Raptor-Menu on the move.

-
It is with great pride and joy that I announce the Raptor-menu site most of the documentation is already there made by Nathanael Dracor. the site implementation was made by Luke Parry, and Siraj made a nice Download page so you can test it in its current shape.
Raptor-Menu does not try to be the final answer to the menu question, instead aspires to be the best answer we can give, merging many ideas form modern desktop launch menus.

I would love to try it, anything has to be better than the standard Suse menu. I am a little critical as all it needs to be usable is a traditional menu rather than the click look/scroll look crap that's in there at the mo.

First of all, thanks for all the great work you and the other oxygen guys did, it's fantastic.
I also have a question, could you please tell us something about the current state of raptor?
I compile kde from trunk from time to time, but there seems to be not much progress on raptor. Is it because I use Qt4.3 instead of Qt4.4?

Keep on doing the great work you did till now.

Hello, i just wanted to let you know that your work is awesome. You are the people that can really make a difference - after all, without the right visual impression kde will always fall short of it's potential.

Is there a chance that we'll see the final progress bars, sliders and window menus in 4.1 ? You guys were so overworked before 4.0 that you couldn't finish these in time, but maybe until this summer? That would be really, really, really, really awesome! =:)

I have a question!

Hopefully in the next few days I should have a Usability test that I have been working on with Björn Balazs from apliki.de on the K3B icons in that study I will pose the same question I'm about to pose now. And hopefully a few more options, that will come from the feedback of this post. So the question is...... "Data cd" 1 or 2?.... 1 2 Don't think to hard, just fire the first thing that pops in your mind, that is the best way to judge a icon IMO..also if you have an better idea please share...I will try to include it in the usability test. P.S Ofcourse the numbers will have to be redone for each size and the document as well... Its one source file for each icon. meaning this one = 14 files 7 png's and 7 svgz's.

Air and KDE 4.3.

-
Image
Air was the wallpaper we introduced in KDE 4.2, but that is just the beginning of something larger. Air is supposed to be different than what Oxygen is, something that tries to appeal to a user base looking for a more "sexy" experience than Oxygen (yeah I know you are out there :) ), but to still have the capability of merging nicely with what we have now. The first thing we started working on was a Plasma theme. Plasma, with it's immense plasticity and a fantastic coder team, allows us to try to push for new ideas. Another extremely cool thing about Plasma is it's ability to become anything you want it to be. So a user in KDE 4.3 might have a desktop that looks like this, if that is his wish, without having to use external software: (click for fullscreen mode) This is an example of how simple one can make a desktop in the 4.3 Plasma once we all manage to get all of our plans working. The new systray speck will help, the work being done on the task bar will allow you ...

The air we see...

Today the great Marco Committed air into svn. Let me just tell you a bit about air, air is a direct descendant of the air wallpaper, I made the first sketch of it the same day I made the wallpaper, and it tries to make the people that found the Oxygen theme "to black" happy. There is no one fits all design, and hopefully with air we can make a wider spectrum of people love KDE. ( in the future I think we can still make a couple more themes) Its still we hope coherent, there are a lot of small details that are shared with oxygen both qt theme as plasma theme. That gives it a feeling of belonging as part of the same experience. We introduced a brand new element in plasma theming, a cropped background the is placed on the plasmoid canvas, (you will see this in the future taken to new heights as it opens a fantasist new set of opportunities to designers). Its transparent, people love transparent stuff :) (we did some effort to avoid contrast issues, but with certain wallp...
