Thanks! I like to keep my desktop simple. The icon set is called Snowish and can be found here on KDE-Look. - Nov 25 2010
Mockup for a KDM 4 Theme

KDM4 Themes by paralis 6 comments

No blur! Now it's really nice, just simple and stylish. That's what I consider elegant, unlike something flashy and full of effects like most people seem to do. E.g. Bespin. Blurring the edges would just make it kinda unprofessional and break the style. - Jul 21 2010
New Website Layout

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by falco101 34 comments

I don't like the black borders, they make the mockup look a bit unprofessional. Try something more subtle, make them 50% transparent or dump them completely on some areas and use just shadows instead. I would also like lighter gradients. Because of those things, the mockup looks a little too heavy for my taste. Otherwise it looks nice, colorscheme is consistent and not too overloaded. - Apr 30 2008

K3b Themes by carpelinx 4 comments

I was just listening to The Doors' Light My Fire when I saw this for the first time. - Dec 28 2006

Thank you for not naming it Kandido or something similar :) - Nov 19 2006
Systemtray icon for konqueror?

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by MMax 16 comments

I think systray shouldn't be used for that, but instead there should be a panel applet. I have tried (and succeeded) to keep systray as clean as possible, since then it's much easier to use. As another option systray behaviour could be configurable, but that would just make konqueror's configuration dialog even more cluttered. - May 08 2006
KIconDialog++

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by Linuster 58 comments

I would maybe suggest changing the name from Uncategorized, to non-kde or something like that to differentiate that these are icons not from the KDE packages.

I also think it should be called something else, but that's because "All categories" doesn't really include "Uncategorized" (IMHO at least). Or "All categories" could be called "All icons" when it would include also icons in "Uncategorized".

Otherwise this looks really nice, and most important, simplier than present dialog. - Feb 21 2006
NuOrDER Dekoration BetaOne

deKorator Themes by funki 9 comments

That looks quite much like Knifty with inverted gradient I made once. Actually I planned to release it with a (slightly) different name. Never bothered to although it looked really cool. But this one looks nice too :) - Feb 13 2006
Plastik Laptop

KDE 3.x Window Decorations by KMJ 20 comments

BTW, I have always thought Laptop is called that because it's easier to hit big buttons with a touchpad. Dunno if it's the reason, but at least it makes sense. - Feb 11 2006
Klearlook

KDE 3.5 Themes by p3001ee 58 comments

In Clearlook the buttons are a bit sunken. I would really like to have such a feature in this style too. BTW, are you planning to make Klearlook look exactly like Clearlook? - Nov 26 2005
Kbfx - Menu Improvement (Mockup) Opinion

Kbfx Startmenu by nookie 43 comments

I don't think there should be anything else than apps in the menu, as it only makes the menu more cluttered. This does look nice, but that grouping could be used for different apps. - Nov 17 2005
Fraqtive

Education Apps by mimec 22 comments

This is a great app, thanks! Though there's one thing I'm missing: some fractal programs has an anti-aliasing feature, which not only makes the fractals look nicer but also makes them more distinct. In example Gnofract 4D does this, and those small shapes looks much clearer. Could such a feature be added to Fraqtive also? - Nov 16 2005
MetaTheme

KDE 3.5 Themes by jezek2 59 comments

I think you should add some information about uninstalling the theme, I had to find the README file to uninstall it. How about metatheme-install --help? I also think that the biggest problem at the moment is the speed, or actually the lack of it. At least on my computer it takes _seconds_ to draw the most complex windows. - Oct 02 2005
Polyester

KDE 3.5 Themes by mart 395 comments

The widget style is quite neat, but after all, I would remove the Plastik- and Lipstik-like styles. One can have them, obviously, by using Plastik or Lipstik. I'm not a big fan of these whatever-you-want megastyles. Dump others, keep glass! - Aug 25 2005
WIP from GNOME

Various KDE 1.-4. Styles by zammi 8 comments

I _do_ get it. I knew the idea was to show Gnome's vector capabilities, but I was joking. Like funny things, you know. And I still think that dark grey doesn't match with those bright colors, but that's a matter of taste. I've heard that some people even like how Windows Vista looks like in those beta screenshots. - Aug 15 2005
WIP from GNOME

Various KDE 1.-4. Styles by zammi 8 comments

Wow, that looked like Windows. And before you people start a flame war: I meant that normally it's been Microsoft's job to mix different colors without a taste. - Aug 15 2005
Qlouds

QtCurve by freqmodn 34 comments

How about making a screenshot with Mac OS X -like "scan lines" -pattern? The ones in existing screenshots are a bit too restless for me. At least I wouldn't consider it as a rip-off. - Aug 11 2005
Lanthys Icon Set

Icon Sub-Sets by eriol 39 comments

These are just great, finally something that isn't blue and aqua-like. I think we can't talk about innovation as long as we are copying Mac OS X. - Jun 30 2005

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by SegFault 36 comments

This is really nice. Thanks for doing it, otherwise I would have lost my temper while trying to do it :D Oh yeah, I would be really happy if you could implement support for some kind of themes. - Jan 03 2005
A simple kpdf icon

Various Artwork by stic 5 comments

Added :) I thought too that red is associated with pdf files. I just wanted to make it as little as possible a Acrobat rip-off. - Sep 30 2004
A simple kpdf icon

Various Artwork by stic 5 comments

Thanks :) About the size problem, I don't think it looks any worse than other submissions on this site. The red square-icon is designed for the smallest icons (smaller than 48). By the way, the link to the preview picture on the left is 48x48 px. - Sep 29 2004

Are you still working on dotNET? I just love it, thanks for making such a great style :) - Sep 29 2004

KDE 3.5 Themes by xaerocool 23 comments

It would be GREAT if there was buttons like in these screenshots: http://www.winsupersite.com/images/reviews/2416pro_0023.gif
and http://www.winsupersite.com/images/reviews/2416pro_0021.gif
At least as an option. Of course I don't know how hard it is to code such a thingies, because I have never tried. - Aug 05 2004

Well, if somebody has a Jaguar and he really likes the look of Volvo, can't he do that? - Aug 05 2004

Yep, it doesn't convert every cursor. But I'll download these cursors, so I can get all of them :) - Jul 18 2004

Hey guys, have a look at this http://www.bwbohh.net/software/SD2XC :) You can easily convert CursorXP themes to xcursor format with it. - Jul 17 2004
Interesting idea for a KDE style

Various Stuff by bluelambda 13 comments

Otherwise it is great, but that blue doesn't fit in it at all. Maybe a lighter blue would be nice. I think KDE needs a style like this one. - Jul 04 2004
Lila (CHANGE OF OWNER)

Icon Sub-Sets by telex 86 comments

Wow, really nice icons :) It's a good thing people converts Gnome stuff to KDE, especially icons, because Gnome's icons are great (well, so are KDE's). BTW, what is that font you are using on title bar? - Mar 22 2004
KXDocker with REAL Transparency

KXDocker by stefano 154 comments

Thanks! Now it works :) - Feb 25 2004
KXDocker with REAL Transparency

KXDocker by stefano 154 comments

I have couple of problems with it:

1. When I click Kmenu-button it says: "Couldn't find the program 'kmenu'"

2. When I click that empty space next to the trashcan, it crashes. That's not very big problem though. - Feb 23 2004

Could somebody post a screenshot of it so we 3.1 users could see how it looks? I _know_ it doesn't look good but I would just like to see the animations. Like "over" and "not over" pics :)

That's a native window decoration, called Knifty. Dunno if there's a IceWM port of it. - Dec 15 2003

There are good directions for RedHat 9 on this page: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/ref-guide/s1-x-fonts.html
Don't know if it works on your distro :/ On my RedHat 7.3 it was possible to copy the fonts to right directory in KDE Control Center. - Oct 22 2003

Thanks, that helped :) Well it wasn't so big problem :D btw, window decoration works now on my computer, i'm running RedHat 9 :) - Sep 25 2003
Plastik

KDE 3.0-3.4 Themes by ceebx 233 comments

I updated to the 0.3.8 version of Plastik (I removed the old version first) and now I have a strange problem. Buttons, scrollbars etc. are flat, as you can see in this screenshot: http://koti.mbnet.fi/ap88/kuvat/plastik_pieni.png There were no errors during compilation. Does somebody know how I can fix this or is it a bug? - Sep 24 2003
