I believe that Novell would like to sell a product that is pleasing to the eye too. So when I call such a drastic change in icons "ugly", yes, I do believe it will work. I don't think they're inconsistent nor do I think they're out of place, I only think they're ugly and dull (in comparison to the previous set). >> No, I have no intention of creating a set of >> icons for SUSE, but when the current set (10.2a5) is a step backward >> from that of earlier alphas, reporting it is very reasonable. > > But it isn't a fact that these icons are a step backward, it's an > opinion. Of course. My opinion is that they are a step backward, and I have informed Novell that I think so. I wasn't the one who raised a bugreport, I only mentioned it here on this mailing-list. > The proposal with a custom theme package is not intended to be > sarcastic at all.

Maybe so - nonetheless you suggested that a plain user of openSUSE would be likely to create a new set of icons - presumably when you're quite well aware that doing so requires significant graphical and artistical talent and effort. That is called sarcasm. >> You're missing the point.

But your argument about some or other minor KDE apps was just as bad, I think. /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
