Hmm... I think that the only problem with the current style is that it doesn't look too great with maximised windows. I've seen many people hinted by the simple logic of "how cool it looks" to keep the windows not not maximised unless really forced to, and I personally begun to do that myself with KDE 4. The root of this problem, IMHO, is that this situation unfortunately never seen in nuno's mocks, and in his testing, because he always uses rather large monitors. So it does indeed look gorgeous in his mocks and in his eyes with small windows, but you tend to notice this problem with maximised ones only after working for some time in a KDE 4 environment. There's too much contrast and this clashing gets to annoys you after some time. I started myself an almost white (where the amount of white is similar the design of my site, just to give you an idea) plasma theme some months ago to solve this problem, but then I didn't have much time and it remained as an abandoned stub on my pc... if people want I can try to give it a go and resurrect it. However, I really don't want to take over Nuno's direction on this field, which I think has been great until now, or, even worse, to step on his feet, it's just a suggestion for improvements. =) Bye, -Riccardo -- GPG key: 3D0F6376 When encrypting, please encrypt also for this subkey: 9EBD7FE1 ----- Pace Peace Paix Paz Frieden Pax Pokój Friður Fred Béke 和平 Hasiti Lapé Hetep Malu Mир Wolakota Santiphap Irini Peoch שלום Shanti Vrede Baris Rój Mír Taika Rongo Sulh Mir Py'guapy 평화 _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
