Yes, that recent change took a theme that was near perfect and made it an unhappy one.
You should reconsider reading what I wrote. The punctuation is important. I really only made one point that might not have been the most kind but it was meant to get your attention.
Really, I see people make changes like this for no good reason or changes occur because they have lost control of what they were working on. Your theme has undergone many changes and over a short period of time, for whatever reasons. That is an indicator of something. Sometimes it pays to just start a new version and let us live with the older versions.
On the shutdown dialog I have seen so many theme authors mess this up with oversized or undersized icons which create a distorted look (or even one that is missing, as yours has become).
I am guessing that my points were on target when considering your response. But really, kindness will only get so many things changed--not that I was being unkind.
Don't take that the wrong way. Many people are that way. Just that most programmers have built a thick skin, and in the end--listening and even swallowing hard and taking the harshness of some criticisms is the indication that you are becoming better.
I appreciate the reply. And my comments about the wild animal were a question, not a statement. I think you let the first reply to me set your tone, and that without it you probably wouldn't have said anything other than thank you for your interest. Maybe rereading my comments slowly would help. |

I would appreciate you using a whoa for yourself. My comments were far less biting than yours. I gave him a strong feedback. His recent change deserved it. On the other hand my comments deserved nothing from you. So, please, if you can't be constructive, at least as constructive as I was, please don't comment.
Good Day. |

I'm here to rebuke you for the latest change. You had this at near perfection. Then you changed the color of the widget desktop and task manager icon (the ones you click to add widgets or control them). On top of that you removed the nice white masked face on the shut down.
Put it back the way it was. There was no need to make that change. It looked outstanding. Now it looks cheap.
Luckily I caught it on some of my other computers and it hasn't affected this desktop, but sheesh man. Can you fix this thing or is it a wild animal out of your control by now? |

We've moved past compiling from source for the end-user. Please discontinue this practice here. We have to be promoting linux as a friendly OS for users. Compiling from source is just a terrible concept that makes it difficult to gain acceptance. If you can't make a product and make the appropriate packages for each distribution then don't do it. Drop your package in sourceforge and give up the ghost. We need people making software packages that the average person can use. Compiling brings problems, errors, conceited programmers and users. Please just stop. |

Installing that program and dragging and dropping an icon does nothing but kill the KDE 4.2 panel. |
