Especially since KDE asks at the beginning which style they want to use anyway... If we add a Debian Theme that is the default selection, users accustomed to KDE could always select the KDE default look at the first login...

Yep, the only useable KDE Themes i know are the "light" ones ;) I prefer Gnome2 for the very same reasons, that it hasn't got much eye candy (except icons with nice shadows ;) > > It could be as simple things as using the debian color > > that reddish tone?

Yep, it's a major drawback we don't have a discrete color - well, ok, that SuSE Green would be even uglier, but i remember having seen KDE Themes using that very color ;) Thats why i considered it for highlight uses only. Marking text with that ugly color is ok imho ;) Any better suggestion? I'd like to use dark red, but red is... redhat? Well, their screenshots doesn't suggest they use it for themes though... * Maybe we should put out a call for Artwork? Greetings, Erich
