to whom might be interested ...

appears that the look of the kickoff panel (menu launcher) depends on the
Windows Style, not the theme settings or anything else ... actually only
the Oxygen Style provides a nice looking menu - but under the cost of
having this ugly freaky monster sized radio buttons and Checkboxes
everywhere

any other Style brings up an old looking flat 4 corner panel what is
exactly as in kde 3.5


thanks to whom tried to help !
