Customization for pretty, for me us takes time, never see my desktops anyway. Simple key boarding/key bindings works well. The "alt+F2" key binding for running apps is my favorite. Love that the TDE run dialog has a history. Not an old Unix guy, but I switched from WindowMaker to TDE, tramatic move, ended well :-) -- Peace, Greg

said Greg Madden: | Customization for pretty, for me us takes time, never see my desktops | anyway. you're right about it taking time. which is why i decided upon a design i liked and have had it unchanged (except that the desktop program updates the moon picture every hour) for well over a decade. i even use the kde-classic icon theme. other themes are nice, but to me they smack of the collision between "because we can" and "because we should" that caused me to eschew kde4 and all its pomps and promises. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

Even just for myself and my husband I have different Desktops. Both Trinity of course! Having taken screenshots, I realise that they look somewhat similar, but we use them differently. Peter uses only the applications that have icons on the panel. So long as the functions remain the same, he doesn't mind what those icons look like. I thought that he might be bored with his background picture, but was told fairly firmly yesterday to leave it alone! He doesn't use the clock and date, but I live in hope and leave them there. I work from the keyboard. I find it useful to be reminded what is running where, but frequently actually switch using Alt-F5. Most of the time I run applications full-screen, so as others have said, I rarely see my desktop. My granddaughter had her panel jammed full with application icons, and a fair few on her desktop too. But she is currently in Japan, so I have not got access. Horses for courses.... It's great, isn't it? Lisi

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? -Alexandre
