It looks very Windows-like (XP shutdown, Vista Start Menu and coloring); and that’s not a bad thing. People like to feel familiar to something.
I know that most of that comes from KDE4 look and feel, but that doesn’t matter… what matters is that it’s nice and familiar :)
(and let’s not forget that software under KDE is organised in so much better way than in Win :D )
Very Windows XP-ish but i like the overall look. Im an Ubuntu Desktop user but I used FreeBSD for servers. Fibonacci maybe well the reason i will switch to KDE/BSD type desktop.
Cheers!
I like it. Looks ok, still like Gnome more. ;)
Hey! I don’t see anything. Do you know, that adobe flash is not availible for FreeBSD? … :-/
Beautiful.
@dum8d0g: linux-flashplugin7 can be made to work. Also, try swfdec. I’m using it now (under FBSD7/FF2) and it’s working great.
@dum8d0g: you can use WINE + a Windows version of some browser + Windows flash plugin
not the best solution, but it works under every BSD ;)
Soooo kitchy!
I’d rather prefer the Vista’s theme, and believe me, a lot is needed to make me saying that! :)
Well, this is the second effect of OpenSource, firstly intimidating for the noob, secondly transvestite. (it reminds me Debian and Ubuntu )
But why not…
