 Posted: Mon May 14, 2007 2:17 pm Post subject: Gentoo default look |
 |
|
Quite a lot of the current Linux distros come with a preinstalled default look for them (ubuntu/mandriva/etc).
Gentoo is probably one of the few distros that has quite a lot art for it, why is that, that there is no default look?
Even if u can change it afterwords, it will be good to see during gtk install or when u first boot to kde, that u are using a very specific distro and not a newly made 3rd class distro. Having a default look for gnome and kde is neighter hard to make, nor does take a lot of hdd/resources...
so what do u say having something like this on the next release? |

| Like everything else in Gentoo, its look is what you make it. There is no official look because you have so many choices. |

There is a branding useflag, wich will, for example change the splash screen of Gnome to a Gentoo version of it. I think nothing else should be forced upon the users. Most Gentoo users use Gentoo because it doesn't force you to use stuff like this. |
