Hello,

have you tried to look from www.kde-look.org
at least plastik should support translucency, I am using Slackware 9.1/KDE 3.2.3 and it works without any problems.
What is your distro?

yeah~I've found it from kde-look.org before,but when i tried to install it.
It tell me "you should install kdelibs first".
I've installed kdelibs at system installation......(redhat 9.0)
after all, I cannot install the style....
I've update my system to redhat 9.3 by apt.....but it still tell me "You should install kdelibs first".

what shoul I do??how to solve this problem??reinstall kdelibs by tarball??right??

Hello,

try installing kdelibs-devel rpm, and after that find out where exactly your KDE is installed by issuing the following command,
[code:1]which kde-config[/code:1]
on konsole.
In my case result is this,
[code:1]bash-2.05b$ which kde-config
/opt/kde/bin/kde-config
bash-2.05b$[/code:1]
so you can see that KDE is installed in /opt/kde, and that is the prefix I should use when compiling KDE programs.
I don't know where Redhat puts KDE but I suspect that it's somewhere under /usr, but as I said you can easily find out where it is.

Lets say I am going to compile some theme, so this is what I do:
[code:1]./configure --prefix=/opt/kde
make
su
make install[/code:1]
in your case it should go like this:
[code:1]./configure --prefix=<path-to-your-kde>
make
su
make install[/code:1]

Hope this helps.
