It looks old (clock's digits)
You can disable LED-like style, as I do.
and toyish (icons)
Which theme? I use slick, is it toyish?
The widgets on the desktop were CPU eating superkaramba
there was no real transparency or naturla movement used in any of its
Which widgets? parts I do not need transparency, but textures in the widgets like in KDE2 would be great.
The menu as functional as a kitchen knife instead of a swiss army knife.
Menu in KDE4 is bloated. To find something you need doing multiple clicks.
kmail does not have customisable views
First of all, file manager in KDE4 lacks the very basic functions such as spatial view.
The code was a mess, especially kicker et al.
This is a myth by those who did not understand it.
Even to the point that it allows the user to make it look as if it was KDE3.
It does not. Complete lie.
no matter how you argue, since it can look like KDE3
It cannot. In there someting like - Lightweight style, second edition - KDE Classic - Platinum style in KDE4? No, the only style ported from KDE3 is the ugly Phase, and even it not completely (there is no Plasma style for Phase widgets). The same situation with icon themes. Where is the slick theme? Where is the iKons theme? They ported only KDE Classic icon theme and also not completely: it does not contain all images KDE needs. One of the problems of Plasma is that its styles have very limited correspondence with widgets styles: you select one widget style and there is no corresponding plasma style and vice versa. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
