when i used opensuse 10.3 on kde 3.5.9 there was a osx menu style thing and i used it but on 11.1 there is no option on 4.1 or 3.5.10
and if i can get that back how would i get the xfce style mac taskbar thingy i have it for windows called objectdock what can i use?

Hi -

I was disappointed with how *ugly* Suse 11 looked, compared with earlier releases (including 10.x). Maybe there's a way to make it look prettier (I admit I didn't look very hard) ... or maybe it's just a ploy by SuSE's new owners (Novell) to force you to buy the paid versions (or worse, to abandon Linux for Windows!)

theacerquy what do mean exactly by os x style ?
Because as you know you still cane use kde 3 or kde 4 or xfce or lxde

Paulsm4 ugly or not that is personal .
Why should opensuse force you to buy the paid version or abandon linux for windosz
The paid version is to make you easy not burning a media and I do not know if it still so but with paid version you also buy a installation help

Although these days I mostly use Fedora 10 GUI LXDE
Why on my box it runs fast

Hi, theacerguy -

Please ignore Mr. Beauty-is-in-the-eye-of-the-beholder. I'm not sure what's happening with the "Community" versions of OpenSuSE, but the increasing lack of attention to "look and feel" is so dramatic in recent versions of OpenSuSE that I'm (almost?) convinced it's deliberate. And I'm not at all surprised that your "Mac OSX" feature was present in 10.x, but missing in 11.x.

Please let us know if you find the feature (perhaps as a download from the Novell site, perhaps hidden in some "magic directory" or GUI submenu).

Your .. PSM

i even looked in 3.x its not there if you have used ubuntu gnome its the top bit i mean realy it has eg konquerors menu bar if you have it running
and i thought it was as ugly as it could get on 11.x 10.x was so nice for now im stuck with 10.3 and i want that bubbly task bar that gets BIG when you hover over it cos i love mac and linux i have mac thing on windoze oh and i hope my power doesnt die right now we've been out for 3 days

11.x is quite ugly true and plasma is unstable i am using 10.3 for now
