[tde-devels] Re: UI design review?

said bobsmith432--- via tde-devels: | I was reading https://www.trinitydesktop.org/development.php and noticed | one of the listed things that Trinity needed assistance in was UI design | review. What exactly needs to be reviewed in the terms of UI design? I | know people like to say Trinity looks outdated, and although that is | kind of true, the Breeze theme from Q4OS modernizes it quite a bit and | that could be used as a basis for an optional "modernized" theme. (maybe | during setup give the user the choice between the new modern theme and | the classic themes) Heaven forfend! KDE got to be the way it is because people wanted to fix what wasn't broken. TDE resisted this, thank goodness. The TDE UI is just fine. There's nothing outdated about it. There is a difference between style and fashion: fashion is what's popular at the moment, while style is eternal. TDE has style. Instead of doing a retread of the GUI, better that someone cook up a simple app -- simple being the operative word -- for creating themes. Then those who think TDE is outdated could make it look as fashionable as they want. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/
