But integrating the big 2 (KDE& +</I>>><i> Gnome) into the distribution's own look and keep it as original as +</I>>><i> possible and then make it look good together - this is also a +</I>>><i> separator from those other distributions. A nice example: +</I>>><i> +</I>>><i> At Berlin Linuxtag exhibition a visitor looked at Mageia 2 KDE (I did +</I>>><i> a standard installation with nothing customized to my own preferences +</I>>><i> yet). He played with it for a while, especially with the KDE +</I>>><i> functions. Then he told us that in his opinion this is the best +</I>>><i> integration of KDE into a new distribution he has seen lately, +</I>>><i> especially the combination of the KDE looks with out corporate colors. +</I>>><i> The guy turned out to be the treasurer of the KDE project. +</I>>><i> +</I>>><i> This is what I meant - establishing a reputation of leaving the +</I>>><i> original as original as possible. +</I>>><i> This should at least taken into account: Do we really want our own theme? +</I>>><i> +</I>>><i> Of course there's nothing against our own theme as additionsl option. +</I>>><i> +</I>>><i> +</I>><i> +</I>This is why I put it up for discussion. :) + +Yes, we did integrate KDE very nicely with our distro and gave it a nice +personal touch. 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. +In any event, such a compliment from one of the KDE team does say a lot. +We'll think about this some more. + + +><i> Also I'd like to add that creating a brand new theme is *really* a long +</I>><i> and hard task. One of the strong point of Mageia is also having a common +</I>><i> theme for environnement which allows to have both Qt and gtk apps well +</I>><i> integrated. Such choice should be done also together with environments +</I>><i> maintainers +</I>><i> +</I>><i> +</I>Yes, this is also why I put it up for discussion.
