Re: Oxygen style/window decorations...
by Anon on Friday 11/May/2007, @10:57
I don't know when it is getting merged in, but it looks and feels very mature to me. You can see a clip of it here:

It's a huge memory hog, though - it adds at least 5MB to every app that uses it (and yes, I've accounted for shared memory) :(

Oxygen style tab box
by AC on Friday 11/May/2007, @11:46
I think it would be better if the tab box didn't extend all the way to the right, but ended where the last (rightmost) tab ends.

    I think it'd be better if the style was a bit more polished. Right now, it still looks a bit too... "big". I really like the work done on the Domino KDE3 Style, and it would be great if oxygen could borrow more design tips from there :)

        Polyester is also very nice.

          No. Much respect to the author but any hint of Polyester should be kept out kde4 at all cost. Ohh.. it dissapointed me that kubuntu picked it for feisty...

with kde4 four live, it's possible to activate the oxygen style with "kcmshell style"... i just tried it out: One thing i didn't like is that everything looks a bit too bright.. for me it's hard to actually "see" the scrollbar, radiobuttons etc., but maybe that wasn't considered yet. Apart from that, it looks pretty good! Especially hovering over the menu bar is a lot of fun :) Thanks to all kde devs, great work!

    I think that the oxy-widget style is coming along nicely but there are a few issues with it: first of all, buttons and other "active" elements of the UI are not highlighted as they deserve (worse usability), secondly I think it needs a little touch of color (you know, the blue in the aqua style ;)

      Yes, more color in the Oxygen style would be nice.

      I also don't like the scrollbar with its up and down buttons both at the bottom and with no arrows on drawn on them. Plus, they don't look connected to the scrollbar in any way. The Domino scrollbars look pretty good, though:

          I like Domino mostly because it has really nice smooth edges in _every_ single widget, and because it can be configured to look almost like anything. At the moment I am using a really simple look with it, much simpler than any of those screenshots in kde-look, and it looks easily more elegant than any style on KDE ever. Of course this is only my opinion, but actually I would like to see something like Domino as the default style of KDE4. Those videos etc. of Oxygen-style look quite scary imho, almost like the second Keramik: lots of animations, effects and bling bling, but style and usability are completely forgotten. It kind of looks like a tech demo.

Does oxygen use hardware acceleration?

Looks like a mix of os x with windows vista window boarders. KDE 3.5 fresh and colorfull current theme seems nicer.

    Are you kidding?
    Just because it looks like a Mix, is it bad?

    This look one hundrer times better than actual look.

    Congratulations Oxygen team!
