  Martijn Klingens <mklingens@yahoo.com>
  Dirk Mueller     <mueller@kde.org>
The KWin theme code is bassed on code from Kstep, ModSystem & Redmond kwin clients, created by:
  Daniel M. Duley  <mosfet@kde.org>
  Karol Szwed <gallium@kde.org>
I would like to thank all these developers for their contributions to KDE & the OSS community, without which little projects like mine wouldn't be possible.
