Polymer (formerly known as Plastique) is a port of KDE style Plastik, which does not depend on
any KDE libraries. This means, that you only need QT 3.x to make
your QT applications look as if you had KDE installed.
Full source code is released under
GPL license.
Plastique has been renamed to Polymer. The name was invented by grepping Wikipedia
page on plastic. Thanks for everyone who voted. Updated version 0.3.1 is available.
This release also fixes a small bug in configure script, which should not affect
most users. After installing this release, you may safely remove any files installed
by previous versions. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by the name change.
There is a
survey, where you can vote on submitted names for
Plastique. Name will be changed when there is one obvious winner.
Since I'm aware of other projects using the name 'Plastique',
I have decided to rename this style. However, I don't know how to
call it yet. If you come up with a cool (and unoccupied) name for
a project like this, give me a message. Author of the winning name
will be credited here.
