http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=507664 Summary: Enhancement - Installer defaults for DE appearance (install DVD) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Milestone 1 Platform: PC OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Usability AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: blueblack_guy@lavabit.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=294848) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=294848) Default OpenSUSE xfce appearance User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042523 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.0.10 1) Right now ALL the DE's in the installer DVD are set up to look like windows by default. It would be a better thing to set them up to have vanilla file browser/panel configuration, that is. KDE look like kubuntu KDE, gnome uses the same default look that Fedora (spatial filebrowser) and ubuntu (dual panel) uses, xfce looks like the zenwalk xfce (which AFAIK is the vanilla OOTB setup for Xfce4). Note that the distributions I mentioned were mentioned because they leave their respective primary DE's in their vanilla (uncustomized, OOTB, "as you would see it if you were to compile it off the sources) state. In that way there is more visible diferences between them OOTB (good for beginners since they want to know at first glance what the DE's are meant by their manufacturers to looks like). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the installer DVD 2. Select any single DE in the install screen 3. Boot into installed system. Actual Results: Whatever DE you install looks like windows, f.e: Gnome: http://ostatic.com/files/images/800px-os110beta1-gnome0.png KDE: http://news.opensuse.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/103-kde-desktop.jpg XFCE: http://lizards.opensuse.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/xfce4_21.png Expected Results: The installed DE should look by default the way the manufacturer intended it to look like, f.e: Gnome: http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.26/figures/gnome.png.en_GB KDE: http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.2/screenshots/desktop.png XFCE: http://www.xfce.org/images/about/screenshots/4.4-1.png Those are changes that should get integrated into 11.2 since we're still in the early development. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
