Angel Blue01 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glowstick Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 - 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.

Clinteger Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 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.

Prince Charming Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 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.

CrimsonRedMk Member Posted February 24, 2008 Member Share Posted February 24, 2008 What exactly is the orange gadget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKer Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney T. Administrators Posted February 24, 2008 Administrators Share Posted February 24, 2008 What exactly is the orange gadget? I believe it is an "unfinished" placeholder for a gadget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokkolm Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I like it, especially the task bar. IMO, it looks much better than the default KDE theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
