I switched to +"Plastik". If we are going to try to popularize Mageia, we will have to +have more conventional widows themes to lessen the hurdles to newcomers. + +* the "Cursor Theme" -- I am 53 of age and the default theme is a little +too hard to see. The arrow icon on the default theme does not have a +well defined tail and blends too well with the text when wordprocessing, +messaging etc. I switched to "Whiteglass" but may change it again. Also, +I find the shadow on the cursors is too extreme, it should be closed up +-- but this may be due to the Whiteglass theme. + +* I love the treatment of the bottom bar where open windows/software +icons take much less space. This is really great and much appreciated. + +* Neopunk -- well, what can I say, it slows my machine down quite a bit, +but then, I have over 200 gigs of data on it. I'm going to give it the +benefit of the doubt and give it a chance at indexing. I am not sure how +long it will take for my system, but it would be nice to have an indexed +machine to work with as I do quite a bit of searches through files. I +hope it doesn't take weeks to index. + +* the "Activity Manager", I had not really worked with this, but, I can +see its appeal where someone would want an uncluttered screen with some +of the options. It is nice to see it out in the open for people to try. + +* PulseAudio -- it can either be a "bust or a boom" on different +systems. On my system, I have a Via 8237 sound controller and PulseAudio +did not want to play nicely with it, so I removed it and all is well; I +am not sure, but I think the problem was with my WebCam being plugged +into the system. I also switched KMix with QASMixer as I like the +controls better on QASMixer. + +Otherwise, the system works really well and is responsive. I still have +2 more desktops and a laptop to install at home. I have also a lineup of +30 clients whose computers I maintain on a volunteer basis and the +lineup has already started for the upgrades from MageiaV.1.0 to +MageiaV.2.0. + +Thanks again for all of the great work and OS! + +Cheers, + +Marc + +</PRE> + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="007456.html">[Mageia-discuss] Upgrade to mageia 2, screen upside down !
