It occurs to me that we already have several default-settings
metapackages
for Debian/Ubuntu; perhaps we should find a way to allow users such as
yourself to create/maintain new default-settings files for use on
multiple
distributions? This way we could offer several different styles right
out
of the box with minimal user effort/knowledge required to select
something
close to what they want.
The only question is, what is the best way to do this? The built in TDE
theme control panel is not powerful enough AFAIK, and the packaging
systems are all distro-specific.

I'm happy to hear that you can all use the settings you want! That is
great!
Tim, the theme control panel is already very powerful and complete.
If one day you get some time to try my PCLinuxOS LiveCD, you will be able
to try the little Zenity script I made to switch between stock theme and
the theme I use. The icon is on the desktop.
The theme manager do 95% of the job and for the rest of it, I made some
step-by-step Zenity pop-ups to tell the user what to do to finish the rest
of the customization.
If you are interested in it, I can prepare a folder containing everything
that is needed to get that theme. The only thing to do is to put it in :
/opt/trinity/share/apps/kthememanager/themes/
and package the KFaenza icon theme with TDE.
Can I start a ''bug'' with that?
