Yes, it will be better with the ribbon.

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?
