I'd really like to use KDE again (I used it up until v2.2.1, and when I moved to Debian, it was broken), and have tested it occasion- ally, but, *IMO*, it looks like it was designed by Fisher-Price. Are any of the themes less bright? To my tastes, the boring blue/ grey and grey GNOME Default Theme and Crux window borders are the perfect neutral, fade into the background colors that don't get in the way of the important stuff. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail. $ python -c 'print len(str(2**3000000))' 903090
