Hi, everyone. I was challenged to start using linux after i made a nasty entry on this subject once. Anyway l need had the chance to try the codes given to me. Yesterday i installed fedora core. It solved my initial problem. l can now use my flash drive with linux but i lost system sound and i dont know why ply somebody help :

@jogego
For my desktop theming i use the following softwares from www.kde-look.org
1. deKorator
2. Crystal dekorator
3. Vista-inspire icon theme
4. QtCurve 0.34
5. Kbfx
6. Black Kicker png(which i made myself)
7. Clock(don't know the really name but it's in www.kde-look.org)
8.Superkaramba
9.Gold icon
10.knetappdock
11.and a can of beer

Really the major work is in how i personnally use this tools to produce the effects. i shall discus them in my next post.

The dekorator is in a source code form and need to be compiled as this
untar it(uncompress it)
cd into the folder director
cd <package_name>
./configure
make
make install
to uninstall, do
make uninstall

The dekorator is like your plastic theme or lipstick theme with better effect and font end handling.

A theme for dekorator is crystal dekorator which has to be compiled too. this produce the transparent effect around windows and noticed in my window edges.

Qtcurve is my widget style (window style). it's just fantastic!
it has many effect that can be configured.Majorly it give my window the shiny glassy look.

The vista-inspire icon can be downloaded from www.kde-look.org

I replace the default tool bar icons of the vista-inspire icon with the Gold icons. This can be done from your konqueror windows setting.

Kbfx replaces the default klaunch

superkaramba is just used for the desktop time and date display. this theme can be gotten from kde-look.

I just upgraded KDE to 3.5.2 from 3.5.1and also did a dist-upgrade at the same time. When it was finished I noticed a new program dont know if its Kubuntu specific or KDE. Its Katapult and really wonderful.

It launches by pressing 'alt'+'space' and then you type in a program and it launches it. I have not had to go to kmenu for some time and its really time saving.

How do you get ur apps for Gnome? all the developers out there (most of em, anyway) seem KDE-inclined, and i have to trawl the net to play mp3, wma, divx (these things are not part of the FC3 distro)

i'm a KDE person. About the wallpaper,, hmmm, i do alot of searching.
