Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 7th Mar 2007 22:32 UTC, submitted by twenex

The KDE 4 release team started a discussion about a possible release schedule for KDE 4. Of course nothing is set yet but the topic is now hot and some interesting problems and point of views come up. In other but related news Oxygen hit the mirrors, or better, kdelibs.

Redesign of KDE

I hope that KDE4 will include completely redisigned looks, and I'm not talking about icons or themes.

There are too many poorely designed elements in KDE3, and I honestly hope that someone will go through those issues before releasing KDE4.

To name a few: elements(tolbars, menus, windows, tabs...) spacing and placing(vertical tabs..), font sizes in proportion to elements(look at the taskbar o_O),...etc.

This is not bashing just hope..

Well, most of these are being redesigned. New widgets are being introduced, new things tried... So many of these will probably be improved.
