Hi,
Here is some new pictures to replace the KDE 3.5 stock images found in the KPersonalizer
wizard. It would make a great first impression to new users for the upcoming R14 and it
would make TDE look like it has progressed since the last 10 years. You will see that
while they are new, they do have some inspiration from the old ones.
It is based on CrystalSVG, KFaenza and MoodinKDE.
If you want, I can provide my GIMP files.
Any __constructive__ ideas or comments would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
-Alexandre

Alexandre,
Would you please open an enhancement request bug report and attach the png images? I will
endorse the request and ensure the request is added to the final R14 check list, which is
being discussed right now. All we really need do is replace the existing png files in the
git tree with the new png files.
One comment: In the step 2 image, would you please replace the KDE icon with a MacOS icon?
That would better match the dialog choices.
A question: In the step 5 image your dialog shows a button to start kcontrol. How did you
do that?

Yes, these are to be placed in /opt/trinity/share/apps/kpersonalizer

On step 5, there is a button for launching TDE Control Center. Someone
must have added this button a while ago, but it is not me.

Hi,
Thank you! Here is the new ''step 2'' with an OS X icon.
I made it myself in GIMP, based on a KFaenza icon, because I wasn't too sure about
using one from the internet.
The bug report number is: 2001
Thank you!

I hadn't. I just reacted to your comment about Crystal AVG.
Sorry. :-(
I now have. I almost need sun-glasses!! But as my usual complaint is
that things are not clearly visible, I can hardly complain about
these. ;-) And above all: they are not transparent and they don't
move or wobble. Thanks, Alexandre. :-))
Is that awful X really the MacOS icon? Poor things!

There is no need to worry about it. There is no link between
KPersonalizer and the CrystalSVG icon theme.
Have you looked at the picture?
Thank you!

I have just had another and slower look. I really like much of it.
The background, and the font for the "TDE" are really great. And on
consideration I rather like the brashest one, with the different
logos - the whole think is a harmonious whole, except for the Windows
logo. :-) Now that is the subtlest and therefore most effective
comment I have seen on Windows in a long time. ;-) They can't
complain. It is a very pretty red.
I withdraw my somewhat grudging acceptance. You have done a great
job. Just let me keep Plastik and CrystalSVG and I'll be happy!!

Thank you!
The OS X icon is something a made, by patching an icon from the KFaenza icon set. It looks
similar to the real OS X icon, but without have to pay copyright on it and it is
free/libre.
