I went there and they have an amazing number of themes for any window manager. Now I have another problem. My kde doesn't seem to have a theme manager! In fact, when I went to the kde control center, it opened up the window, but inside it was empty. I also went to the main menu, settings, desktop, but no themes. Kdebase is supposed to contain the theme manager. What's going wrong here? -- Best Regards, Joseph You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm. Colette.
