KDE The KDE Projects is announcing the third beta of its future KDE 4.0 platform. "This Beta has mostly been focussing on finalizing the design of the libraries in preparation for the release of the KDE Development Platform. Yet, many user-visible changes have gotten in as well. While new features and usability improvements were added, bugs were found and fixed in KDE and the stability of Beta 3 has improved much compared to the previous Betas. With the third Beta, the KDE project has begun to finalize KDE 4.0."

It's as horrible as it looks, and no, luckily for us all it's not final. Plasma (part of which is the taskbar) still is going through a lot of work.

I agree. And I hope the taskbar is changed before the release of 4.0. In screenshots where a lot of windows are open, it looks very cluttered. And without clear dividers between each 'button' in the taskbar, I think it would difficult to quickly find the one you are looking for.

the taskbar is really still open for major changes, as it's part of Plasma.
