Is that important? I think there's another way to do it so that wouldn't be the case. > So nobody install a system wide default. So any > theme should > assume he is going to be the default.

Noone's going to install it w/out wanting it to be the default. The whole point of it is Keramik is the KDE default and this is for consistency (think Bluecurve just w/out breaking code and less ugly). > > Also it > > doesn't override the user's theme choice. > > > > It did, after installation you can't change theme. > Colors change, but engine is not changed.

Noone's going to install this for any other reason. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Web Hosting - Let the expert host your site http://webhosting.yahoo.com
