Maybe you should get ShadowKiller, free from Unsanity. So you wouldn't have to live with shade... I personally love shading on KDE, and wonder why some people don't (yeah, yeah, personal preference) Thu, 04 Jul 2002 09:26:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? Maybe I'm not the only one, but I find Aqua quite... well, not my taste. I found this: http://conundrumsoft.com. Maybe Eugenia can review it?

But other than that, the haxie works well (except some crashes of the pref panel if I uncheck the "WindowShadeX Enabled" option)"

Sounds more like 3 serious bugs than 1 problem.

No need for a proper review from Eugenia, here it is:

Duality is neat. There are a bunch of them here: http://www.resexcellence.com/themes/

Duality worked fine for me. No stability issues. Duality and MetamorphX replace UI resources, rather than replacing drawing routines like Kaleidescope does. You can get some really nice themes for Duality, but many are just cheesy, as with all themes.

Personally, I was a big fan of Unlined Aqua in graphite mode. Some of them are really awkward to use, like the Platinum theme.

And for you sick bastards, there are even two Luna themes. Thu, 04 Jul 2002 20:18:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread?

I'm finding however a theme that is a crisp as QNX or BeOS...

If I were to choose between Luna and Aqua, Luna would win hands down (sorry). Fri, 05 Jul 2002 06:31:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? :And for you sick bastards, there are even two Luna themes.

I actually prefer the 'watercolour' visual style for XP (i.e. the one that's based on the pre-luna betas appearance) Fri, 05 Jul 2002 10:48:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread?

I like that, and used it for a very long time on KDE 3.0 until I got bored of it. The reason why Microsoft dumped that and went for Luna is that it has hired outside people to do the look&feel stuff of the OS. Thu, 11 Jul 2002 07:51:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments
