Recently i've been playing around with defualt installations of both knoppix 3.4 (5-10 EN release) as well as the net install of Debian Sarge.
One advantage i see with Knoppix (aside from it autodetecting my video hardware and configuring X) is that in X Knoppix (while running KDE) smooths and shades/colorizes default X Widets (like the menu buttons used in mozilla-firefox) or GTK widgets menubars (like those used in Synaptic). With a default debian install the KDE widgets look fine, but any non Qt based widets, drop down bars, etc. are ugly and box like.
from my knoppix installation I managed to use apt-show-versions to produce a file of all the installed debian packages installed by default. From my guess I would think it was the gtk-engines-geramik and gtk2-engines-geramik. however i installed both of those and even tried dkpk-reconfigure on both fo them to no avail.
Can anyone help me with some info on how Knoppix manages to de-uglify these default widgets?
