Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
My effort is to form a brain-storm of usability of the desktop and provide some feed-back to KDE on booming the desktop with new usability concept to replace traditional methods.
When I saw new lycoris preview shots, this idea droped on me. Here in the mock what I mean is: Left side of desktop we are having some special desktop icon set representing certain task groups, Ex: Multimedia, System, etc. And the icons on the desktop will have mouse over like effects. When one of those icons are clicked, Corresponding icons to the applications belonging to this group will popup on the right side od the desktop with some 3D like effect (Some effect like Kooldock of kde-look have). We can arrange task group icons and ordinary icons in seperate area's or can give distinguish effect in order to identify them. Optionally we can include karamba sys-info, KickerPIM to get best of it.
Superkaramba with Kooldock (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=12097) or (http://www.xiaprojects.com/www/prodotti/kxdocker/main.php) can be used if they extend their support for this target.
Please note that this is just a suggestion and bottom line of this idea is "Effective use of desktop".
With all os this, please include your thoughts/ creative ideas/ critics etc to make a forum for KDE usability.

1. Ugly desktop mockup :)
1.1 Included detailed illustration
1.2 Included multy desktop usability illustation. This is something to do with more improved version of pager (Ex: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=6702)

The right click or scrool could be used for icon-wheel rotation and left click for selection. Offcourse the keyboard must allso be usable.
I think it is right time to make somethink "fresh" and different from MS like menu, and more usable and simple.

the only way for this to wor is if we have 3 more things, transperent windows, a simple way to make them more or less transperent, and a simple way to chose one or other window.
it is agreat idea and would be a great desktop. just this small problem that needs to be takan in consederation.

Let think: we have this giant place (desktop) almost unused and used only to put a nice wallpaper on it. Instead we can use it to replace (well, integrate) the current k-menu behaviour.
One can say: it's not immediate. But let think about it...you have to click on k-menu to have all sub menus available. Here you can click on the "show desktop" button or it may be implemented a "border area" where if you move the mouse in, then desktop is showed.
IMO it's a great idea!!

Anyway, you have a great notion and if implemented, it would put KDE way ahead of Longhorn or MacOSX IMHO :-)
