Yes and no. Any screenshots will still show the old KDE 3.x styles, icons, themes, etc. and mostly the same applications. Kicker, for instance, looks the same but only half works (it's going to die as plasma ramps up) and the desktop doesn't even get drawn at this point.

So not much to see visually, except that the libraries and applications are steadily improving. For example, khtml now has full (or nearly) CSS 3 support :)

When plasma comes online, and the new windecos, widget styles and icons all go online, you will get to see the visual differences. When kwin_composite comes online, we'll probably need videos though, as the animations are very difficult to capture in images :)

Maybe you know this already, or maybe I got it wrong, but I think that on page 21 of the presentation there's a small spelling mistake:

it says "SVG beauty en Usability". I'm guessing that "en" has to become "and"?

Regards,

...well, it crashed KPDF (including konqui) when leaving presentation mode, reproducably :===============O
additionally, the resolution and graphics are a bit screwed up!?
Still, it sparks desires for world domination previously hidden deep under the surface.. RAIIIISE KDE RAISE UP!

Well, sorry about the crash ;-)

The PDF is created by OO.o, which seems to screw up resolution no matter what I try. The screenshots are indeed supposed to look a lot better ;-)
