Before upgrading to Lenny my windows looked exactly like
they do on
my Ubuntu desktop at work (very clean).

Any advice would be appreciated.

What is wrong with it? On the screenshot, it's almost
identical to how
it looks on my screen, and it has never been much much
different with
these programs.

Maybe there is some problem with your monitor or the
frequencies the X
server uses?


Perhaps it is to do with appearance settings or themes? It
looks like what ever theme you where using might have been
dumped during the update? I believe the KDE package for a
selection of nice looking window themes is "kdeartwork", but
I am not a KDE user so cannot remember the exact details of
the top of my head.



Maybe when you upgraded your theme was left off. gtk2-theme-switch might
help you if it's your case.



I appreciate all the advice, but I know before I updated to Lenny on
this machine that it looked exactly like my Ubuntu 7.10 install. It
sounds a little nit-picky (and it is), but I'd just like to know why it
changed.

And when I said things looked "Cleaner" this is what I meant.

Thats a screenshot from my office (yes i know im using gnome there. Its
an old screenshot). Im using OpenBox and Kicker at work now just like I
use at home, and they look completely different. The window manager
stuff and the tool bar look correct but the applications inside do not.
I want my applications to look like my Ubuntu install (like they did on
a fresh install of Etch).

I more want to know how to change that appearance than anything. Its
not the appearance that bothers me, its the fact that it changed and I
didn't want it to.

Any more suggestions would be appreciated. Ive run through all the ones
that have come in so far.
