to me: Pros: it has a solid black background: this is a must in order to hope any smooth transition (you can always fade to the screen off color, the only hope to avoid flickering in some condition) Cons: yeah, a bit boring indeed, and the glow isn't super beautiful (would it be possible to have it blue without looking too tacky?) also i think it "must" be with the KDE logo, even tough I well know it is a very bad logo - Marco ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
