more on topic: I chose TDE precisely because the interface is quiet and 'not an issue'; and I don't know the empirical basis for the claim that changing icons as you propose would draw more users. When a new release of TDE will be out, reviewers from many websites willreview it and might put screenshots of TDE on their review.
If these screenshots always looks exactly like the previous version, or even likeKDE 3.5.x, those who will take a look at the review might think that no improvementhas been made to the product. If it is a little different, it might catch the attentionof the readers and they might try TDE. New releases are the time where attention isbrought to a project as much for new users as for new developers.
nonethless, perhaps on installation one could add a frame which suggests themes people might want to choose aside from the default.
Completely agree with you on this. I think that it is the point of Kpersonalizer.It could be improved to provide more choices. Thinking about it, it doesn't evenshow ALL the themes available in the theme list...Good idea! -Alexandre
