For those who can't read Polish, the author was very happy with many new aspects of KDE 4.0 (such as Oxygen) but discussed a few things that could especially see more work for later KDE4 releases (I translated the major things in the list, sorry in advance if I got anything wrong): *KDM hasn't really been touched *More oxygen windeco configuration would be nice *No way yet to change the size and position of the bottom panel *No ability to change the position of applets on the bottom panel *The grid of icons isn't very flexible yet in terms of size and spacing *Few config options for Phonon *Not enough options in System Settings yet. *A lot less effects in KWin than Compiz (my note: but at least KWin is more focussed on useful effects than just plain bling, though a cube would be awesome). As you can tell, these were pretty expected and understandable omissions, given that 4.0 is the foundation release and the developers are spread very thin. It'll be cool to gradually see all these things drop off the ToDo list as KDE4 enters later releases. Great work people!

My main one concerning KWin is that I really want to see the group-and-flip plugin ported from Compiz. I can't stand compiz, but that would be very nice to have for KWin. [ Reply To This | View ] Re: Polish review by Vide on Wednesday 09/Jan/2008, @01:09 I think that the the only "real" complaints are those about KDM (which is a pity it hasn't been touched, but I understand why) and Plasma issues (which are going to be fixed in the future). the "not enough options" on the other hand is a good thing, IMO :P [ Reply To This | View ] Re: Polish review by ciasa on Wednesday 09/Jan/2008, @11:39 not _enough_ of anything is, by definition, a bad thing. I would assume what you really mean is that fewer unnecessary options cluttering up the windows, which is a good thing.

Hopefully somebody will write a plugin for compiz, or port the rest of the features from compiz over... KDE 4.0 looks gorgeous for now.. Very cutting edge. and - dare I say - Web 2.0 :D [ Reply To This | View ] The Fine Print: The previous comments are owned by whomever posted them. ( Reply )
