KDE The release of KDE 4.0 was not a smooth one, and left a number of users a bit disgruntled. Still, the release showed so much potential that it was oozing out of every pixel. KDE 4.1 improved significantly in many areas of concern, but it wasn't yet ready for everyone. With today's release of KDE 4.2, the KDE4 vision is ready to face not only developers and enthusiasts, but every users. We have taken a look at the release candidate for KDE 4.2, and we have a short interview with KDE's Aaron Seigo.

Yes. It looks like it's from the mid-90's.[/quote]
Nah. This is how UI looked in the mid-90's.
Windows 95 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Am_windows95_desktop.png
OS/2 Warp http://www.kernelthread.com/mac/vpc/images/os2warp3.gif
System7 (Mac OS 7) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Macintosh_System_7.5.3_screenshot...

[q]Edit: also, the theme doesn't fit well at all with the plasma things on the desktop. They look great, but the normal windows next to them look completely out of place.

I like the oxygen style, but I agree it doesn't really match the plasma theme.
And I don't like the window decoration style, so I switched to "plastik".
But plasma is beautiful ;)
