Dear list members and SUSE developers:
I started to use SUSE at version 9.0 and I can say that I liked it at the first sight. In the past two years I followed the different versions and found them from version to version more stable and reliable with enhanced features. However there is a thing that I don't like and for what I sometimes feel reluctant to upgrade my system. This is that every SUSE version has different SUSE style. As I mentioned I really liked the (KDE) style/lookup of 9.0 and still think that 9.0 has the nicest SUSE style. Up to 9.3 I could manage to convert the suse KDE theme and the bootsplash theme to look like in 9.0 but in 10.0 not anymore. My point is that would be very nice if in new SUSE versions the styles (KDE theme, bootsplash, gfxboot theme) of earlier SUSE versions would be included. (As in 9.0 one could choose 8.2 and earlier boot logos.) People then could choose whatever SUSE style they want and keep a constant SUSE specific lookup of their system through different versions.
Sorry for being so verbous, With the best regards, IG
Maybe Novell is trying to ensure that they have a constant visual look across all of the user's desktops, at least to a certain extent? At 10, the product name itself changed to Novell SuSE Linux. Just a wag, a maybe way off base. Greg Wallace
