KDE 3.0 Screenshots

    XFree86 supports the SHAPE extension. Have you never tried the round clock, or XEyes? Or any of the fancy-ass skinnable MP3 players? X has had support for that for many years. It has nothing to do with KDE.

  2. Re:KDE == Windows?? by imneuromancer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I like the fact that there is a solution (KDE) that replicates Windows functionality. It makes it easier for the transition from Windows to Linux. Given, not many people will every use that, but it could ease the tenstion of, say, a windows developer to linux.

    However, I don't use KDE and I don't like KDE because of this. I would rather use WindowMaker or Enlightenment or just plain sawfish. We, as the linux community, need a way to ease people to linux for the unwashed Windows masses.... but we aslo need "hacker" frineldy, interesting, fun, alternate interfaces for the Rest Of Us that want to experiement.

    I think the cool part of linux is this ability to be both conservative (KDE) and fantastic (E17... once it is out).

    So all you people dissin on KDE stop it. It is now what YOU want, but who cares? the whole ponit is CHOICE.

    Now, given, it would be nice if choice also meant working TOGETHER instead of bashing each other, as is the norm of KDE and Gnome....
