Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by blurymind 32 comments
I was only commenting on the concept of service menus and how I thought they could be presented to the user in a less cluttered and more flexible way.
Maybe I'll post it as a KDE improvement or KDE4 Brainstorm entry on kde-look, if I find the time. - Apr 07 2006

Wallpapers Kubuntu by soxofaan 3 comments
But I'm not sure it's a good candidate for a *default* wallpaper. It has rather high contrast and default wallpapers should be more easy on the eyes. Maybe I could make another version where the "Kubuntu" takes less screen estate. - Apr 06 2006

The second screenshot for example shows 4 Kim entries on the second menu level (under "actions") and 14 (!) entries on the third level. Furthermore you have a "Compress" menu on the first menu level and tar and zip options in the second menu level. This is clearly the wrong way to go from a usability point of vieuw.
IMHO it would be better to prune the service menu tree and offer just entries for general actions (like "image processing", "compression", "audio conversion", "uploading"). These actions would invoke a *lightweight* dialog box/frontend to the possible actions the users would want ot perform: resizing, cropping, fileformat, jpgquality, target url, ...
This would also be more flexible, because the user is not forced to use predefined settings and combinations (sizes, quality).
Of course some predefined settings/templates would be nice so you don't have to click to much (that's the point of service menus after all). - Apr 06 2006

My approach seems to have some problems with shared memory and percentages not adding up to 100%.
I think karamTop can inherently do a better job. - Nov 04 2005

They get in your way when you don't need them
(mainly at startup, when you just want to get something done)
and you can't access or regenerate them when you need them and they're gone
(e.g. when you have some time to fix something).
Also chech law 8 of the Laws of Interface Design
by Jason Spisak at http://www.symphonyos.com/laws.html
(the other laws are interesting too).
Another reason why I think copying the windows way
of messing with the user/computer is a bad idea:
important system notifications are meant for the root user,
while the regular linux/kde user is (should be) non root. - Jul 24 2005

If you only want the fonts bigger, you can do it yourself: look for "fontsize" in of topmon.theme and topmon.py (for bigger fontsizes you should also lower numberOfLines in topmon.py)
If you want the whole widget bigger, I'm afraid I have to disappoint you: I don't think I will find time to do that. I've spent already more time on topmon than my girlfriend could bear ;). Sorry - Mar 25 2005

How long did you let it run (maybe it was just a startup thing)? What happens if you run top on the commandline in non interactive mode like in my karamba theme: "top -b -n1"? - Mar 14 2005

And why did you overoad it with that many text? I'd like a more clean wallpaper.
enough questions, keep up the good work - Jan 11 2005
and I think the reflection of the word "linux" on the right is not right ;-) since the mirroring floor isn't horizontal? - Nov 09 2004

PS: Even outside the anti MS battle I dislike the unappropriate use of comic sans (IMHO using comic sans is _always_ unappropriate). For more info see http://www.bancomicsans.com. - Apr 01 2004

How did you manage the focal blur? With the build-in functionality or by postprocessing in gimp? - Feb 04 2004
