Subject: RE: [trinity-users] Icon themes for TDE
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!
