First thoughts on KDE4.2...
I thought I'd start a thread on first thoughts about KDE4.2...
It feels faster.
I don't think it looks as nice as KDE 4.1.x did. I liked the black
background on the panel better than the current panel color scheme. That
is probably being picky, but it is what I think. Maybe the panel
background color could be set in the future ?
I find the file icon "icon bars" that appear on an icon when you
holdover to be too big now. I thought they were better in KDE 4.1.4.
I love the LCDWeather widget. I have 2 of them in my lower panel. I
wish that they displayed the name of the location they are indicating
for. For example, it should say "Las Vegas" when you open it up. I
guess the designers didn't anticipate people having more than one
weather widget operating once ?
Evolution seems to run faster. I have really large email folders.
My lower, centered panel now retains its width setting and doesn't move
the icons around between sessions ! Its nice this problem is finally
fixed.
It doesn't seem possible to move icons within a panel. I'm hoping this
feature appears in the near future so that I can group icons they way I
like them.
Overall, it looks pretty good.
Kudos to the KDE team for their efforts.
LG
