I finally was able to upload a .tar.bz2 as an X11 Cursor category. I hate when
sites change the way they work.
The matching set is:
kdm theme
https://www.deviantart.com/drankinatty/art/Kdedigital-Kdm-1-0-tar-835677299
ksplash theme
https://www.deviantart.com/drankinatty/art/Kdedigital-Moodin-tar-835678322
desktop wallpaper
https://www.deviantart.com/drankinatty/art/KDEdigital-1600-835598187
All are creative-commons share-and-share-alike licensed (that is what that
site does). Since I am the author, they are GPL2 as well.
For system-wide install, just extract the files and copy the kdm theme to, e.g.:
/opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/themes/
Then I just edit "/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc" and set:
# Whether the greeter should be themed.
# Default is true
UseTheme=true
# The theme to use for the greeter. Can point to either a directory or an XML
# file.
Theme=/opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/themes/kdedigital_kdm
(editing kdmrc directly prevents the theme manager from wiping the comments
from the file)
For the ksplash,
/opt/kde3/share/apps/ksplash/Themes/
you can then just open kcontrol->Appearance & Themes->Splash screen and select
it. If you cannot install the ksplash theme globally, you can just choose add
new them and choose the tar.bz2 file and it will install to your ~/.local
directory.
