Re: [Cooker] 9.0 Suggestion: More themes
Texstar makes RPMs, and he made a liquid-mosfet RPM for Mandrake 8.2. At least I think it was him. He also made a Keramik RPM. They are located at: ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/Mandrake-8.2 His website is: http://www.pclinuxonline.com My suggestion is that you beg him to build his RPMs for Mandrake 9.0. It would be a simple change, basically just changing references from /opt/kde3 to /usr David Grant Jure Repinc wrote: Hello all I know you have more important work to do but I see a lot of users on the internet asking for more themes included for window managers.

I agree that it would be nice to jump the gun and make it the default in Mandrake 9.0 now. Most people I know with Linux desktops (Mandrake, obviously) use it with their KDE 3.x's. That is on 8.1, 8.2 and 9.0 machines. It is really, really slick. (And looks so much better than the default theme.) Maybe it's time for PLF to think about making a CD release for Mandrake 9.0 *grin* I will just hope for a Keramik default theme. Please? Greetings, Jaco

It looks too funky IMO, and I'm sure that there are quite a few people who prefer something more neutral than Keramik. How about making it an option in the mandrake personalizer that starts up when you first log in? -- -- Igor
