About locking dockwidgets, I think I agree....@Fri13<br />About locking dockwidgets, I think I agree.<br />Actually its pretty much what amarok does (except that there is no toolbar locking, cause there is no toolbar).<br /><br />K3B also have dockwidgets locking (which unfortunately does not look so great with oxygen due to Qt limitations -namely: the top margin is not respected when the dock titlebar is hidden).<br /><br />Dolphin does not have this feature. Maybe one (you) should file them a 'wish' on bugzilla. I don't think its a big deal to implement and they might just have overlooked it. <br /><br />Concerning the statusbar, well yes. Its a matter of taste I guess. I don't mind much about them (especially since with last oxygen you can move windows around by clicking on them), but I can understand some people feel its a waste of space.<br /><br />It's an application issue though (not related to oxygen). <br /><br />Oh. Things I _really_ don't like, is when apps add frames (ugly squares) around the label they display in status bar. In e.g. KTorrent, or Juk. <br />This I hate. Too much clutter for nothing.Hugo Pereira Da Costahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467841190488432608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432305160270992760.post-32510451904626407222010-08-25T16:17:41.463-07:002010-08-25T16:17:41.463-07:00After playing a bit with Gimp, just removing the b...After playing a bit with Gimp, just removing the borders doesn't work.

Probably a third solution has to be found. I know this is not an easy task, and I want to express one more time my appreciation for your work. Keep it up and make new dock widgets ;-).Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17453997049104796903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432305160270992760.post-60108290367401187312010-08-25T01:11:43.491-07:002010-08-25T01:11:43.491-07:00I like the borders of the dock widgets, but I do n...I like the borders of the dock widgets, but I do not like the buttons and topic on them. They take space and they make the widget look a such it does not belong there. So I would love to see a locking what would be linked to toolbar locking (if you have toolbars locked, you have widgets locked. if you unlock either, both unlocks) what hides topic and buttons but keeps the border around.<br /><br />But what I can not stand at all is the forced idea to have a statusbar in Dolphin and in Konqueror. I do not have important use for those. The file sizes I can find from information panel and to there the amount of selected files should be availalble as well. Konqueror should start showing the progress in the tab or addressbar (aka Safari way) and allow users to hide statusbar to get more space.<br /><br />Those are the things what visually implease me and my friends.Fri13https://www.blogger.com/profile/00914958546817888010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432305160270992760.post-26643050572354296082010-08-24T21:23:35.412-07:002010-08-24T21:23:35.412-07:00@ Dion (and Hugo): that looks like the default wal...@ Dion (and Hugo): that looks like the default wallpaper that comes with opensuse 11.3 actually ;)Jason moofanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00144194912414739188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432305160270992760.post-22027438686968912912010-08-24T07:05:36.531-07:002010-08-24T07:05:36.531-07:00Sorry.

(the idea being that 'locked' dock widgets could be frameless). It does not look so nice. Amarok looks kind of dull, and in fact, more messy since there are no distinction between the left 'media' list and the right 'now playing' list, when the context is hidden (which I do).<br /><br />Besides, the two lists do not align well (and they are not supposed to), which does not look good either. <br /><br />The devs (Leo Franchi notably), agreed with that.<br /><br />In fact I have the same feeling when using Amarok with any style that has frameless docks (e.g. bespin, or plastique), and like the oxygen way better.<br /><br />Now, naturally, I'm biased.Hugo Pereira Da Costahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467841190488432608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432305160270992760.post-17982947222561215072010-08-24T06:26:41.441-07:002010-08-24T06:26:41.441-07:00Looks great.

Also, I would like the dolphin window in the "dolphin and amarok" screenshot to not have a border around the white content area.<br /><br />But still, this is great work. You say this is "not much innovation graphics wise", but in my opinion, your work is extremely important, even more important than any innovations. I would even go as far as to say that transparency isn't as important as polishing for 4.6.<br /><br />Again, great work, and thank you.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17453997049104796903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432305160270992760.post-55905008384196263152010-08-24T05:05:27.519-07:002010-08-24T05:05:27.519-07:00I tried kde 4.5 its awesome but i am back to kde ...I tried kde 4.5 its awesome but i am back to kde 4.4 due to dolphin unstability.<br />That has been fixed for kde 4.5.1 ,so waiting for next kde release.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09072673616104290506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432305160270992760.post-50983036231327794312010-08-23T23:54:33.087-07:002010-08-23T23:54:33.087-07:00Beautiful, great work !

Don't even know the name of the author, to give proper credit (shame on me). No it doesn't come with KDE. <br /><br />3) Is there no option for a circular clock? <br />Same as 1/ the "plasmoids" on the top right of the screens are my own, and are not plasmoids :) but plasma interfaced regular windows, available at: <br /><br />http://www.phenix.bnl.gov/WWW/publish/hpereira/software/tgz/transparency-qt4_2.5.5.tar.gz<br />http://www.phenix.bnl.gov/WWW/publish/hpereira/software/rpm/transparency-qt4_2.5.5-0.i586.rpm<br /><br />4."On the right side of the systray there is a screen symbol.
