I imagine the FreeBSD port/package is built off only the main sources, which explains the lack of theme support. The KDE themes.org pages have instructions on how to get the add-on: http://kde.themes.org/ No guarantees, though. That site was pretty screwed up last time I was there. > P.S. I tried DL'ing the source, but i'm not sure how to MAKE it. There > are no instructions that i could find. There are instructions, but they don't help much, since that source has several problems. I don't think the KDE people use anything but Linux, and it shows. Building from source on a non-Linux system is non-trivial unless you're pretty familiar with C and make. Don't build from source if you can avoid it. #ifdef FLAMEBAIT Of course, IMHO, KDE = broken + bloated + barely-portable, so you could always just use something better... :) #endif /* FLAMEBAIT */ Lucas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
