"Stephan Binner, a well-known KDE and openSUSE developer, has released a set of live CDs featuring the latest development snapshot of KDE 4 (screenshots). Unlike the SLAX-based live CD called KLAX, which he used to develop in order to demonstrate new KDE releases, his 'KDE Four Live' images are based on openSUSE. After a large, uncompressed live DVD released earlier in the week, a set of smaller live CDs (compressed with Squashfs) is now also available for download. Don't expect trouble-free computing with these early KDE 4 snapshots, but as demonstration tools designed to give KDE users an early taste of things to come, they aren't too bad. The first alpha build of KDE 4 is scheduled for release early next week."

See this screenshot of the Dolphin, the new default file-manager: http://arstechnica.com/news.media/dolphin4_oxygen-1.jpg

I'm no fan of the icons either. They're low contrast, and have no borders, making them quite fuzzy and difficult to distinguish from one another. The colour-palette is also quite limited, people forget that colour can be used to help distinguish icons (e.g. the home icon might be mainly red, next to green movement icons and blue+white view icons, making it easy to pick it out from a quick glance)
