Hi everyone,
One thing I should say is that, of course, the icon theme has nothing to
do with the quality of the desktop environment. It doesn't add or remove
features to TDE. It might be my personal tastes, but when I boot in a live
CD from 2005, I see that things are now made in a more modern way.
Sometimes, it is more simple to do X thing and sometimes it is the same
old thing, but it doesn't looks like it is from 10 or 15 years ago.
Now, in general UI themes, there is less borders and separators lines
everywhere than back in the days of KDE 3.5.x. Compare a theme like
QtCurve or like Oxygen to an older theme like Plastik. We don't have to
use a theme that looks like what it was 12 years ago,
back in the Win XP and 2000 era. It should be noted that we are in 2013.
Just my opinion...

It seems to me to be a pity the way things are changed purely because are "old". For everyone who is scared
off TDE because it looks too
like
KDE3, I would venture that there will be at least
2 who will heave a
sigh of
relief that _someone_ doesn't think that
things should be changed
purely to
look "modern". If it ain't broke,
don't fix it!
