Maybe a little offtopic, but you got me curious. I used kde for the
first time on slackware, I don't remember which wersion it was, but it
was 7-8 years ago, and slackware version I had was quite outdated. I
remember learning how to use it (and how to use linux at all) from the
documentations and manual provided together with slackware. I remember
there was something about enabling zooming of quick launch icons that
was described as "something for mac people". I remember having it
activated and liking it. When I returned to kde, it was on gentoo and
the version was 3.5.10. I remember searching for this icon-zoom effect
and I was surprised when I couldn't find it. It seems that I used kde
2 on slackware, and couldn't find the function I was looking for,
because it was removed in kde3.
I wonder, how difficult and in which way, this feature could be
reimplemented into TDE?
a) TDE has taken code many of us worked on for
years and is taking it in
the
direction TDE sees fit. Not normally a problem, but in this case TDE often
does
a less than spectacular job of it. Diminishing someone else's work and
doing
the long-term users of it a disservice is not great, is it? Yeah, it
annoys me
when people use my software, which they still refer to as "kicker", with
someone else's changes to it which actually make it less stable rather
than
more, something I worked years on to achieve
Are you sure?
This is http://websvn.kde.org/?view=revision&revision=406411 your commit
after which the buttons on the taskbar in KDE 3.4 ceased to be visually
pushed, when using the Classic mode.
The key line in file kicker/taskbar/taskcontainer.cpp before:
Code: Select all
style().drawPrimitive(QStyle::PE_HeaderSection, p, QRect(0, 0, width(),
height()), colors, sunken ? QStyle::Style_Down : QStyle::Style_Raised);
after:
Code: Select all
style().drawPrimitive(QStyle::PE_HeaderSection, p, QRect(0, 0, width(),
height()), colors)
After reverting this change and restoring the removed parameter to the
function the taskbar works well again.
I also have KDE2's installed on my system and I find it both more stable and
visually appealing than that of KDE3.
For instance one of the changes in KDE3 was using table caption widgets for
the taskbar instead of the provided
with Qt special widgets for the taskbar. The KDE3's kicker is more simply
looking, has no visual zooming when hovering
over quick launch items, and the buttons (including K-button) do not respect
the Qt style. It also has a serious bug with
K-menu positioning with some icon and Qt themes.
Is that all improvement over KDE2? As I know you did
not work on the KDE2's
kicker.
