Hi! Is it possible to return some behavior of KDE 3.1
and KDE 2?
My impression that some things became much worser with later versions of KDE.
Namely,
- They removed the 3D appearance of Kicker. First from KDE 3.2 they removed
the frame around the taskbar buttons and make the buttons larger (I would
say, too large). Next, from some later release they removed 3D appearance
from taskbar buttons, so they are not pushed like other buttons any more,
only the bold font shows which application is currently selected.
That would be a nice option.
- Is it possible to make an option to remove the thick separators from the K
menu, like it was in KDE 3.1?
Again, an option.
- In KDE2 when you press K button and then launch another application, the
menu does not disappear, this makes easy making screenshots
Could you not just launch the application, hit the K Menu, then use
the print screen button?
- In KDE2 when you hover over the quick launch items, the icons are enlarged.
Never used KDE2, but that doesn't sound like a bad idea.
- In KDE2 when you press "minimize all windows" button and then klick on a
folder on desktop, only that folder opens in a window. In KDE 3.5 all windows
restored.
That's basically what Windows does with the "Show Desktop", and it's a
good idea.
That should actually be default, it's easier. (make an option again?)
- In KDE2 the frames around names of items on the desktop are dotted like in
Windows and shown reliably: do not twinkle when you press mouse on another
place on the desktop and always shown completely. In KDE3 they twinkle and
sometimes shown only by half. The names of items in KDE2 shown exactly in the
center relative to icon while in KDE 3.5 the names often shifted from the
middle.
- The K menu in KDE 3.5.10 is often shifted when displayed first time after
reboot or changing settings. This depends on the icon theme used: all OK with
Crystalsvg but problems with Slick, KDE Classic and others
Never had this problem?
- I would also want see more exciting icon themes and Qt styles which one can
see on the old 200-2005 screenshots.
I'd rather have the new Qt4 styles, frankly.
