Hrm, I may have to seriously think about changing my system colors to black.

KDE 4.1 should have some awesome (and hot) looking features. I can't wait.:banana_confusion:

It's not that I have anything wrong with Gnome. (Well, maybe the file dialog) I just like KDE better. [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue.png[/img]/emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I heard GNOME finally got support for color schemes a while ago. [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/biggrin.png[/img]/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Seems pretty basic though.

Yeah it does, though Compiz helps a LOT with aesthetics....Sure beats Vista, thats for sure. Plus its OpenGL, so thats another bonus. :annoy:

 

Though seriously, whats so good about KDE?

Well, you can use Compiz with KDE, for one thing. [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue.png[/img]/emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> But since KDE 4 has a compositing window manager I prefer to use that, since window manager-wise KWin is a better, more solid window manager. (Compiz has better effects... for now [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue.png[/img]/emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />)

 

But the real strength of KDE lies with its apps and configurability. I just like them better than Gnome's. KDE's apps have lots of great features, and the artwork is sexy. Qt4 and Oxygen help with this a lot.
