I saw in on another linux distro the running tasks separated by the panel in the top of the screen! I use KDE 3.4 with Mandriva 2006 could somebody please tell me how could I do that, I found that very usefull!
bah sorry i completly mis understood, thought you meant some sort of process manager, that can be achieved by adding a new taskbar (right click on default KDE menu i think) then going into control centre>behaviour change to taskbar in the dropdown menu, then set it's position at the top
That desktop looks positively ghastly, it's like a bad implementation of winxp

A Window Manager/Desktop Environment is not the same as a distro. Any WM will run on every distro.
Ok I managet to get it work!
I know that a WM works on any distro...

KDE has transparency built into some of it's theme sets, i think it's keramik, or plastic that is the one i use for transparency. Then you set the properties in control centre
It's just KDE settings witch made the menu and the panel tranceparent, the gadgets on the desktop are superkaramba themes includink that one that shows the current song and album cover from amaroK! I also downloaded Crystal-GL border theme witch mades the window borders tranceparent and adds some shadow effect as you can see here: http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j2...6/desktop5.png
but it needs 3D acceleration... I also tryed to make the windows tranceparent but it seems wreely bugy: I use Keramik theme and it's just keeps crashing...
