Hi everyone,

we want to redesign the YaST Control Center. Therefore we are looking
for a radical new design.

This is your chance to share your ideas regarding YaST Control Center.

Please feel free to contribute with mockups and (unconventional) ideas

Thanks,

It would be nice if there was a mechanism for other configuration
systems to at least be started from YaST. Like gnome / kde / compiz
configurations. Not to duplicate them. But at least to find them. I am
sure there are many more config programs that can be located. Perhaps
this should be a YaST module more than any change to YaST itself. But I
think it is a missing feature. Something simple. Just a description of
what the config program configs, and a button to start it.

Those are user-level configurations.

YaST is a SYSTEM level tool.

If those configuration programs were invoked from YaST,
they would only change root's configuration -- they
wouldn't change diddly squat for the normal user.

And frankly, giving newbies the idea that a SYSTEM
set-up tool should be where to go to change a USER'S
customizations is just plain backwards.
