It looks like gnome, not KDE, and gnome always looked like that. Even
all the themes that become available when using gdm with all the gnome
stuff look pretty much all the same --- and this "clean" looking one
used on the screenshot is my favourite because in the ones that look
different, the buttons look weird, which is why they look different
--- letting aside window decorations maybe, but that depends on the
window manager. Unfortunately, gnome doesn't work with enlightenment
(gnome is blocking the menus) ... And I don't have any use for icons
that appear on the desktop.
