Hi friends, Our company is evaluating KDE/Linux combo for our desktop replacement. We need PIM app like outlook and are very happy with groupware progress. We could move on to kde right now but we decided to hold on a bit. We were checking PIM and is looking very good. While seeing screenshot of KDE Adress book (3.2 CVS) we were so impresed we couldn't help our self but to check all of PIM programs. We were trying to make look Korganizer a bit nicer but thru settings is quite hard + doing it for 100 desktops is a bit of pain. So we made a suggestion just to see if anyone is interesed in it, and we would like some advice how to do it. Thanks for your time & tell us what you think.
Cheers, Gasper

I changed forward button, I like it more :), However check this out: http://pim.kde.org/img/screenshots/CVS-KAddressBook/kaddressbook1-cvs.png
Now I guess you see what I'm talking about and why we need a chage, Korganizer would fit better with the rest of PIM progs.
update: Third screenshot is a muckup by All loved Eugenia, you can find original screenshot here: http://korganizer.kde.org/images/screenshots/event.png
Quoting Eugenia:
"I am for simplicity, so I will have to ask: is there a need for 8 menu
items? It sounds too much for an organizer.. Also, how often people use
printing with the app to justify two printing icons? And what the "save"
icon does exactly? I thought that everything is saved automatically when
they are edited, or at least, they should be."

1. the white background could be an image and all of the events or todos would be semi transparent, think that would look very nice
2. now if you double click an event it shows the editing thing but what if it would bring up something similar to planner, like a nice thingy to edit everything there is to edit about a project...
Actually I kinda miss that, it would be useful to have an project and a day planner in one application

would it be possible to somehow incorporate the plan for today into the wallpaper?

hm, i already have got an idea about that problem, since it is so easy to design just every setup-dialog of the whole Controlcenter (or its single kcm-modules) in a diffrent, (already known!;) , convienient style !
thanks

Although it looks nice, I do not think that this design is very practical.

Yes, I've got an idea: put this under the 'KDE improvements' section, not the 'Wallpaper 1024x768' section.
sigh.. :)
To make it even more clear: you've posted in this section:
http://kde-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=wall1024
You should post it here:
http://kde-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=improvements
That's not too hard isn't it? :P
Think about what kde-look.org would look like if everyone would post their system sounds under screensavers, splash screens under X11 mouse themes and icons under wallpapers..

1)Your design looks more like website. Actually it would be quite easy to implement it using KHTML, but that would require changing good part of the GUI, and I don't think that would be the best solution.
2) The other solution would be to change the widget that is shown for every appointment. I cannot recognise the widget that they use currently, so it's probably home-made, and therefore could be easy to change. If they had used buttons for example, the shape would be subject to the style, but it's not.

Now we only have to get rid of the terrible calendar (buttons don't fit - KDE programmers should really be somewhat more creative) and those ugly splitter bars of course. :P
Oh, and by the way: this isn't a wallpaper ;)
