Center, select Appearances & Themes, select Colors, and under Widget
Color select
I apt-getted kwin-baghira. But even after installing, it does not show
up in it does not show up in kcontrol->Appearance&Themes->Theme Manger.
Can someone else reproduce this? How can I activate the kwin-bhagira theme?
