Greetings all, I have this problem. I have Mandrake 7.0 and run the stock KDE that came with it. When I apply new themes, alot ( read most ) don't seem to function properly. For instance almost all of them don't change the "start bar" at the bottom of the screen. I look at the screenshots to make sure they look different in this particular theme and they do. However, when I apply the change on my system it does not. I thought maybe there was a apply/don't apply somewhere in the settings, but I have all of those marked in the Theme Manager... Please help, themes are a big reason I love Linux.. :) bosco() [LiquidQuake] www.liquidquake.com Assistant Coder & Resident Crackhead " I don't know everything, but careful, I may claim to! "
