Cairo Dock for Sabayon and KDE

[thenthenio]

I'm not an artist, I'm very far from that, but I created a Cairo Dock theme that looks fine and works good with Sabayon and KDE.
Is there a place where I can share it?
Maybe somebody more artist than me can even improve it...

Can you upload it as an attachment to your post here? That may work.

ThenThenio, is you member of the SabayonMania forum also?
the peolple on Sabayon mania forum not known when you may host your theme.
i only know the official, but the official server is for entropy...
But, you do not contact Voodoo for use ther Zenana non official Repo....?

No way to attach the file here:
After dozens of tries renaming the TGZ file to many other file extension types I found that the only extensions allowed here are: TXT (maximum 256 bytes!!!) and PNG.
So I attached here just its preview.
Can somebody suggest me a way to share it somewhere?

I derived it from the _MacOSX_ theme.
The icons are from KDE environment adapted for Cairo Dock. Plugins are also from _MacOSX_ theme.
Here is how to setup it:
Simply untar it as root from the root directory "/".

# cd /
# tar xvjf ~/Sabayon_Cairo-Dock.tar.bz2

Then open the "Manage themes" window of Cairo Dock.
You will see the Sabayon theme, select it and check both checkboxes, than apply changes.
On the KDE lower panel configuration I reduced its size to 1%, I moved it in the left side and unchecked the minimum size checkbox.
This way the Sabayon icon opens the usual KDE menu.
I removed the other icons from the _MacOSX_ theme because the package attached here was too big to upload.
Maybe, if you want to have more launchers or change them, you can use the icons from _MacOSX_ theme simply copying them from the _MacOSX_ folder to the new Sabayon folder paying attention not to overwrite the ones already existing.

# cp -i /usr/share/cairo-dock/themes/_MacOSX_/launchers/*svg /usr/share/cairo-dock/themes/Sabayon/launchers

This copy is command interactive so you can judge which icons preserve and which overwrite.
Note all the shell commands are as root.

I love Cairo Dock, for me it is the best dock for Linux.
I hope somebody with more artistic taste than me could improve it...
Install Cairo Dock packages and enjoy it!

Ciao Fabio,
I'm very pleased, this is the first time you answer one of my posts!
Did you like my Sabayon dock?
I did not spent a great effort to do it: I just took the Sabayon logo and tilt a little bit back and on left side and then I created an SVG with Inkscape.
The other icons come from KDE icon set (I found them with locate svg | grep kde).
Ok, I'll try to upload it on that site and post the link here.

Ciao.

Ciao Mauro,
it's very cool, indeed.

Pastebin not working:
Internal server error even uploading small (2kB) files...
I'm waiting for a solution.
