kde 3.2 look on fedora


Hi!!

I installed KDE 3.2 in my Fedora because GNOME is good, but very restrictive (I can't customize most of the settings I want to) and my surprise was when I saw that KDE looks very "gnomish" (like fedora's Bluecurve theme), I changed the default theme to the default KDE theme, I changed its behaviour to KDE one, icons... but it still remembers me a GNOME desktop and it's very different from the screenshots I've seen:

http://www.kde.org/screenshots/kde320shots.php

Is there any way to make my KDE desktop look like default one? (not Fedora's default, KDE's default).

Thank you very much!!!

PS: If not, can anybody tell my which distro is the one that appears in KDE shots (link provided)?

Style is Keramik, with Keramik window decorations. Default background for the taskbar, and transparent menu that's it.

What can't you get?

Well, how can I make a screen capture on Linux?
I'll try to show the differences if I don't manage to make it like I am saying. Thanks for your reply! :-)

Under the KMenu Graphics->More Programs->KSnapShot This will create a snapshot of your desktop.

Thanks for your help. Now Fedora is really similar of what I expected. KDE menu is really big (but even changing font name I can't make it similar to what I've seen).

That's a scrrenshot of what actually have now on my desktop (everythings too big in my opinion :-s)

Reduce the font sizes, you can do them all at once ( I think the default font is Nimbus Sans ).

Also you could also use the Thin Kermamik style and window decoration ( from www.kde-look.org ). As its a lower resolution.
