Re: New features in KDE 3

I think it is already possible. Kicker can have a backround image already. Kicker's buttons can have "backround tiles" that show up behind the icons. You can change Kicker's icons with an icon theme, and you can change the appearence of the applet handles, buttons, etc. with a regular theme. You wouldn't want to specify the positions of buttons and applets in the theme itself, that is for the user to decide. The only thing that is missing is the XML to tie it together. Currently KDE's themeing capabilities are somewhat widely distributed in different places. You're welcome to invent an XML theme parser for KDE, since no one else has shown a desire to do so (although unified theme support is an often-requested feature).

Yes, the only think that seems to be missing is enabling other formats of kicker other than a rectangle.
This could even be extended to it's applets. Imagine how cool a circle clock or elipsed buttons for open apps.
With this and hability to use kicker as any format, things should be very easy, but I really would like to extend it more to something like Object Desktop.
