I too am looking for a way to use the old themes in kde2.0, more paritcularly the Photon one (gotta love it :) ). If anyone out there has any ideas, please share. I want to use the icons, colors, the whole bit. I found a way that was supposed to do it on the kde.themes.org website, but it didn't quite work right. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of philomena Sent: Saturday, November 18, 2000 3:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] KDE in Mandrake 7.2 KDE2 no longer has themes in the same fashion as were supported in KDE1.4. Its a KDE2 thing, not Mandrake. KDE2-style thmese are starting to appear on themes.org, but there aren't too many yet. There is a legacy theme importer (Configuration->other) utility, but I haven't had much success wiith it yet. You can change the appearence and size of the icons by right clicking and selection Configure. You can also alter the appearence in the Control Center - I think its in LookNFeel. cheers, philomena On Saturday 18 November 2000 10:39 am, you wrote: > > A couple of quick questions.
