Hi This is about esthetic, so don't feel accused or irritated. I think it is nice that we should have different 'tastes'. I am currently using Windowmaker and I think it is a pathetic design not to use its possibility to make an intelligent choice on where a window should open. As it is now my composer window of Netscape hides the upper left corner so I have difficulty in jumping to other desktops. In Windowmaker the icons are hidden by the windows open. The same is the case in KDE. In KDE there is one icon that is supposed to be used to kill a window, mostly Netscape. How can you do that if your window is hiding that icon. The Mandrake icons in KDE ought to have a 16 bit copy so you can make all icons 'tiny'. I still think the text is stupid on some of them. An icon is meant to send a message, if it needs a string then the design is probably bad. The string is so long that it is impossible to make them come near the boarder of the desktop. Xterm and emacs could have their slidebars on the same side as that mostly used in KDE or whatever. For the newbie I would propose a smaller Tux picture on the login console, and instead use that space to show different starting sequences for XFree86. Something along the line of what resolutions and what colour depths you may choose. I hope I got some of you kicking and thinking about 'l'esprie Mandrake'. regards guran
