KDE KDE 4.0.0 has been released on January 11th, after a number of delays; the months preceding the release, the KDE developers tried very hard to downplay expectations. KDE 4.0.0 was just the first release in the KDE 4 series, and such, should not be seen as the best possible representation of the KDE 4.0.0 vision. So, when I installed KDE 4.0.0 on my Ubuntu Gutsy installation last Friday, I knew what to expect: KDE 4 Developer Release 1 (yes, I am a BeOS guy - how did you know?). Read on for a few quick first impressions.

Typos fixed, thanks guys.

Where are these bold fonts? I don't see any in my install.


Erm...

And none of those can be altered in KDE 4.0.0 (or in 3.x for that matter). Obnoxious.

Oh yeah, completely didn't notice. Probably because they're mostly in configuration dialogs that I really don't make a habit of looking at very often. I agree that the configure dialog page titles really don't need to be bolded. Nothing to get furious about, but different strokes I guess..

Bllaah...

The screenshot isn't bad. The text in bold is supposed to be in bold. The issue of font-size is a different thing though.

But of course, what would you know about typography.
