Just trying 11.4 M5.. it looks like KDE is trying to emulate Windows 7 with the monochrome task bar look there.. why on earth for? :)

I don't suppose I can get some color back thru some configuration?

The idea wasn't to mimic Windows,

That assumption would be bollocks anyway because others had that look way before. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

I personally prefer the new versions, but this is not the first person to complain about them.

A slightly retro opensuse Plasma theme with a look somewhere between KDE 3 and KDE 4 could make a lot of users happy. But I've never met an open source designer who wanted to make retro pastiches.

Can we add an option to switch or toggle between the two looks?

Considering the icons are themable, I think it would be much easier to just release a theme with the old icons in it. Considering the option of changing the theme is available, I can practically guarantee developers are not going to put an option solely for this in. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Sure, just add some short cut while you create that new retro theme .... ;P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
