An alternative might be a more flexible implementation of the KDE 4.x series. I recall when Windows XP first came out there were lot of complains about the default 'tele-tubby' look; but users who were more accustomes to the classic style of prev Windows versions (Win NT/ 2000 & earlier), were given the option to switch to 'Classic' style, and this did not require administrative previliges. This is sadly missing in Windows Vista (and Office 2007 too, with it's couter-intuitive 'ribbon' look).
Maybe the new KDE series should also offer an option to go back to the 'classic' view without the extra jizz/ effects on the desktop. This would also be a boon for those using Linux on older hardware platforms.

Maybe you can research Configure Desktop > Themes and find something that you would like to have. or combination of elements that hang in there. There are old window decorations from times predating my Linux use, that were included in the first of KDE's and they are still there. It is really sad that KDE is unable to provide simple switch between New and Old, like windows can. >:) There is not single New and that is can be worse for Old style, so user is forced to make the decision by himself. Sad, isn't it. (It seems sometimes that GNOME way of extreme simplification is really what many users want, whatever they say about lack of options.) -- Regards, Rajko http://news.opensuse.org/category/people-of-opensuse/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
