Factory users of KDE will have noticed: yast is green now.

For those who don't test Factory (shame on you!) here is a screenshot: - http://www.cgoncalves.info/images/trash/opensuse-greenmess2.png

+2, but maybe the user could choose the new look (which is way too cool, btw) in some sysconfig var, for example.

So I see pros of theming: - it gives yast an extraordinary look

if done correctly (e.g. integrates with the opensuse theme (bootsplash, desktop colors, backgrounds), it helps the user to realize that yast is the thing to use if they want to customize their system ("it looks different than a normal application -> it is not a normal application").

This is exactly the attitude, which seduce every win32 hacker to create his own style. We already have too much style differences from all the toolkits, do we really wish to incite every linux hacker to follow this route?

For me YaST is a rather normal application. ;) I'd vote to not theming it after the installation is completed. Andras -- Quanta Plus developer - http://quanta.kdewebdev.org K Desktop Environment - http://www.kde.org

Stephan Kulow 02/06/08 3:16 PM >>> Hi!

I meant this theming only for installation (it was derived from "Pimp up my installer" mockup) and I still think it's not the best of ideas to have theming everywhere.

So I see pros of theming: - people connect yast and installer (when using KDE) - it gives yast an extraordinary look

and cons: - it's slightly (on nv driver even dramatically) slower - it does not adapt to the desktop's style and won't ever - it gives yast an extraordinary look

Do you see more on either side?

I definitely like the new green Theme. It sets YaST apart from the rest of the system. And it is pleasant to the eyes. But when i think about it. has anyone thought about it how it will look for people with red / green colorblindness. It should not get unreadable in that case.

I too agree that the new theme is nice. But, Stefan Kunze makes a good point. With my vision loss, I have a slight colorblindness and it is a little bit hard to read. I haven't played around with the installer in several weeks, so I can't give specifics. But I'll certainly give it a shot this weekend and speak more fully to this topic after I try it out again.
