Tuesday, we reported that the KDE project had released the first beta of KDE 4.1, the release that is supposed to be ready to replace KDE3 on normal users' desktops. The information and marketing speak in the press release sure was promising, so Ars decided to take the KDE 4.1 beta out for a spin.

I don't know about that. I find it very soothing looking. Nothing brash looking takes over the screen, and the looks that they've chosen just seem to flow. I've been using 4.0 for a while, and many people who have never used Linux are impressed with its looks/usability. With 4.1, the artists seem to be making the tweaks necessary to really make KDE pop (in my humble opinion) If it really does seem that bad to you, maybe you could help with the creation of some themes (the KDE site had a contest not too long ago for Plasma themes). I'm not much of an artist myself, so I couldn't do it (on top of that, as I've stated, I like the way KDE 4 looks, especially 4.1). Anyway, to each his own. Take it easy.
