Don't get me wrong.. i don't like to auto hide my applets (so i don't do it ^_^) but i do like to get rid if things that use space. With the exception of __one__ panel (i must admit i have 2 panels now) but other then that i like to keep it as clean as possible. So: 1 icon for the menu, no quick launch icons (assuming it's popping out from the lower left corner like i showed in the mockup) and nicely glassy themed. You could say partly vista under linux. Something different.. i have no idea what all went wrong in the first post of this tread but it all looks messed up (like you found out).. even the title. _______________________________________________ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
