Andreas, that is a silly and unnecessarily sarcastic question. Bart only pointed out that the current set of YaST icons is ugly and dull, just as I did on 10 Oct.
It doesn't work that way. I seriously doubt that calling the icon theme ugly or silly or whatever gives you better icons. Try a wording like "inconsistent" or "out of place" or something like that.
I believe that Novell would like to sell a product that is pleasing to the eye too. So when I call such a drastic change in icons "ugly", yes, I do believe it will work. I don't think they're inconsistent nor do I think they're out of place, I only think they're ugly and dull (in comparison to the previous set).
No, I have no intention of creating a set of icons for SUSE, but when the current set (10.2a5) is a step backward from that of earlier alphas, reporting it is very reasonable.
But it isn't a fact that these icons are a step backward, it's an opinion.
Of course. My opinion is that they are a step backward, and I have informed Novell that I think so. I wasn't the one who raised a bugreport, I only mentioned it here on this mailing-list.
The proposal with a custom theme package is not intended to be sarcastic at all. Just look at the way the YaST icon theme is packaged and you'll see that there is an infrastructure to install multiple theme packages in parallel.
Maybe so - nonetheless you suggested that a plain user of openSUSE would be likely to create a new set of icons - presumably when you're quite well aware that doing so requires significant graphical and artistical talent and effort. That is called sarcasm.
You're missing the point. YaST is perhaps one of the most visible applications - that KDE has other new applications to offer is utterly irrelevant, IMHO.
I sort of disagree (When using the system in a "normal" way - not Alpha-testing - I'm touching the desktop menu and the networking applet every day and YaST maybe once in a week), but hey, we're free to disagree. ;-)
Yeah, of course YaST is unlikely to be used a lot once you're up and running, that's very true. But your argument about some or other minor KDE apps was just as bad, I think. /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
