(don't know if there is +something equivalent on KDE.) +I also use a plain background. +* for the cursor theme, I have long used redglass, a cousin of +whiteglass. I increase the size and transparency a bit. (Red is more +visible than white, although I would prefer something like orange or +green if it were available.) I agree with Marc that the shadow is a bit +strong, but it is way better than the default pointer. +* I've tried KDE in the past and found it too heavy, and with the recent +Gnome changes I'm leaning toward LXDE. +* for Indexing, it is wasted on me as well. It just takes up space and +slows processing. So I always disable/uninstall it. +I organize my computer for how I use information. If I can't find +something right away, I use the (Gnome) search engine, but that is +probably less than once a week. +And email searches are fast, since I filter my email by correspondant. + +BTW, to reassure Doug, I don't think age per se has anything to do with +it. I like simple, clear, elegant and functional. For the dancing dog, +there is always Microsoft. + +-- +André + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="007464.html">[Mageia-discuss] Successful Install with some initial thoughts +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="007466.html">[Mageia-discuss] The Chaudon will soon boil again +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#7465">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#7465">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#7465">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#7465">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
