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.
- Is it possible to make an option to remove the thick separators from the K
menu, like it was in KDE 3.1?
- In KDE2 when you press K button and then launch another application, the
menu does not disappear, this makes easy making screenshots
- In KDE2 when you hover over the quick launch items, the icons are enlarged.
- 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.
- 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
- I would also want see more exciting icon themes and Qt styles which one can
see on the old 200-2005 screenshots.

Again, an option.
- In KDE2 when you press K button and then launch another application, the

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

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?)

I'd rather have the new Qt4 styles, frankly.

Very notorious one. Makes most icon themes unusable for me. Also
depends on Qt style (in CDE style for example this problem appears with the
themes with which no problems in other styles).
Maybe this is because some icon files have incorrect dimentions or format
specified. If to remove some icon files fron an icon theme it is possible to
get rid of this bug. Another workaround is to use alternate K menu applet.

I think the menu button needs work. By default it should stand out as
something that stands out from all the other icons, much like in
windows(which is an unfortunate comparison but...).

Well, I personally love the "elegant" button style. The bolding of names
or
shading of icons and letters to indicate which apps are open, in background
or foreground is unmatched by most DE:
Active - Bold font, icons not shaded
Background - Regular font, icons not shaded
Minimized - Regular font, icons and font shaded
This makes it very easy to know the apps state at a slight glance, which is
more than I can say for Gnome/XFCE:
Active - Regular font, icons not shaded, pressed button (is ok)
Background - Regular font, icons not shaded, no button, which is what I
think you mean by "2D" (also ok)
Minimized - Regular font, title between [ ], icon shaded (this, to me needs
work on their part)
This makes it harder to identify which apps are minimized at a glance, since
you have to actually read the names to look for the [ ]s.
Still, in KDE 3.5 you have the "classic" option which gives it some 3D look,
although I admit it is not great and the select app button should not be
slightly darker but:
Active - Look pressed, non bold folt, slightly darker button.
Background - Normal button, normal font
Minimized - Normal button, icon and font shaded.
To me this is suboptimal and there's no feedback when you're hovering the
mouse icon over the buttons. Transparency is not optimal, to me, but some
people like that mode and it is kind of decent in 3.5.
I guess the look you describe can be made very nice with some work and may
be worth pursuing sometime.
May only complaint with elegant is that perhaps there's a way to make the
active button standout without using bold font, which is not so easy to
read, but it still is so functional that it doesn't feel worth changing.
Perhaps because the dark font stands out so much on the light theme I use,
compared to a pressed button or a colored one. What makes elegant even
better is the feedback of something happening in a background app is first
shown by blinking a colored button and then by having it stay fixed at that
color after a short time - this to me is remarkably well done. This would
probably conflict with the use of a colored button for the active app.
I have tried many themes in KDE 4, while pondering a migration to that but
have been left disappointed not just by the taskbar but by the overall DE.
One or two themes did a good job of transmit the state of the apps but they
were far and few.
Please see the screenshots for details on my current config. I use a left
vertical icon sidebar, for years now, which is similar to Ubuntu's unity.
That is also something I miss in KDE 4, since you can't configure panels
with such flexibility. With screens now having grown a lot in width, it is
probably something work exploring.

I guess, for others it can be useful. The most logical course would be
to make either behavior an option.

I find this irritating too. Yet the recent responses this behavior. This discussion is a great example
of
the either-or
mentality adopted by many programmers. Somebody
decides which method is
preferred and the remaining people suffer.
The solution is obvious: provide both options and let
the user decide.
Perhaps an enhancement request against this behavior
should be filed?
