Does anyone know if the dropshadow support in 3.1 is a hack like the transparency in Liquid or if it's "the real thing"?

Why is everybody so excited about transparency & shadows?

It provides nothing to the usability of a system. And, frankly, it looks hokey.

Yes, I know, this is just my opinion. Still, I fail to see how transparency and dropshadows make a system look better or function better.

You know, zakariya, kdelook.org is a place to discuss eyecandy stuff for kde. So, if you think that we don't need more eyecandy, go somewhere else, e.g. to kde-usability project. And btw, drop shadows are very useful, 'coz they make menus much clearer.

whenever you see transparency that is between two windows, it will always be "fake" transparency, at least until the experimental "xrender x server" is available, because "real" transparency is currently only possible within a window.

the only exception (that i know of) is the cursor shadow that is possible with the nVidia drivers, but that is possible because the cursor is drawn after all the windows have been "flattened" down onto the frame buffer (and even after all the xview stuff has been drawn into the buffer directly).

Wow, KDE is getting better and better.
Its starting to look abit like XP though...

I am wondering... XP seems to have stolen some of its ideas from KDE and GNOME, but KDE 3.1 looks a but looks alot like like XP.

Who is the copycat?

as for ease of use (as a UI), I have to admit that XP wins... but I think KDE 3.1 will beat XP... cant wait to get it....

I liked win2k pro look more than XP, to me XP just looks like some kind of a cheap toy. OSX is cool looking, but a bit too flashy for my workstation. Many Linux users got that way by not liking windows. Given that I liked the UI of NT4 more than XP, I could see some backlash if that is the default UI. Give me my Light style 3rd edition or give me death.

It looks... well more "professional"

I suppose XP GUI was designed by the same bunch
responsible for M$ Bob but this time they decided
to do the GUI itself rather than releasing M$ Michael
or something (hypothetical); and put some discretion
while design it.

This is agreed by others, but since the GUI was
shoved down under their throats...
