I had read what you wrote, although I have also read it again since you asked
me to. You make me feel very defensive. You appear to be dead set on
destroying Trinity's distinctiveness and making it exactly like KDE4. There
are other lightweight DEs. Why pick on Trinity?
Sorry,
Alexandre, but Yuk! I intensely dislike that menu structure. In
fact it is one the (many) reasons that I stick with Trinity. I find the
new style menus ghastly.
Woo! There is nothing to intensely dislike in it. It is certainly not a
very big issue! I can clearly tell that you haven't read all I wrote, just
by the special way you reply to it. Please read it again... I am putting effort in doing a complete remaster of
PCLinuxOS and I make it
available to everyone, not just for me... It requires much more work to
make a remaster that works for everyone, not just for my own computer. I
could have kept it just for me, but I decided to give something to the TDE
community to thank them for making TDE possible.
I'm not quite sure what you are saying here. That you are not just a free
loader? That this may benefit some people I would not attempt to deny. But
it doesn't affect me. If I don't like it, I don't have to use it. If you
succeed in messing TDE up, it will affect me.
I recognise that sadly Trinity is probably buying me time, and that in the end
I shall probably have to choose from the other available offerings. But I am
not happy that you should appear to have the sole aim of making Trinity as
similar to KDE4 as possible. Surely one out of LXDE, XFCE, the various
window makers has a menu you like?
And as you say, your remastering is under your control. Make the menus as
nasty as you like. But I dislike KDE4, and the menu is one of the things
that I very much dislike - and you did ask.
