We installed two new KDE systems yesterday with
`apt-get install x-window-system kde`. This worked like a charm, but
when we logged in for the first time, the desktop was
extraordinarily ugly, for the following reasons:
- the background looks like downtown houston[0], except more boring
- thee desktop icon filenames have a shadow that makes them
basically unreadable
- font anti-aliasing is turned off, catapulting us back to the
pixelised eighties, or earlier
it would be nice to have the default configuration be a little more
friendly to the retina. i suggest using the default_blue background,
which has become a KDE standard, to choose white text on clear
background without shadows for the desktop icons, and to turn
anti-aliasing on by default. the only argument against that, which
i can see, is performance. however, if that's a concern, then KDE is
not right in the first place, especially not 3.x.
0. no offence intended
