Description Kelly Miller 2007-05-03 04:06:17 UTC
Spec URL: http://crystalsanctuary.rpgsource.net/packages/specs/qtcurve.spec
SRPM URL: http://crystalsanctuary.rpgsource.net/packages/source/qtcurve-0.48.5-1fc6.src.rpm
Description: QtCurve is a set of widget styles for KDE and Gtk2 based apps, based on Bluecurve.  It allows for similar styles to be applied to both KDE and Gtk2-based apps, acheiving decent-looking style unity.

This package doesn't install anything; instead, it simply requires both the KDE and Gtk2 sides of QtCurve.  Installing this package will install all of QtCurve (and all of it's dependencies).

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2007-05-03 04:13:24 UTC
imo, this is is kinda pointless, but who am I to judge? :)

Comment 2 Laurent Rineau 2008-02-05 11:46:13 UTC
:-) I was about to construct package for QtCurve-0.55, and submit them to 
Fedora.

Kelly, can you update to QtCurve-0.55 in bug #238816 and bug #238815, and also 
provide the KDE4 style? I am using this style in both Gtk2/KDE3/Qt4 apps, and 
my desktop now looks better.

In my opinion, the current meta-package should not exist. Anyway, should it 
exist, then the requirements should be:
  kde-style-qtcurve = %{version}, gtk-qtcurve-engine = %{version}

(In reply to comment #1)

Rex, you are the maintainer of gtk-qt-engine. I do not understand your point, 
here. In my opinion, using QtCurve for both KDE3, KDE4 and Gtk is a better 
option than gtk-qt-engine, because it offers a quite-uniform look for all the 
desktop, even for KDE3/KDE4. Until all KDE3 applications are ported to KDE4, I 
will prefere to use QtCurve instead of a mix of Oxygen (for KDE4) and any 
other style for Gtk2/KDE3/Qt3.

And, IMO, Oxygen is ugly.


Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2008-02-05 11:56:37 UTC
My "pointless" comment was about the existence of the metapackage (as you seem
to agree), and not anything against qtcurve itself.

Comment 4 Laurent Rineau 2008-02-05 13:49:44 UTC
Sorry Rex for the misunderstanding.


Comment 5 Jason Tibbitts 2008-06-28 18:19:24 UTC
Closing as detailed in bug 238816.
