So you can go nuts customizing the colors. Not sure about the specific ones you ask for, though...<BR/><BR/>And I don't know if KOffice follows these colors, but if they don't, you should file a bug.jospoortvliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00245716825700049873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-6215743694515660572007-10-22T19:29:00.000+02:002007-10-22T19:29:00.000+02:00I really like that new Oxygen style and how it fit...I really like that new Oxygen style and how it fits with dark themes, really impressing.<BR/><BR/>And i noticed that there are even new menu where user selects what part like to change.<BR/><BR/>When i saw this, two things came up to my mind.<BR/><BR/>a) If i change background of editbox, does koffice background use same color then? (it's might be more koffice related problem?)<BR/><BR/>b) Is there coming more options to choose what color is used in wich place? Like i really love customize options and choosing colors is one of them. Like can i choose different color for menu text and window text or is it still related to together so if i have dark theme, i want red menu text and white window text, i can do it or like on current situation, i have red or white in both places?<BR/><BR/>But one way or other, im really sad that you must play with us by showing these nice pictures of good KDE developing ;-)<BR/><BR/>*Do not tease us!!!!! ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-65735206615291299992007-10-21T21:37:00.000+02:002007-10-21T21:37:00.000+02:00I don't know any Maelcum in IRC, but judging from ...I don't know any Maelcum in IRC, but judging from kde-commits and personal memory this should correspond to Andreas Hartmetz who also tidied up global shortcuts for KDE 4 (among other things). He did the major work on the shortcuts dialog.<BR/><BR/>(And yeah, I made it a bit prettier by using unobtrusive arrows instead of annoying icons, and making it RTL compatible.)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01853655460840374410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-60935551217631723912007-10-21T20:52:00.000+02:002007-10-21T20:52:00.000+02:00I love the glows in dark colorschemes.I love the glows in dark colorschemes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-40658851286036651582007-10-21T16:59:00.000+02:002007-10-21T16:59:00.000+02:00Rafael: Maelcum rocks, then ;-)@Robert: well, I ac...Rafael: Maelcum rocks, then ;-)<BR/><BR/>@Robert: well, I actually like the scrollbars a lot, more than the ones you normally see.jospoortvliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00245716825700049873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-67708309021979724382007-10-21T15:32:00.000+02:002007-10-21T15:32:00.000+02:00The Oxygen widget style just keeps getting more be...The Oxygen widget style just keeps getting more beautiful.<BR/><BR/>I still don't think the scroll/progress bars fit in though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-48760658642001901112007-10-21T15:23:00.000+02:002007-10-21T15:23:00.000+02:00Hey Jos !!Maelcum (on IRC) is the owner of those k...Hey Jos !!<BR/><BR/>Maelcum (on IRC) is the owner of those kudos !!<BR/><BR/>:)Rafael Fernández Lópezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155623229085629924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-72926042457516226972007-10-21T14:57:00.000+02:002007-10-21T14:57:00.000+02:00@bernhard: no, there is supposed to be a separate ...@bernhard: no, there is supposed to be a separate theming thing for plasma. At least for the backgrounds & other widgets. Not sure if that even exists already ;-)<BR/><BR/>@Hans: Imho this dialog is really much better. It takes a sec to figure out how it works, but it is rather intuitive.<BR/><BR/>I'm not too sure about the games thing. On one hand, consistency is important. But yeah, the actions in games are kind'a special, they might deserve a specific configurationspot. Maybe something should be done in the games-library so the games can use it. Or the normal shortcut dialog should allow for grouping, so you can put the actions on top or something.jospoortvliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00245716825700049873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-83723245677920616932007-10-21T14:10:00.000+02:002007-10-21T14:10:00.000+02:00Ah, the shortcuts dialog works now?

It looked broken the last time I tried it (well, it was a month ago..)<BR/><BR/>One of the thing that bugged me about the old "Configure shortcuts" was that you had to use the mouse a lot if you wanted to set many shortcuts - for example in a game*. There are of course the alt+[letter] shortcuts, for example alt+u to bring up the dialog where you set the custom shortcut, but many simply don't know this. Is the keyboard navigation easier in the new dialog? Sadly, it doesn't look this way judging from the screenshot (mostly because of the expanding thing), but I won't start flaming until I've tried it myself. ;)<BR/>..Hey! Just noticed: do you configure the global shortcuts in same dialog as the regular shortcuts in the new dialog?<BR/><BR/>When talking about KDE4, you hear great stuff like Phonon, Plasma etc. - sure, I look forward to try those too; but, almost even more, I want to see a more polished KDE, getting rid of these small annoying things. <BR/><BR/>---<BR/>* Regarding the games, I've always hated the fact that you configure the game controls in the shortcuts dialog. There are two main reasons:<BR/><BR/>1. It didn't make any sense to me first - I was looking for "Game controls" or something similar, but (after searching for a while) found them in "Configure shortcuts".<BR/><BR/>2. The "shortcuts" for the game controls are in many cases mixed with the other shortcuts of the application. For example, see <A HREF="http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/4025/kgamepr4.png" REL="nofollow">this screenshot</A>. I think this is really annoying:<BR/><BR/>a) To set your controls, you have to search for the game controls, use the mouse to set it (if you don't know alt+u) and then continue scanning the list.<BR/>(Compared to a list of game controls, press return and press your preferred key, use the down arrow to navigate down and continue the same process or another common method used in games.)<BR/><BR/>b) If there's a keyboard based game, you want to look up the controls before playing for the first time. Well, the shortcuts dialog makes that harder than it has to be: first you have to realize that the game controls are in fact in the shortcuts dialog, then you have to find the game controls in the long list of shortcuts - there is even a high risk that you miss some controls that you use in the game (especially with controls without the prefix ”Player” (which some multiplayer games have), given the fact that the shortcuts are sorted alphabetically) .<BR/><BR/>This makes the game much less enjoyable, which is sad for many of the great games out there, so I hope to some improvement in KDE4.<BR/>First, grouping in the shortcuts dialog would make life a little easier - do you know if it's supported?<BR/><BR/>---<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the long post, and most of it being off topic. Maybe I should post this on a mailing list? <BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/>HansAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-48492015821406630532007-10-21T13:09:00.000+02:002007-10-21T13:09:00.000+02:00wow.. that looks pretty good!what about the plasmo...wow.. that looks pretty good!<BR/><BR/>what about the plasmoids? do they also change some colors?<BR/><BR/>atm i don't have the time to try this out... would be great to see that too!<BR/><BR/>friendly greetings<BR/><BR/>BernhardBernhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13987247527431298899noreply@blogger.com
