I really like that look :) indeed, it gives the skrooge dashboard a very slick look ! I can't say I'm bothered by the background, as ivan says.
Anyway, thanks for this initiative, I'm sure it will help skrooge and other applications create great dashboards ! That being said, we still have a bit of work before having a usable plasma dashboard in skrooge, but we'll get there :) Guillaume Le 23 janv. 2011 23:20, "Marco Martin" <notm...@gmail.com> a écrit : Hey all, today i hacked a bit around graphical styling of the Plasma kpart, that includes making svgs and fixing the newspaper containment/kpart code where needed (as result newspaper sucks a bit less on the desktop, yay ;))... here it is: http://i.imgur.com/11ySf.png the style (there are still some glitches, is to polish it up) is in playground, the patches are committed just in part. The rationale is that the application dashboard for sure shouldn't look like a desktop at all (that is how would look definitely more dirty and more confising) it rather should look like a document with quick recap info. so yes, in that screenshot it looks like a friggin' website and that's exactly the intent ;) some important points: * the background is the same as the konqueror/kmail/etc "start page", *not* configurable (i think the plasma theme graphic used there would make more sense in those pages as well compared to the current old broken desktop theme) * the plasma theme has at the moment exactly 2 elements and uses where possible native widgets (the backgrounds will also use native colors with the new stylesheet support in Svg) * the newspaper has a big background for all applets (that is the main thing that makes it a "document" rater than "crome": that iage is not available in the default theme, so it will continue to -not- be there in an "usual" case now, apart from feedback from artsy people, my greatest concerns is the usage if soo big pixmaps (the wallpaper and the big newspaper svg background) that makes quite a memory usage, but i think from the final look it's worth it.
