Hi all,
Just a few thoughts really.
I do hope that in Karmic there will be a new default window decoration created.
In Jaunty the taskbar, launcher and desktop all looked beautiful. Then you open a window :/
What happened?! In KDE3 windows looked fine, KDE4 comes along and they look like Windows NT!
It would be really cool if the Kubuntu team made a nice default window decoration that looks a bit better than grey grey grey.
It's not even just the window title bar at the very top of the window, in Dolphin or Konqueror the whole top half of the windows above the actual window contents is just grey with nothing separating the tabs, navigation bar or file menu. It looks terribad.
Also, the fonts look terrible in these top halves of the windows. Under Gnome, they look fine with Nautilus.
Try going on a website with form fields too, they render way too small so that you have to be a digital ninja to get the cursor to click in the fields without using the tab key.
I really want to switch to Kubuntu from Ubuntu but the fact that my desktop looks futuristic until I open a window and then it drops 20 years just prevents me.
I know that these things are however the KDE team made them, but surely until they fix them, the super Kubuntu team could design a theme that is as beautiful as the taskbar and desktop?
Again I know it is Gnome, but take a look at what Sun created for their OpenSolaris distro, "Nimbus". Now that is what a user wants to see when they load up their new OS, a fabulous looking desktop without editing hundreds of options just to get it to look nice!
/rant
But seriously, please consider it and you'd get more people making the switch!
Much love, Soggy.
