In fact I'd like to see a category, setups (or whatever), "themes" if you must, with a selection of looks (including "traditional console"). I can't agree with KDE as I use Window Maker and don't want to see it left out in the cold (combined with Login.app it makes a FreeBSD box look very pretty indeed, just needs a login panel graphic). If there was a set of different "themes" (as packages remember) something like sysinstall could offer a menu to these people to let them pick a look - (special case existing package install menu). This leads to the "standard root setup regardless of window manager" mess that some Linux distributions attempt to solve but that can be ignored - this is FreeBSD :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
