[opensuse-kde] kde 4.6 looks like Win7 ??
Just trying 11.4 M5.. it looks like KDE is trying to emulate Windows 7 with the monochrome task bar look there.. why on earth for? :) I don't suppose I can get some color back thru some configuration? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

The idea wasn't to mimic Windows, the idea was to show a clear difference between system tray applets that live in the system tray, like networkmanager and kmix, and applications that provide system tray interfaces, like amarok and akregator. As for changing them, they are controlled by the plasma theme.

That assumption would be bollocks anyway because others had that look way before. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

In short: visual consistency.

Monochrome systray icons are used in gnome and OSX too afaik - and on phones and various other stuff - since long before MS Windows 7. And this change was made already in kde 4.5, i.e. six months ago. There's no clicky, clicky way to change the icons afaik. Actually you're the first one to complain about this. Most people do the opposite and complain that only the "workspace icons" are monochrome, whereas application systray icons still have colour. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Not really, I posted a thread from the KDE forums by people wanting to change it back, and there is also a poll on the forum with a bunch of people preferring the old versions: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?t=90106 I personally prefer the new versions, but this is not the first person to complain about them. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

A slightly retro opensuse Plasma theme with a look somewhere between KDE 3 and KDE 4 could make a lot of users happy. But I've never met an open source designer who wanted to make retro pastiches.

Can we add an option to switch or toggle between the two looks? -- Cheers! Roman openSUSE 11.3 2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop "http://counter.li.org" #179293 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Considering the icons are themable, I think it would be much easier to just release a theme with the old icons in it. Considering the option of changing the theme is available, I can practically guarantee developers are not going to put an option solely for this in. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Best to stick with the idea of implementing themes. However, I still prefer the new theme. Cheers!

Sure, just add some short cut while you create that new retro theme .... ;P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
