DoDonpachi Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I wish Microsoft could learn something from them about UI design. I'd have to respectfully disagree there. articuno1au and link6155 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmeunit Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I think it's look pretty awesome. Not a big fan of the "mixed" UI of Windows 8/8.1. I haven't tried 10 yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted March 8, 2015 Subscriber² Share Posted March 8, 2015 Ya me too. It's good not great, still has a hint of linux. A Linux-based desktop environment has a 'hit of Linux'. You don't say. Praetor 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_K Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Ya me too. It's good not great, still has a hint of linux. A desktop environment has a hint of a kernel? Well, I'll award you 3 warwagons for that joke for making minimal sense. Not to mention you get KDE for windows, so your comment makes even less sense than if you meant to put GNU/Linux.

simonlang Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Well the element OS is trying get away from the Linux Look and more to the Mac OS look. yep and seems to lack about 100 options. for me it feels simply too castrated. btw. you can create that mac os look in kubuntu as well.

PGHammer Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 that's a desktop! nice Could it be because KDE's design default looks so much like Windows 7 that it could almost be a clone? Let's be honest, folks - other than wallpaper and icons, KDE 4.x could be a Windows 7 clone. (Other than sheer minimalist fanatics, KDE is, after all, a favorite among Linux desktop users - including me.) How much did Plasma 5 move from 4? Even the default wallpaper didn't change THAT much. KaOS now includes Plasma 5 as the default (replacing Plasma 4). Now that I have enough HDD space, I'll be adding KaOS to my Linux VM library (Server 2012R2-based VM lab).

Really no. honestly, I've gotten myself stuck on windows because everything I do now, is on windows. If I could learn to break free..... Linux uses its own libraries and filesystem I know. the look is different. the interaction is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonlang Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 The next release, which is plasma 5.3 already, could see new window decorations: Decorations We may be looking forward to a new alternate decoration; originally based on Breeze and the result of a first-time hack gone too far, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonlang Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Does the widget letting my desktop clean ? [ in its upside ] ? Can I move the cashew all around that desktop ? by default you can move the cashew into all corners of your screen and also in the middle on the upside. this widget removes the cashew completely so in that aspect everything will be clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
