while i was testing the html5 transform, i found some rotate/skew effects good for kde mainmenu, see below:

rotate / skew with 10-20 degree will make the desktop more flexible and charming.
it also works fine in mobile.

Your image doesn't work (password protected by the BBS) and cannot be viewed. Try hosting it elsewhere. It's a bit hard to visualise your idea without the image, so please update the image, and if the idea is appropriate it will be approved.

I don't really know what you mean with kde mainmenu.
do you mean kickoff(like the start-menu on windows) or what?

What is the advantage of this? It seems to me this would make it harder for people to use.

I am personally against this idea as well. I don't see any added benefit. The only time I've ever seen a well-executed slanting menu was in a media-center interface. This doesn't carry over into the desktop world though.

Personally, I don't think this provides any real aesthetic benefit to the desktop, and may actually take away from functionality: at present, menu items can be selected from the screen-edge, and the back button in sub-catagories quite relies on the menu being against the screen-edge.
