I agree with that. Default Clearlooks is dated. On the other hand, since learning a bit about how Gnome and GDM work I have a general "make my desktop look sweet" ritual I go through every time I do a new install (for me or anyone else). I've never had complaints at all. Meh... Maybe what this really means is we should make the "sweet FX" more prevalent, one-clickish accessible, or something else along those lines. Compiz, Gnome settings, desktop effects, themes and GDM are *not* very well integrated -- and there's no reason they shouldn't be. Compiz is a great idea, but it does only work when supported 3D hardware is present (or 3D drivers are set to work against all warnings of proprietary evil) and doesn't give any lesser-but-cool options -- just full-bore awesome or all-bore...bore. Worth thinking about. -------------------------------------- Get the new Internet Explorer 8 optimized for Yahoo!
