look at:

and see what true xrender is (or not)

 Re: Menu Transparen

Mosfets transparency basically just takes a snapshot of the screen area to be covered by the menu, darkens/filters it and draws it back as a menu - but it does this only once; when the menu is first drawn.

You can see the effect of this if you use one over a scrolling window - the content showing through the 'transparent' menu won't scroll.

 Menu Transparency

real = hardware accelerated = fast

unil now, transparency is a trick, the image behind a menu is captured, and then put together, so that it looks like
"transparency" ...

real transparency is done trough hardware and is much faster and won't take too much cpu ...

In liquid transparency, when the underlining area which is covered by a menu changes, it is not updated in the menu. So we see the area all around the menu changing and the menu don't. Sorry for my bad English, but I hope I've made myself understood

 XP, OS X

I think XP and OSX GUI's can't be beaten, they are already. Sure, they have nice little effects and are quite fast, but both don't have such a heavy load of functionality like KDE 2/3. Not only is KDE more fun to use (in my opinion), you get a lot of powerful software included for which you would have to pay a lot of money on other OS's.

 Functionality

In terms of functionality, yes, KDE beats the "tar" out of XP and OS X (yeah, pun was definitely intended). I find now I can hardly breathe without virtual deskotps and virtual consoles. How ever did I manage before?

I was referring to KDE's looks, which are getting neck and neck. KDE's styles designed by Mosfet (default, hicolor default) rival *anything* I've ever seen, save OS X (If Mosfet could give his buttons a wet look...).

KDE's only remaining fundamental problem is the aspects of it which are too certoonish. There are some great icons themes here that remedy that. Once transparency support in X for mouse/window-shadow is there, KDE will be the top GUI/OE for functionality AND looks.

Way to go Team KDE!!!

I meant to say "getting neck and neck with XP and OS X", not that KDE is getting two necks. :o)

 Fonts

Kde will use any fonts you give it but, the fonts are not part of the desktop environment. It is up to the X window environment to serve them up. For legal reasons, most distros, if not all, will not include the good True Types. Kde and others went out of their way to make them easy to install and at that point, you are the licensee to Microsoft. Of course these are distributed and licensed by Microsoft but only a few are actually made by them. Most of the ones you would probably use are made by Monotype. You do not need Windows to get them, they are all downloadable and free of charge, not free as in GNU. The show up as executable files but can be unzipped. Another neat little tool that came with my Suse 7.3 is called, fetchmsttfonts and runs in a terminal and is fully automatic as it ftp's into Microsofts true type collection, downloads, unzips, installs, and makes the fonts.dir and fonts.scale for you and you simply restart X after that. If they could be distributed with your distro or even by KDE as you suggest, they would be certainly.
I know it's a hassle but the extra effort is worth it. I have Chinese and Japanese fonts in my collection also as certain web pages use them even if the text is in English. I wonder if I could upload a huge tarball full of these fonts to someones ftp. I have a collection of over 200MB worth and I only kept the ones that are not 2bit or produce errors. Most of these are from Microsoft and some extras I found that work well that are named after many psychotropic medications and include many of the antidepressants that encompass mood brighteners for the whole family. Whee!!
