KDE Preview Theme for Shift Linux
Progress : - orange gadget(15%) / start panel(60%) / new icons(80%)
Customizable : : window border / trasparency
Note : there's no inactive window , just 2 types of border (buttons too) & sure blue impair start panel too

(original 1024x768 - minimized loose quality ; just added focus on section )

(sidenote: if i only would get shiftlinux to work on my pc. i download the iso,burn the cd but can't boot off it.)

Looks good, I just don't like the giant taskbar

BTW, I would prefer if the power and logoff gadgets were nested in the taskbar be default.

Consistency? http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...amp;p=589228194

- Too much metal gradients on the window decoration and other controls. It has a reason why all websites are going minimalistic Web 2.0 style. (--edit: Hint, it looks better and cleaner)
- The task bar transparency should be done away with (if you insist on it, make it a glass gradient, not what it is right now).
- If it's even possible to do so, make the task bar thinner by default.

I don't really like it...
The Shift logo button looks like it ate a balloon for lunch, and its all too glossy. Especially the inactive title bar, or whatever the blue one is. The weirdly placed gradient on the kicker looks horrible It's all just a mix of gray, transparency, blue, green, and then a weird gold. Definitely a bronze, though.

Don't like it. Seems like transparency for the sake of transparency, a weird selection of primary colours, and some gray that isn't helping it. Taskbar seems a bit on the fat side too.

What exactly is the orange gadget?

Like everything except the background, way too much going on. Makes the whole desktop look messy. I'm afraid I prefer the default KDE 4 theme, looks much more clean but has had a lot more work done on it than the shift one, as they've a huge team. All this is just IMHO though, I hope it ends up successful and popular - KDE 4 rocks so the more work contributed the better. It desperately needs a selection of diverse themes as the ones currently aren't amazing.

I believe it is an "unfinished" placeholder for a gadget.

I like it, especially the task bar. IMO, it looks much better than the default KDE theme.
