Don't fret for too long about that. KDE 3.2 will have a much improved theme/style/tweak manager in it. Myself and a few others in the KDE development team, including Mosfet (who looks to be heading this mini-project) have been discussing this very thing on kde-devel. This theme manager would handle cursors, ksplash/ml themes, fully themed kdm screens and UI elements such as styles, etc. If there are features that people would like to see in this, post them my way. > Buchan - -- Gary L.
