The Noatun KJofol skin loader is a partial reimplementation of a Windows® under the same name.
Noatun's implementation has a few limitations, unfortunately. The skins must be PNG based, and uncompressed on disk.
To install a skin, (in the Windows™ ZIP format), follow these commands:
% cd $KDEHOME/share/apps/noatun % mkdir skins (if needed) % cd skins % mkdir new_skin ; cd new_skin % unzip /path/to/new_skin.zip |
If the images aren't PNG based, you can easily convert them with the following script, after changing to the skin's directory. Replace bmp with the another image format if needed.
% for i in *.bmp ; do convert $i `echo $i | sed s/bmp$/png/`; done; rm *.bmp % cat skin.rc | sed s/\.bmp/\.png/g > temp ; mv temp skin.rc |
You can also make your own skins with the tutorial at http://www.angelfire.com/mo/nequiem/tutorial.html. Noatun's implementation does not have support for the Dock/Windowshade mode, and the seeker cannot be a bar.
