I've been running KDE on my laptop since I melted the old hard drive, and have been disappointed by the existing choice of themes. Hopefully this contest will change that, as well as hook up an open source group with some cash. Get gimpin' people!

IBM Frisco Theme by sharkey · 2001-04-20 05:16 · Score: 5

Where can I get this theme? It's supposed to scrawl graffitti across the desktop, in what looks to be bio-degradeable but non-water-soluble chalk.

All your Themese are Belong to IBM by phunhippy · 2001-04-20 05:18 · Score: 4

hey kids,

If you read the fine print(always fun i know) under the terms, you'll see that the themese you create become property of IBM.... intersting... contest to win money for your favorite OSS and you create a theme for an OSS program and you don't even get to keep rights to it..... nifty eh?
