KDE 4 Screenshots

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the eye-candy dept.

carlmenezes writes "Screenshots of the upcoming and much talked about KDE 4 have appeared at Planet Diaz. They include screenshots of the control panel, system tray, tabbed views, music and mail views, plus a mockup or two. I don't know what the Gnome guys are up to, but KDE is starting to look seriously cool."

    And the three "screenshots" that are supposedly of KDE are actually mockups from KDE Artists not actual screenshots of the dev version!

    If it is all mock-ups it is because there is no such this as KDE 4.0. Work on KDE 4.0 is currently happening on library level, porting to QT4 is still under way. There won't be KDE4 any time soon. The UI work (desing, proof-of-concepts) is happening in parallel to the library development but does not yet constitute part of what could be called KDE4.

    My mistake, one of the screenshots certainly is from gnome. but
    http://img460.imageshack.us/img460/8478/desktop1vn 1co.jpg is definitely KDE.


    Uh, that's a mockup, not a screenshot. Seriously, there's not much to show at the moment, the work on KDE4 is concentrating of the libraries and porting. There can't be no screenshots of some whiz-bang KDE4 GUI, because that GUI does not exists. I bet that if you could get KDE4 to compile and run, it would look 95% identical to KDE3.5.

  5. There are NOT screenshots! by 10Ghz · · Score: 4, Informative

    I hate to rain on your parade guys, but these are NOT "screenshots" of KDE4, and I have no idea why the admin of those forums (who posted the pictures) claims that they are. These pictures are mockups. Not screenshots but mockups. Many people have ideas what KDE could look like, and many of them have created mockups to demosntrate their ideas. There are many KDE-related forums/websites that are full of such mockups.

    There are no interesting KDE4-screenshots to show because there's nothing to show really. The work on KDE4 is going on at the library-level at the moment. The actual GUI (if you could get it work that is) would propably be almost identical to KDE3.5.

    Move along, nothing to see here.
