4.4

Fri Feb 12, 2010 11:59 pm
Hey developers!

I wanted to thank you for fixing the 'black screen' problem with KDE 4.4. It's nice to have a GUI when my computer boots. I know a lot of people had issues with it, but you fixed it in jig time!

As I was browsing through the "Icon" tab of the appearance, I noticed I can't make my Panel Icons bigger. I feel they're a little small, which I understand from a 'real estate' perspective, but I'd like them bigger, like they were in 4.3. My "Folder View" Widget scales with the panel width, but the Launcher and device notifier icons don't.

I kinda miss the blue bars at the top of the Oxygen theme, too, but I'll be okay without them.

I like being able to set each wallpaper individually on my multiple monitors. I use the standard wallpaper, but it's really cool. Also, the easy multiple monitor support is great!

Thanks so much for all your hard work! I'll wear my Kubuntu shirt with even more pride than before!

Manual control of the size of widgets and icons on the Panel is not possible, and is a design decision by the Plasma developers I believe.

:-/ They look funny. I have a screen shot, but I'm not sure how to post it here. Manual control I could live without if they scaled automatically.

Plasma widgets should scale automatically.

Screenshots should be posted to a site such as omploader, then a link posted here.

That sounds like a bug, please file a bug report at bugs.kde.org if one hasn't been filed already.
