KPDF icon

I am against adding a magnifier. A magnifier is often used for the zoom or find actions. Not for a view action.

And KPDF is a viewer application. - Oct 01 2004

Would be great if you could integrate somehow with Taskbar v2 (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=16261) to use a common repository of applikation screenshots.

Currently both apps are taking screenshots. I think it would be great, if kompose could simply use the screenshots from Taskbar v2. - Sep 29 2004

Taskbar v2 (flat + thumbnails)

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by lucher 201 comments

Another problem is that your taskbar does not support Drag n Drop. You know, when I want to dnd a file form one konqueror windows to a different window, which is hidden, the classic taskbar allows to drag the file to the taskbar, which then brings this window to the front and then you can drop the file in this window.

This does not work with your taskbar.

But anyway... this problem won't hinder me from using your taskbar. It may just be something that needs to be implemented, if your taskbar will be included in KDE. - Sep 24 2004

The problem when you use Window Background color ist, that the text becomes invisible, when you display the buttons on hoover. On the buttons, the text should become the default text color again.

And then it would still be nice to have a possibility to remove the shadow, when it's not needed. - Sep 24 2004

Hm... at first I was sceptic, but after installing it... Yeah! The new shadows are looking way better.

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by lucher 201 comments

I really don't want to bitch around, especially since you are doing a great job.

BUT... First you said, that you don't want to allow someone to change the color for consistency and then you add the shadows, which even can't be disabled (or I'm just so dumb and can't find the option.

But with this shadow it looks very inconsistent and disturbing IMHO (others might like it however). So please make the shadows optional and simply allow the text to be drawn in a different color, like it is possible for desktop icons and the clock. - Sep 23 2004

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by lucher 201 comments

OK, I don't use the transparent menu applet. But I use the clock applet, where I can adjust the colors.

I don't need any funky shadows. A configurable color for the text is just enough. - Sep 21 2004

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by lucher 201 comments

This is great. but I have one major problem: The font color should be configurable. E.g. if you have a dark background and a transparent kicker, a black font is hardly readable. - Sep 21 2004

I guess the splash screen should have some transparent backgrounds to give it a form that is not simply rectangular.

Well, this would mean that the splash screen currently could only be implemented on X11R6.8.0.

KDE 3 Color Schemes by Yaba 4 comments

1.) Start a konsole with the command (e.g. to watch the /var/log/messages file)

kstart --skiptaskbar --skippager --keepbelow --alldesktops konsole --nomenubar --notabbar --noscrollbar --noframe -e sudo tail -f /var/log/messages

Note that this examples requires sudo to be set up properly.

2.) Move the window to where it should appear.

3.) From the context menu of the titlebar select "Advanced -> No Border" (and I also have checked "Advanced -> Keep Below Others).

4.) From the KMenu select "Save Session". If "Save Session" is not available here, first open the control center and go to "KDE Components -> Session Manager" and select "On Login -> Restore manually saved session."

Next time you login the konsole should appear as you've left it before.

NOTE: This requires KDE 3.2.x - Sep 09 2004

KDE 3.x Window Decorations by jrch2k 356 comments

ASSK is not a really good name. Not only because of the first three letters, but more of what the acronym stands for: Advanced Skin Support for KDE. That's not true - it's just for KWin. And well... Is it really 'Advanced' just because it's a generic theme that uses Pixmaps for easy customization? No doubt - it's a great thing, especially since IceWM themes are pretty outdated with limited capabilities. But what makes this advanced? There is no big new functionality. (Well, I hope I can make myself clear without annoying you, which is really not my intention).

The next thing is 'Skin Support for KDE'. It sounds like it skins the KDE desktop, but it just skins the window decoration.

I would suggest a different name. What about KwiP - Kwin Pixmap theme?

Or what about Khameleon - since it changes the skin of Kwin like a Chameleon? - Sep 08 2004

I guess you have put a lot of effort into making this style transparent, so I hope you don't mind, if I request the following: The style is also great in a non-transparent mode (like it is faded the borders by 100%). However I am afraid that in this case there is still some overhead. What about a fork without transparency that offers more performance? - Sep 07 2004
