The K Desktop Environment

3.5. KJofol Skins

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.
