Hi,
Say it isn't true.... openSUSE becomes Gnome minded (at Novell-request I am 90% sure) as we all can see using KDE.
Do you really think so?
Are you using the current Alphas? Did you compare both environments there? Yes, I did. And I really do not care about those ugly tango icons (yes, they are ugly within Qt-YaST).
But... Each step Novell makes in the direction of Gnomifying the Suse desktop is (at least by the Suse-KDE-community) considered as going on killing KDE. Work at Novell for KDE is (by the community) not seen as an extra work but a must for Novell to keep it's face. So Novell is not doing a "good job" developing KDE apps, but it's doing "its job". Many of us know, that Novell will drop KDE as soon as it can without loosing face. It's just a matter of time. And signs like this decision make even more people belive, that the time is near... So if you want them, not to belive, that Novell will drop KDE, please do not make such bull****-decisions in the future. OK. Novell decides to change the YaST icon theme to tango icons to avoid duplicated work. But why doesn't Novell change then the whole KDE icon theme to tango? If I had no money to give to designers, I would concentrate on one icon theme at all, and not only for YaST... So please tell us, when step 2 will be done. And if Novell still wants to keep a designer for KDE artwork, why can't he do some icons for YaST. If Novell has no designer: why didn't Novell ask the community for help creating some KDE-style icons for YaST??? Step 3: If I had no money to give to developers, I would concentrate on one desktop and not create different GUIs for the same application. So please tell us, when step 3 will be done so we have time to switch to Kubuntu and help them to become #1 for KDE (a goal defined by Canonical, not by me) as well. Thanks for your wise decisions to be carefull with Novells budget, Marcel Hilzinger -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Marcel Hilzinger Linux New Media AG Süskindstr. 4 D-81929 München Tel: +49 (89) 99 34 11 0 Fax: +49 (89) 99 34 11 99 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
