But integrating the big 2 (KDE&<br> +Gnome) into the distribution's own look and keep it as original as<br> +possible and then make it look good together - this is also a<br> +separator from those other distributions. A nice example:<br> +<br> +At Berlin Linuxtag exhibition a visitor looked at Mageia 2 KDE (I did<br> +a standard installation with nothing customized to my own preferences<br> +yet). He played with it for a while, especially with the KDE<br> +functions.

But I'm not really sure how much the treasurer would know about look and feel. He could be a software or graphics designer by day and treasurer by night, but he could also be a lawyer by day.<br> +In any event, such a compliment from one of the KDE team does say a lot.<br>We'll think about this some more.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> +<div><div class="h5"></div></div> +Also I'd like to add that creating a brand new theme is *really* a long and hard task.
