"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."

First, the screenshots are taken at a low resolution, thus the apps look busier than they are on a more decent res. Second, plastik or plastique isn't a very clean style. It has quite a few borders, lines etc by default. And it's pretty compact, looking more crowded than most Gnome themes which take more space with larger buttons etc (I like that more, btw). Last, the apps aren't finised, and still have exess buttons etc.
