For the 'flashy and full of effects' stuff we got around here I think we got all we need and even way more lol That mockup is kind of a reaction to that. Kde-look encourages people to be creative and it's cool. Unfortunately what I see here is most of the time the same thing with new colors, wallpaper, logo, whatever... And like I said in my previous comment, I'm totally fed up with the 'blue everywhere', 'logo everywhere' and 'icons everywhere' attitude.
Blue is a nice color (well it's a matter of taste but it's usually universally considered as a cool color). Some logos are really nice (some sucks big time however) and there are some really nice icons out there but it's not enough to put here and there some nice icons and a cool background to design something elegant, balanced and graphically coherent.
This mockup is certainly not perfect but it's an attempt to go in that direction.
I wish the kde team had that in mind when picking up the default windeco, theme/style, wallpaper, kdm theme, etc.
Default graphic choices for KDE 4 in most distros (if not 100% of them) are simply a pure disaster imho. It's not only a matter of taste. They could ask professional graphic designer if they have the slightest doubt. KDE4 is very promising and I hate to see it disfigured. It doesn't help people to see the 'inside' beauty of it. - Jul 21 2010

Be-Shell/Bespin by thomas12777 1663 comments
The best design I have ever seen for kde 4 so far. IMHO way ahead of Oxygen or what I've seen so far from it. It looks already very mature which is not the case of anything I've seen for kde 4 (including more or less official mockups).
A remark and question: why the drop-down menu saying 'Bespin' in front of 'Style' on the Styles window in front is lil bit higher than all the others drop-down menus such as 'Properties epsc' on the Print Document Window or the 'Selected color Window Text' on the Bespin config window ?
Font sizes look identical but however the menu and the small arrow are bigger and taller.
My only concern is: this looks great but shall we have apps looking that way with something close for the HIG ? I'm not that sure since there seems to be no clear strategy for the HIG right now or at least no complete HIG for kde4 at this very moment so people adapting kde3 apps to kde4 are a lil bit in the fog and reuse heavily kde3 HIG.
Two more observations:
1. the huge difference I see on windows is the overall elegance because imho the coherence in the colors used (when kde3 apps look more like a Christmas tree with lot of colors everywhere)
2. the font used. AFAIK kde3 (or most distros) use heavily Sans. This looks like arial or FreeSans (can't tell) and it looks WAY better. Would be nice to have some kind of kde font package with a few quality fonts like OSX or Win...
Just my two cents. - Oct 11 2007

It's the most awsome screen I have ever seen of kde4. I don't understand why the kde team haven't shown that kind of stuff before. It's simply beyond my comprehension.
That would speak incredibly louder for kde4 than anything we've seen so far.
Anyway, keep up the good work. - Jun 16 2007

Your theme would deserve indeed to be part of a next kubuntu release.
Thank you for such quality work. - Oct 05 2005

1 : the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement
2 : material (as books or a photograph) that depicts erotic behavior and is intended to cause sexual excitement
3 : the depiction of acts in a sensational manner so as to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction
This wallpaper may qualify for some people out there. It doesn't to me.
I don't like the pic but I do respect the author and his work.
I wish the 'oooh aahhhh porn here porn there' calm down a little when seing 'some' nudity.
As far as I know this site is not managed by monkeys but qualified people with a precise policy regarding the wallpapers uploaded. The less we can do is to trust their judgement. - Jun 30 2005
