Bug#238078: korganizer: Look and feel
Package: korganizer
Version: 4:3.2.1-1
Severity: minor
Tags: sid
Calendar in 3.1 had a 3D-looking appointment look that was very attractive.
The current default colors are a vast improvement, but the flat look of
the appointment entries (default light green) is a step backwards. In
addition, text is now centered only in certain cases (when the dark time
bar is present), otherwise it is adjusted left and I don't see a way to
change it.
Could we please get the great-looking 3D style back, and centered text in
all cases?
The day/week/month series of icons are clearly improved, but the printer
and floppy icons are nicer in 3.1, and the subtle "go forward" and "go
backward" icons have been replaced by garish ones ...
I realize this is subjective, but there is a visual consistency to KDE
apps that make them extremely attractive, and I think my suggestions
and preferences go in the same direction: understated, effective blue
graphics with a pseudo-3D feel... ;-) It would be great if we could skin
our calendars -- though the only thing I'm really missing is the 3D look.
The addressbook view is vastly improved. In the case of toolbar icons,
could we get the option of selecting the icon, not just its size? As you
KDE guys know, aesthetics really does matter! A lot of users will be
attracted to free software because of your work.
Incidentally, this KDE upgrade is absolutely incredible. Almost all the
changes to the crystalsvg icons are great improvements (except konsole).
I did a straight upgrade from 3.1 and haven't encountered a single hitch.
Incredible bug checking -- this is really high quality work. You guys rock!!
[Minor quibble: why doesn't the kde metapackage include kdebase?]
