Here it is!
I wanted to slim-down the top box vertically, but I didn't had the time yet.It is not
final picture yet too.
Ah ah! Perhaps I misunderstood the previous mail.
By "ribbon" did you mean the band going from left to right on the top?
My understanding was for the border around the top box (the one containing "Welcome
to blah blah blah....").
I think without the top band it looks a little "empty", but it is just my
opinion. Would be good to hear from Slavek and Tim as well :-)
Yes, it will be
better with the ribbon.
Anyhow, thanks for the big effort so far. No need to rush :-)
Cheers

Hi,
Okay, now I think that it has attained a level where I like it!
I have been able to cut the background around the original ribbon much better, to the
point where it fits quite well with various backgrounds.
-The one with the natural green background is not a proposal - it is only to show that the
TDEUI has now full support for transparency and different background, as opposed to the
old one. But it looks so good that it is almost making the others looking plain, boring
:)
I think that it will be a good idea to replace the old TDEUI with this one for R14,
because all of the TDE and KDE reviews are always showing either Konqueror or the Control
Center. If reviewers sees no visual change at all, they will think that TDE has not
progressed from classic KDE 3.5.10, even if it is not true.
I would still like to have the advice or opinion of the other devs. Michele, can you
contact them, just in case they don't look at this message?
