Playing With KDE
I spent some time tweaking out my (and by “my” I mean on loan from work) Dell D600 laptop tonight. I’m using KDE on this machine as I haven’t used it since giving Gnome a shot and I’m trying to diagnose a strange problem I’m having by ruling Gnome out as the cause. I’ve got this thing looking pretty sweet and I’m pretty happy with the feel of it. Thanks to my play time, I finally figured out just what the hell was annoying me so much about KDE and fixed it!
Waiting for the big revelation???
Bah, nothing major. It comes down to the fact that I detest the look of the Plastik window decorations and the useful area of the screen always felt small to me. These aren’t show stoppers, I was just lazy and didn’t get around to tweaking. Now that I have, I’m really digging on KDE. I LOVE the look and feel of Gnome, however continued KDE use might, just might, convert me.
I think on Monday I’ll switch to KDE on my work Fedora system and put it through its paces. I’ll just boot Plastik and set both my kicker and external task bar to allow other windows to cover them.
So check it out if ya like, it seems I was feeling like many shades of gray this evening…
