My background is Dragonfly. I think I got it in FC4. Colors I am using a dark blue. Its a little darker than the KDE default, but not as dark as blue curve. Fonts are all Sans 10, except fixed width, which is Monospace 10. For icons, I am using the Bluecurve Icon Theme. I'm using the plastik theme. I think most of my settings are stock. Pretty boring, but it works great. About the only visual complaints I have are the fonts in Evolution. I've never gotten exactly the font I want with it. Either one doesn't look good bold or plain or something. I think the login screen artwork is almost stunning ! I'm just really happy with fc6. > I'm doing a survey about kde themes which fedora users like :) > In the end hopefully, we can do something better for fc7 in terms of kde :) KDE is starting to get some polish to it. I don't mean that as a rude comment. Its always been a functional environment, but fc4 and now fc6 have moved the bar ever further upward in functionality and appearance. I like the new fc6 folders, for example. I was on a Windows machine the other day. First thing I missed were the multiple desktops. Next thing I missed was having a clipboard that could hold more than one clip. Next thing I hated was the virus detector always running and warning me about stuff. And the fonts were too small in IE. Next thing I missed was not being able to ssh onto the server. And that was just in one short session ! I was very happy to get back to my Linux box. I find I use the command line for stuff more and more. So much easier to mv *.mp3 playlist than to do it with a mouse. I'm writing scrips for some of the repetitive stuff I do. I find the Linux experience so much deeper and richer than the Windows experience. Windows is like snowboarding on the bunny hill. Linux is like having access to the whole mountain, including the backcountry if you need it. -- Kim Lux, Diesel Research Inc.
