What I observed in the videos is that in general (for Mandriva and also SUSE) quite a lot of more fine tuning is needed. For example all the listed plasma widgets, which are available by default look to me like a random mess.
Just because some developer liked it, it should not be installed by default. We should rethink which applets are really use full for most users and don't install the rest. That would IMHO make the desktop look way more professional and people get the impression that they can actually do something usefull with the widgets.
Hey,
just a suggestion:
We all know about SUSE Studio, right? Why not creating a simple KDE live CD and set *there* the Mandriva patches at default and give it some people to test?
If the feedback is good, we could see if we want to stuck with the old or if we want to change.
thanks, Sounds reasonable to me. I do like that Mandriva is willing to break from the flock and distinguish themselves in such a fashion.
On a side note, one thing I always thought really sensible is that they always use a different Window Decoration than the Oxygen one. The Oxygen one looks fine until you use Firefox, Thunderbird or a few other apps; then the lack of gradient on the background makes the decoration look very ugly... part of why I'm quite fond of QtCurve. Though setting QtCurve as default is generally regarded as not an option since it does not perform as efficiently as Oxygen. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
