Package	Description	License	wanted by	remark
Crystal window decoration	KDE Style	GPL	users	A modern looking theme for kde (currently available here)
gDesklets	advanced architecture for desktop applets	GPL	Gnome users	Eye candy for those who want it. available here
gnome-themes-extras	A collection of additional themes for GNOME, based upon the Smooth engine and librsvg. Amaranth, Gorilla, Lush, Nuvola and Wasp	GPL/LGPL/DSL	GNOME users	Currently available from http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms - src.rpm includes patch to make Nuvola's GTK 1.x theme work correctly.
KBFX	Alternative and themeable launcher-button/-menu for KDE	GPL	Me and probably more people	Just some nice eyecandy which makes the Suse KDE layout look more 'modern' in my opinion. When used with a Suse specific theme [1] KDE suddently looks really nice ;-) Have a look at a screenshot: [2] (I also removed the applet handles from the taskbar). available here
Look and feel	Linux Boot, login and KDE Style	GPL	users	I was a little disapointed that the new color theme is blue for OpenSuse. I liked very much the green theme in the 9.3 pro version. Also, the bootsplash theme was much more cool in the 9.3 than in the 10.x version, like KDE start screen and the login screen. I think that the blue theme could be kept for the OpenUse and the green for the Official release of 10.1. Also, please include somewhere in the KDE start screen and/or the login screen the version of the system (OpenUse 10.x ? Suse 10.x ?) to make things clearer to users. Anyway, the gecko is green after all. Please put a little effort on the visual aspect of the system (login,boot,kde start) because this kind of thing that could attrack users, and for me it was one of the criteria why I choose to use Novell Suse.--Romainp 08:49, 24 Nov 2005 (MST)
NuoveXT Icons	Icon theme that works with both KDE and Gnome	GPL	users	I would like to see this icon theme as the default one. Its super cool. So I hope this would be considered as the default icon theme or at least be provided as a substitute.
NuoveXT Icons	Icon theme that works with both KDE and Gnome	GPL	users	I would like to second this proposal -- NuoveXT is simply stunning. It gives the desktop a truly elegant/professional feel, and since it has Gnome analogues it would help SUSE retain a similar look-and-feel if the user opts to run Gnome. I have had non-Linux users ask me where I have gotten these icons more times than I can count.
Polyester	KDE Style	GPL	users	Polyester (previously named Polymer) is a highly popular KDE style and window decoration. It is based on Plastik, but it has less dots and various other improvements that many people might consider pleasant. Provides a greenish color theme that goes well with SUSE. (currently available here)
QTCurve	Unified KDE, GTK1, and GTK2 widget style	GPL	Me and probably more people	I was really diapointed with the look of GTK1/2 apps under KDE (esp. Eclipse) when using gtk-qt-engine. I tried QTCurve as an alternative and now all apps look great. I think it is worth the integration in Suse an an alternative or maybe replacement for gtk-qt-engine. available here
