When a new release of TDE will be out, reviewers from many websites will

review it and might put screenshots of TDE on their review.

If these screenshots always looks exactly like the previous version, or even like

KDE 3.5.x, those who will take a look at the review might think that no improvement

has been made to the product. If it is a little different, it might catch the attention

of the readers and they might try TDE. New releases are the time where attention is

brought to a project as much for new users as for new developers.

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 even

show ALL the themes available in the theme list...

Good idea!
