KMSBII for Slackware GNU\Linux

[UPDATE]

* New KMSBII for Slackware 12.2.0
* Yet again Marco Antonio Frias B. didn't let this project die by contributing time and effort to keep this project rolling. See Changelog for details :) Thanks again Marco!

[ DESCRIPTION ]

KDE Menu Sidebar Image Improvement is a simple improvement for your KDE
Menu that replaces default KDE Menu Sidebar image with one designed specifically for your Slackware GNU\Linux distribution.

Having say a Slackware or Debian or FreeBSD or any other OS/distribution logo instead of default KDE gear may be a much better choice for those of you who are just in love with your favorite *nix.

Personalized it looks sexy, it looks witty, it stresses the facts.

This project proved to be a little success because people seem to appreciate it.

So, now here we are with updated package again and it is my pleasure to hear from you that you've given it a try.

v2.1.0

20060711

* BUGFIX:
#000 "Odd And Even" | Fixed

Description: if KMenu contains an odd number of entries a
gap appears in the juxtaposition of kside.png and
kside_tile.png; if KMenu contains an even number of entries
KMSBI looks seamless. Fixed in v2.1.0

* Project structure has been redefined so that it is now template
based and extensible. This is basically a first attempt to unify
all types of KMSBII presented at kde-look.org.
* Installation script has been dramastically improved; added new
features to control the installation process and the ability to
perform post-installation actions; run `./install.sh help' for more
information. The script is quite verbose now and informs user of
every action performed in a user-friendly manner;
* Abbreviations of the project related names have been introduced to
provide a convenient way to refer to them. See "ABBREVIATIONS"
section of `./install.sh help' output;
* Graphic source files as well as KMSBI files have been changed once
again, changes have been made to achieve the best look of the KMSBI;
* Added KMSBII for Slackware GNU\Linux distribution v11.0.0;
* Updated documentation.
* Licensing agreement has been introduced to protect intellectual
property and rights of its owner. See COPYING file for more details
and "Licensing Agreement" section of this file for short
explanations on how this licensing agreement works.


v2.0.0

20060403

* The entire package suffered a complete overhaul;
* Installation script provided which is capable of single-user as well
as system-wide installation type, and uninstallation. Run
`./install.sh' to see usage options;
* Updated documentation;
* Added images for 10.2.0 version of Slackware GNU\Linux;
* Images now use Courier New family font type for the writing, because
this is a good idea to have a proper type which is following
Slackware distribution each and other place. Why Courier? Hopefully,
this will answer the question:

> Q: What is the original Slackware font as used in the old-style
> Slackware-with-an-underline style logo ?
>
> A: We *think* it's simply "Courier New."

v1.0.0

20050718

* Archive structure has been modified (Christophe suggested to have a

folder).

20050717

* Rotated logotype (I think this looks a bit better and artistic);
* Archive content's been overhauled: directory structure changes;
* In/unstallation scripts has been modified;
* Now `kicker' restarts right after you execute `./install.sh', so you
can see the changes without the need of restarting the whole KDE;
* *.xcf source's been updated for each version of the dir.
