Please change Windows95 status bar on livecd

Postby Fargo » Apr 6th, '13, 00:37

I downloaded Mageia3 beta2 a few weeks back. I liked it a lot, but please do something to change the appearance of the Win95 status bar that appears when loading the live cd. I would be embarrased to show Mageia to anyone who has ever used Windows. That status bar alone really makes Mageia look dated right form the start. The KDE interface is beautiful once loaded. But the first impression is that WIndows95 looking status bar. Please do something with it. Round the corners, change the colors, make the bar solid. Anything would help, preferably all the above could be done. I don't mind having a status bar, but please try to make it look a little more modern than WIndows 95.

It is very hard to make everything needed fit on the LiveCD.

The more eye candy, the more space is needed.

It never irritated me, though, so I wouldn't even know whether this is the same on the LiveCD and the Live DVD.
If it is, you can open an enhancement request in our bugzilla to have it look nicer in the DVD.

Please read this first:

(I did not look whether anyone already filed a report about this issue, please check that first!)
