LOL!

I think the concept of the third sentence is just way beyond me!

It's like when people post in French, sometimes I sorta get it, and sometimes not at all.
Computer language is like that too, but I love to learn.

Now I'm thinking about how much I have learned.
In 1993 we bought our first computer, a compac.
We had dial up, by way of long distance, on AOL.

I loved it!
I crashed it all the time...I had no idea what I was doing!
LOLOL!


Sorry for going on so much, this brought back good memories for me.

Thanks!

OK. I'll try to simplify these things a bit further:

A desktop environment is the graphical interface. When you start your computer, this is what displays the icons, folders that you can point and click on. It's the look of your computer.

Themes and icons customize a desktop environment.

Windows offers one desktop environment based on version. Basically, whatever Micrsoft has programmed into Windows is what we get.

On the other hand, Unix-based (and derived) systems (e.g. Unix, Linux, etc.) has several different desktop enviroments for you to select when you start your computer. The most common ones are KDE, GNOME, XFCE, and Fluxbox (Flux). Here, I select which one I'd like to use at the login screen.

What I'd like to do is take the theme from one of my Desktop environments and apply them in other places--as a Windows theme and as complete sets on my other Linux environments.
