Hello Look and Feel guru's out there. Hallo Andreas (I *had* to answer a mail with that Subject ;P)
When you install SUSE, do you go off and change the Look and Feel to match your own preference? Do people look at your resulting desktop and Yep
say: WOW, that looks cool. If so, let me know, since we would like to Yep
ship several alternative "Look and Feel" options in SLICK. They can be very experimental or just little tweaks to make fonts look different or have a different colour scheme/background.
+ kde window decorations + kde styles + gtk2 styles The SUSE windec as used by default is quite ugly, but that's IMVHO. "les goûts et les couleurs..." (french, means: it's a matter of everyone's personal taste) ;) baghira, plastik, mkultra are my personal favourite window decorations on KDE: - - http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/rpm-navigation.php?cat=Themes-KDE3/mkultra/ - - http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/rpm-navigation.php?cat=Themes-KDE3/baghira/ As for KDE styles, plastik is consistent, compact, nice on the eyes. But baghira's brushed metal is for that extra macosx-ish look&feel. (and the whole (thin)keramik stuff is bloated and takes too much space for decorations) For GNOME/GTK2, clearlooks is the clear winner. Awesome. I'd use it for KDE if there was a port. - - http://clearlooks.sourceforge.net/ - - http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/rpm-navigation.php?cat=Themes-GTK2/gtk2-clea... - - part of the Clearlooks variants are already included in 10.0 I prefer this variant, clearlooks-cleaneyes: http://gnomelook.org/content/show.php?content=23679 (Note: I think clearlooks is the default theme for GNOME 2.12)
Let me know and please send me screenshots of your resulting Desktop. http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/files/athena-mkultra.jpg http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/files/athena-white-1.jpg http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/files/athena-2.jpg http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/files/venus-doudou-1.jpg http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/files/venus-metal-amarok.jpg http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/files/venus-metal-mtaskbar.jpg
