Yeah, I go back and forth on themes. I look at some of the stuff on xp or even kde / gnome sometimes and think ¨wow, that really looks cool!¨ Then after about a week of dealing with the slow logging in, etc. I end up back with blackbox / fluxbox. It´s so much nicer just being able to get where you´re going in a decent amount of time. Fonts are really my only gripe on any of them - I like those new smooth, pretty ones. -- Michael Holt Snohomish, WA (o_ [EMAIL PROTECTED](o_ (o_ //\ www.holt-tech.net(/)_ (/)_ V_/_www.mandrake.com < Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The interesting thing about this Aqua theme is that it really does make the XP box feel better, faster, more usable... with one exception. I've been working on some complex Javascript lately and debugging it with IE (Mozilla will quietly ignore Javascript syntax bugs, IE will tell you the line number). Well, ever since turning on the XP theme, IE takes like six seconds to chew through auto-filling six dynamic dropdown menus. Mozilla of course has no problem, and IE had no problem before the theme. Anyway, way outta topic now. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture... Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
