I have to say I do like the panel at the bottom, What theme is that which has it cut off at a quarter of the height and the icons overlapping. It looks very nice looking. Also what are those folder widgets, are those just for Mandriva? -- Cameron Seader

Afaik at least the panel and the stack folder is developed by Mandriva, the rest is just patchwork. hope this helps, -- send from my notebook ***************** Linux is userfriendly.

After some double checking, I found out that Mandriva had them developed by the ROSA Laboratories (http://www.rosalab.ru/). Their ROSA desktop contains the StackFolder, Rocketbar, SimpleWelcome, TimeFrame and enhancements to Dolphin and KDM. I tried to see if there was a tarball that could be downloaded, but the only thing they offer is a LiveCD. Looking at the Mandriva Source RPM's, it seems that it is GPL based, but should we really go that way that we are taking the Mandriva sources and then start offering it for openSUSE ? What I could imagine is that we make a separate package, call it ROSA-desktop and that package would then contain the desktoptheme, RocketBar, SimpleWelcome and Timeframe.

I tried to built it with OBS, but it failed because it needs a library that isn´t there. :-( Maybe I will try later again. thanks, -- send from my notebook ***************** Linux is userfriendly.

Hi, I already have the spec-files adjusted so that they can build on OBS. As soon as I have finished with them, I will place them in KDE:Extra. It would be better to have them compiling on OBS, so that they are using the correct libraries coming with the openSUSE distro. This way they will be available for 11.3, 11.4 and Factory. Also for KR46, KR47 and KDF. Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Well, thank you!
