WTF is wrong with KDE?
>>106932209By looking at their interface just once, any person with mental illnesses of only mild to medium severity can tell the freetards who make KDE are literally eyeballing everything, with very little professional thought devoted to actually justifying their UI design choices.
>>106932209im involved in KDE and ill tell you exactly what happened.- Nate and his buddies started a company around the valve contract so they now see themselves as apple level, since he never shuts up about his time at apple and think they can dictate what we all do- Nate literally told me to either use Kirigami (shitty libadwaita-like kde library) over qtwidgets or step down with no drama- They are doing meetings constantly on the design and half of us want to keep the design as is while the other half wants to chase gnome because "it gets praised for its design constantly and we dont"- There's talk behind the scenes on moving to CSD-like workflow by placing widgets in the decorations so they are half csd half ssd- everything gets rounder and rounder and with more menu buttons every release
>>106932300>everything gets rounder and rounder and with more menu buttons every releasenoticed that too, the roundness level is now at what libadwaita had on its first release
>>106932300This is Apple at its most retardedTog needs to beat him with a foam noodle until he sees the error of his waysMove up to a baseball bat if that doesn’t work
>>106932300>KirigamiIs that what it's called? I fucking hate that shit. It sticks out like a sore thumb in my custom theme. The GNOME-ification of KDE must stop
>>106932209>>106932232>>106932300Post the whole picture and it becomes obvious that some of the menu items have checkboxes which are in that column. This has been a Qt feature for decades.Feetfag menus on the other hand make zero sense.
>>106932348you either havent updated since 2004 or are retarded, call it
>>106932356It's still an issue with the latest Evince.
>>106932300So they dont even know why it's so ugly? Hilarious!
>>106932209There's a checkbox somewhere offscreen, which is what that column is for.Nice try OP.
I always think Windows fucking sucks and KDE can look so cool but then you try KDE and you get raped by the shittiest UX in the universe with twice as many weird unique ass toolkit styles. OpenBox, XFCE and LXQt look the most cohesive to me.
>>106932390WTF is that?
>>106932418zoom
>>106932429buttons over a menu item? that is pleb tier
>>106932300Why don't they just use GNOME if it's so good. What a bunch of retards.
>>106932387https://discuss.kde.org/t/does-kde-need-to-hire-professional-designers-ui-looks-outdated/39966this post sent them to a total braindeaththey even locked and hid it from the forum
>>106932300tell us some stories from kde 3.5 and the transition to 4 etc. dayswhat do you think of trinity?
Have they fixed the bug where clicking the separator closes the menu yet?
>>106932385evice is literally deprecated, just because the number gets bumped automatically it doesnt mean it has been updated since 2000they made papers https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.gnome.Papers
>>106932469The thing is that these niggers always consider anything not wasting tons of space with padding and rounded corners and hiding any complexity behind gigantic fucking hamburger menus as outdated. Sorry I don't like my desktop to be some fisher-price smartphone garbage thank you very much.
>>106932348>germanblue systems employee detected
>waaaaaa I don't like it, make it look better>how?>idk, make it more modern and shit
>>106932493have you seen kirigami? it's literally that, paddings and hamburger menus. KDE LOVES that, they just cant make it look good
>>106932418That's literally nothing>>106932390WTF is THIS?
>>106932538kde is so fucking ugly
>>106932518The settings app is made in Kirigami and it doesn't have overly much padding or gigantic rounded corners and the hamburger menu only holds a few pretty unimportant items.
>>106932538it's called a tooltip
>>106932538I took that screenshot while hovering over that menu item. The cursor just wasn't captured. It's a tooltip. You might know them from literally every desktop ever since Windows 95.
>>106932510>modernAnyone who says this gets it completely wrong. It's not about muh modern. KDE looks janky as fuck. It's unprofessional. Compare it with Windows 95, which doesn't look modern, but it absolutely looks professional.
>>106932566imo kde is too information denseevery program is like using a DAW
>>106932576This. It needs more padding and rounded corners. It should look like my bubbly smartphone.
>>106932488>still can't rotate a document to the left
>>106932651ctrl+right 3 times
>>106932651>>106932677or just ctrl + leftretards
>>106932689>>106932677Why is it not in the fucking menu, retards?
>>106932584The KDE devs certainly seems to thing so. Which is a shame since there are so many more things they could easily alter to make things look better. Like better contrast, less overuse of pointless icons everywhere, a less busy looking symbolic icon theme, less overuse of pointless borders everywhere, less schizophrenic use of rounded vs sharp corners, less attention grabbing and more consistent use of accent colors, less random transparency
>>106932755>muh consistencyWindows 95 was far less consistent than Windows 3.x and yet performed much better on actual usability studies.Stop copying fagOS, it is NOT great from an usability standpoint.
>>106932779Well, if you want KDE to turn into modern Windows with random designs stretching back 20 years that's fair. Personally I don't. I think Windows looks like shit.
>>106932860Most of KDE is using the same principles as classic Win32. Modern windows is also dogshit.
>>106932750menu > rotate
>>106932883Yes, it can rotate to the right. If you want to rotate to the left, you have to open the menu 3 times and click the rotate to right, which is fucking bullshit.
>>106932755kde is the best looking ui of any major os. please don't try to infect it with your filth.
>>106932929I'm so glad I have working eyes. Being blind seems awful.
>>106932937i love to meet a fellow kde user in the wild
>>106932418>press shift for moreConsolecuck GUI LOL
I have to use this piece of shit at work. It is awful but I forget about it once I open the engineering EDA tools which are 10x worse in that regard.
>>106932209KDE looks like the old clunky linux but slightly updated to resemble Windows a bit. It's usable but some parts are clearly not done properly.And people shit on Ubuntu (with Gnome) but it's by far the most polished UI out of the box.Turns out that having an actual significant number of devs paid to polish it pays off. Instead of hobbyists doing it in their spare timeI mean I don't like the idea, I'd rather not have to depend on a company, but at least it's not Pajeetsoft
>>106935271> Most polishedPolished in what metric, sucking ass?
>>106935436UIThe windows, the file manager, everything is done in the same style and it has proper cohesive design. Nothing looks janky. Animations are even better than on Windows.Now I can't guarantee that what you install from other sources will look the same..
>>106932209modern toolkits are a mistake. We would already be a yotld if we just keep upgrading gnome2/kde3and keep on updating x11
>>106935603at*
I can't explain why, but KDE and everything about its defaults look ugly. The UI isn't dated or foreign, but something about the colors and icons used and the layout of its apps and menus is simply off-putting. Even >>106935603 is more pleasing to the eye than KDE's defaults despite being based on 20yo ideas that nowadays can be considered questionable (like having three toolbars + title bar).
