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:

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

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!
