You can add/remove icon themes in the KDE Control Centre (LookNFeel - Icons). You need KDE 2.2 or above for this feature. You can get icon themes from http://kde-look.org/. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan I'll bet you $5 USD (and these days, that's about a gadzillion Euros) that this explains it. -- Linus Torvalds Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
