Have you heard of windeco and kde/plasms-themes? You can make KDE4 look as ugly and backwards as KDE3 if you like.
No you can't make KDE4 to look like KDE3.
Why not? The windecos etc are still available and the themes as well, you can even create a plasma theme that looks as fugly as kicker in KDE3.
I had a hard time recalling words such as backwards, ugly or fugly used to describe KDE3 3 years ago, so I took a look at http://web.archive.org/web/20070613103335rn_1/www.kde.org/screenshots/ to see if they were. They weren't, so I have a hard time understanding their use now.
What's not to understand about it? It looks old (clock's digits) and toyish (icons), the GUIs are crowded, the toolbars bloated and their content non- descriptive etc. The widgets on the desktop were CPU eating superkaramba hacks, there was no real transparency or naturla movement used in any of its parts. The menu as functional as a kitchen knife instead of a swiss army knife. The code was a mess, especially kicker et al. Even games were ugly and did not have proper SVG themes to adapt to different sizes properly. Lots of features missing compared to KDE4, kmail does not have customisable views, I can only display the content of one folder (working project) on my desktop, though I work on several in parallel, it does not use of my hardware e.g. GPU or multi-threading. etc Neither the internals nor the looks are something that will ever get into any art museum or hall of fame. And just to save you some time, I do not know whether KDE4's will, but in terms of code quality and looks it is better than KDE3, by far. Even to the point that it allows the user to make it look as if it was KDE3. So no matter how you argue, since it can look like KDE3 it cannot be uglier than KDE3, as stated by Илья Черных.
Most women don't turn from attractive to fugly in only 3 years, and they actually do age.
For me women and computers are completely separate things not compareable by any means or aspect, sorry, that's not my world. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
