The day when KDE 3 will no longer be viable is getting closer every day. Please tell me what problems you are having with KDE 4.3 so that we can get them fixed. KDE 3 is great because it is mature, configurable, and feature-laden without being bloated. I do not want to see that go to waste! It is the KDE 3 holdouts who have the attention to detail to distinguish the "little things" that make KDE 3 so great that are currently lacking in the KDE 4 branch.
#1 In 3.5 you could go to the KDE Control Center and find a nice structured menu of all settings in KDE. Everything was there with only a few tiny omissions. In KDE4.3 I wander aimlessly trying to find how and where to set these things. Fonts, colors, sounds, peripherals, samba shares, local network browsing... I could go on and on, but you get the point. These things are now hidden under various "cashews" and assorted places. Its kind of a mess. It needs consolidation again. #2 Also as the system comes, until considerable configuration is performed, you can get so little on the screen that you right away wish you had a 30 inch monitor. Why is everything so fricken big? Huge fonts huge icons, Dolphin takes vast areas of real estate to show very few files. People buy big screens to fit more on them. Not to have icons the size of snow balls. Can't there be a Theme named "Please don't waste my screen space" which which allows compact presentation? Mostly grown-ups use KDE. They don't need icon view in Dolphin to be the default. We know how to read. It would be fine if this configuration was ease, but see #2 above. #3 Was it really necessary to remove Kong Filemanager mode and replace it with a repackaged Dolphin just to prevent people from seeing how much more useful the old Kong was than the new Dolphin? Where are the Print System Browser, the Bluetooth Browser, the Audio CD Browser, that all fit under the Services tab? Those tiny little Pluses in Dolphin that you need to click to expand a directory --- Can't they be bigger? Shouldn't they be bigger? They were small in kde 3 too, but I would have expected some improvement. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
