Take a deep breath and realize that XP is a terrible design. It's bulky, childish and forces users to be stupid; come on people: the medium is the message. If you're computer looks like an injection molded plastic appliance then that's what you'll treat it like. I don't think this is poorly executed but you should really put your talents to something else. I will grant you that this is OK as a study: XP *is* well thought out -- the interface is very integrated, but the thought behind it is bad. I can understand the urge to imitate it: but please, use this as a study; figure out why it is you like XP, how it is put together to make it seamless. Then use that knowledge to create something better. Exempli gratia, come up with ways to get the KDE community to move in their own direction, not simply imitating Mac or Win. And for fck's sake: help us come up with an alternative to PINSTRIPES!!!
Yours, |

Look, I like a good imitation as much as the next guy, but the colors on XP are so faux-Bauhaus without the style or the thought. I mean it looks like someone shoved a kiddy pool into your computer. Plus I just can't take a computer seriously if it looks like that game where you match the triangle with the triangular hole. More than that, if you want to do this don't defile Slackware....go for Redhat or something. |
