Hi everyone! I hope everybody had an happy Easter weekend!
I wrote a little Zenity script to switch between the Classic and the Modern theme on my PCLinuxOS TDE non-official remaster. It will be available in the next version of my remaster, but is also works in the current version. I have posted here the pictures of the script.
I will also host the next version of my remaster on MEGA instead of FileFactory, so I won't have to split the archive and it will be easier to download!
You can download the script here: http://www.filefactory.com/file/6nkm9kcgtetl/theme_switch.zip

Hi Alexandre
I send you a link to the PCLinuxOS forum Maybe you are interested in it, and maybe you are not.
http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,104311.msg889799.html#new
if you can agree with them, you may/might/could have a permanent Host with lost of people ....this and that !
Regardless of outcome there, I will test each and every one of your releases.
Good luck

Hello, alas I think their fifth rule eliminates the TDE remaster, as well as many others...
5> the submitted remaster must not include non-repo packages nor any non-repo scripts, other than general in-situ configurations, themes and wallpapers ie: if there is a particular app required - request its inclusion into the repo prior to submitting the remaster.
So, an official remaster is limited to changing visual preferences ? According to their rules, the TDE remaster should stay "unofficial", with a label "based on PCLinuxOS".

Hi everyone! I'd say that PCLinuxOS dev team is probably not interested in TDE at all. With this, it's pretty clear: http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=98961.0
You can see in this post that many persons loved KDE3, but they have been left back to use PCLOS 2009, or use another distro. They don't care at all about TDE. While it is true that PCLinuxOS implement KDE4 in a pretty good way (at least with a desktop that you can put icons on it! Grrr!), KDE4 still lacks the performance of TDE and it has its own way of doing things. Some pesons may like it, some not. At least for me, I'm always more productive on TDE than on KDE4.
While it's true that Francois Andriot's packages are very good, they only accept packages that are build by their team. I don't really care about making it officially available on PClinuxOS.com
The regular PCLinuxOS 2012 KDE4 starts in the same time as PCLinuxOS non-official TDE remaster on my 2 test computers, but the one with TDE is a P4 with 768mb of ram and the one with KDE4 is a Core 2 Duo with 2gb of ram. Also, my Asus EEE (first gen) with 512mb of ram crash before getting to the desktop with KDE4 and is almost fast with TDE. For those who haven't understood yet why I do this remaster, it is at least partly for that!
Have a nice day! -Alexandre
