Backgrounds and reflective Icons for Kooldock
+ Kore-Theme for AWN
+ Misticyan-Theme for AWN
+ Blacklight-Theme for AWN
+ Vortiz-Themes for AWN and Kooldock
You can find the latest Kooldock under:

RPM-Files of Kooldock 0.4.7 for SuSE are available at Packman:

I made some reflective Icons out of Everaldo's great "Crystal Project"
(http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Crystal+Project?content=60475), Saki's wonderful "nuoveXT"
and BGthekafu 's "black-white 2 Gloss" for Download.
More reflective Icons for the Leopard-Background You find at:

NEW !!!
Vortiz - Themes for AWN and Kooldock
Blacklight for AVANT-Window-Navigator and Kooldock
Misticyan (Minimalistic Cyan) for Avant-Window-Navigator
(Set "Icon Effects" to "3D Turn" for best result !! )
Kore for Avant-Window-Navigator
For Users having problems with Compiz-Fusion and Kooldock, I've added the Kore-Theme for AWN
Hint for Kooldock:
There are two ways to replace the Kmenu-Icon with an reflective Icon!
Ugly Way:
Replace the Kmenu.png in the KDE Icon-folder with Your choice.
Don't forget to save the original icon!
Better Way:
Disable "Show K Menu" in the Kooldock_0.4.7-configuration.
Add a new application and call her Kmenu. Choose an icon.
As command give in:
dcop kicker kicker popupKMenu 100,200
In advanced options disable "Enable launch feedback"
(100,200 are the coordinates to appear on the screen, you can change them.)
Move the icon to the left position. Done!
My Kooldock-Settings:
-General
Autohide On
Enable Taskbar Off
Show K Menu Off
Use KBFX Off
Don't scroll .. On
Navigation Menu On
- Icon Text
Show text .. Off
- Icon Sizes

Corner scale free On

into the background-directory of Kooldock.
( /usr/share/apps/kooldock/backgrounds/ or /opt/kde3/share/apps/kooldock/backgrounds/ )
In Kooldock-Settings choose as background the new background.
To install a new icon in Kooldock, Just edit an application (Right-Click on the Icon)
Click on the Icon-Symbol and You find a dialogue to choose another icon. Choose
one out of the extracted Icon's directory.
Have much fun, ottlux

Refl. Icons are primarly made for Kooldock.
To use them, you must extract them
and change manualy the icons on your
dock or of your system.

start kooldock automaticly on startup, then set a link to kooldock in KDE-Autostart.

2. after the extracting there will be 4 folders containing icons.
3. put your mouse cursor on the kooldock icon you want to change and right click on it
4. select edit item
5. the window pops up
6. go to the upper left corner and click on the icon image (still the old one, the one you want to change)
7. icon source window opens
8. now select other icons click browse and search for your folder containing the extracted icons (the my_kooldock_icons folder with 4 sub-folders)
9. select the desired icon from any of those 4 sub-folders and click ok
10. if the changes you made do not take the immediate effect restart the cooldock (reload configuration button).
hope this helps,
regards bandito

After the download, just install the theme using kcontrol (kde control center). Click on "look and feel" and "icons". Click on "install new theme". Save changes and exit.
That should automaticaly replace all the icons with the new theme, kooldock icons included.

detected strange behavior in my case... Without any additional window on my desktop, the icons appear shaded with a nasty white-color layer. After opening a window (terminal, firefox, etc.) the icons look as they should (wonderful). Any ideas ?
I am running fc8 with kde 3.5.8-7 and nvidia G0 6400.
Excellent job in any case, keep going !!!
Cheers, Sergio

Do You use Kooldock or AWN ?
If it's AWN, first install the actual version ( AWN 0.2.1 ).
AWN is sometimes not reacting correctly on changing themes ! Then You need to restart
AWN and change special setting manually.
Thank You for comment, ottlux

I am using kooldock:
sergio:~$kooldock --version
Qt: 3.3.8
KDE: 3.5.8-7.fc8 Fedora
KoolDock: 0.4.6
No idea what can happen... Please take a look to a snapshot :
http://ific.uv.es/~segonzal/kooldock/snap.jpg
As I said, in the presence of any kind of additional window, the icons look ok.
I may try with awn, but would like to solve this issue with kooldock.
Any suggestion is apreciated !!

The Icons look really strange on Your desktop.
My first advice is to update Your kooldock.
Actual version is 0.4.7 , it's a very
stable version. Your Problem maybe solved
with it.
