I already had made similar suggestion on Cooker concerning Geramik, which got a postitive response. I would appreciate a response to the content of my response. Since you are a Gnome developer, it may be that you think that I'm suggesting that Gnome become "subserviant" to KDE in this manor. I am not -- I am suggesting that both Gnome and KDE coordinate colors in Mandrake 9.1, thus raising usability to be more like that of Mac OS or Windows. -Tim On Thursday 20 February 2003 01:26 pm, fcrozat wrote: > https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1967 > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: > > What |Removed |Added > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >- Status|NEW |RESOLVED > Resolution| |INVALID > > > > ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-20 20:26 > ------- Please, do NOT reopen bug closed as INVALID.. > > I already explained why it is INVALID.. > > Bugzilla is not a place to discuss, cooker is the right place.. > > > > ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- > You reported the bug, or are watching the reporter. > > > > ------- Reminder: ------- > assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > status: RESOLVED > creation_date: > description: > Hi, > I noticed that Mandrake Galaxy gtk, while much nicer looking atm than > Mandrake Galaxy KDE, does not seem to be able to change colors, at > least that I've noticed.
