I tried your kopete theme and I really like it, but there's one thing I don't like.
You replace links that are posted with the clickable text "linklink".
Will this change? I'd prefer to see the link that is posted.
If you want to stay with this behaviour, you should at least change it to display the text "link" instead of "linklink" as it is now ;)
Best Regards

That's what styleguides are for.
In fact I think inconsistency is the biggest problem in UIs nowadays.
If you have an UI that is rather complicated and silly designed, but is consistent in every dialog it will be easier to use than a clean and mean interface where every dialog looks different to each other. - Feb 22 2006

Most KDE icons themes use pixmap icons, so they won't scale, too.
I don't think it is a good idea to distinguish icons by where they come from.
And my previous argument is still valid: most users won't even know that they come from KDE as they don't even know what KDE is.
So what advantage is there in splitting icons in "KDE" and "non-KDE" ones when there are many who don't even know and many won't bother? (No offence, I'd like to understand your view) - Feb 22 2006

It solves the problem with the Browse-button
it looks as nice as the first mockup the discussion is about
it adds, as you said, the advantage of being able to see all categories at once
Thumbs up! I support your solution! - Feb 22 2006

Using a place that is already used by a standard button for custom functionality isn't a good idea. - Feb 21 2006

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by Linuster 58 comments
I have an idea how to (imho) better place the "Browse" button.
You could move the "Browse"-button somewhere below or above the icon selection field and add a descriptive label to it.
See http://kinitiator.sf.net/icondialog.png for reference.
The mockup isn't as "nice" as yours as it was quickly build together with Qt Designer and therefore hasn't any nice icons or anything fancy. It only shows in which way I'd place the button... - Feb 21 2006

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by Linuster 58 comments
I really like your proposal, but I think the "Browse"-button should be more exposed, it's kinda hard to find it within your proposal.
I think the user shouldn't know about wether the icons are from kde or from any other source as it doesn't make any difference in selecting them and most users wouldn't even know what you'd mean with something like "non-kde icons".
"uncategorized" is quite good, although there may be some better term as the word "uncategorized" leaves a bitter taste for me...
Maybe something simple as "other"?

Two questions come to mind:

2) Why don't you use the installer I wrote for the style? I think it would make installation a lot easier.

It's no Talkback-Agent like the one in Mozilla that appears when the application crashes.
It is a small tool to enable developers to get feedback from their users what they actually think about an application.
I don't think anything should be stored, as each application should call this wizard only once, and I don't want to have information I entered when answering questions about Konqueror again when the wizard is started by KMail (or some other application).
In addition: please take the "Generic" in "Generic Feedback Wizard" in account.
This tool isn't meant for KDE-apps only.
You can use it for any application you like, even VI or Emacs ;-) - Feb 13 2005

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by SegFault 26 comments
My first idea was to let it to the application that uses the feedback wizard to show the user what will be submitted.
The wizard creates an XML-file that can be used by other applications for whatever they like.
I think about integrating a further option to let the user see the output. - Feb 13 2005

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by SegFault 26 comments
You'll see, translations will come in a future release.
The problem with collecting infos about the users actual usage has to be solved in the applications.
Let's take Konqueror as an example.
How should I get information about this from an external application?
Perhaps this is possible, but then I'd prefer to leave it to a more advanced developer than me.
I could file a whislist-bug report about this.
Maybe it could be integrated in KDE 4? - Feb 13 2005

I abjected the idea.
Why you ask?
This kcontrol module was meant as a workaround one can use until the KDE-people implemented this thingy in KDE.
I don't think it's worth the effort.
How many themes would one actually create?
Two?
Three?
There aren't that many possibilities that really make sense. - Jan 04 2005

I added some spacers to the layout, so the widgets will be resized in a nice way when the window is enlarged.
These spacers cause the large border.
I need to tune them a bit to make it smaller.
Please note this control center module is meant as a kind of workaround, which should be replaced by a proper dialog by the KDE-people.
I only made this because of so many complaints about the standard shadows. - Jan 04 2005

You can download the sources from a project I once created for other KDE-Tools, but FSTabEditor doesn't have a homepage on its on.
As there currently is no active development, you won't find any current source tree on the web.
I once planned some features I wanted to implement.
I should have been paid for this job so far, but until now no money has been transfered to me, so I stopped this project in anger until I get my payment.
Sorry, maybe this is a non-idealistic view, but I prefer to continue on other projects for now.
Please feel free to contact me if you are in need for further features that should be added to this tool.
Maybe I'll start working on it again.
Yours faithfully

This pic is a nice copy of the style GNOME is using on their page.
Don't get me wrong - it is a nice pic and I think KDE should get something like this, too.
I'm no artist, but shouldn't it be possible to come up with something that looks different and perhaps even better?
We don't want to copy GNOME, don't we?
We want to make those GNOMEs jealous of our work and not to make them blame us to copy their ideas ;-)

The first screenshot shows the version that you can download currently.
It is version 0.3.
The second screenshot shows what will become 0.4.
I'm not quite sure about the grouping you'd like to see.
It would be hard to do this with the new interface.
If you have suggestions for a better interface - feel free to send it to me.

But for my first tests /proc was much easier :-)
I need to get further information about sysfs to make any real use of it.
The problem with the 2.4 kernel is there seems to be no function or proc-file that reports me _any_ available block device.
So I think I'd have to parse the kernel logs.
But I can't assume that it is stored at all.
Or, if stored, what the filename of the log-file is. - Aug 20 2004

Supermount you say?
I think it's obsolete already, isn't it?
SubFS is its successor AFAIK.
My system doesn't support Supermount, but SubFS.
But maybe you want to use autofs for something?
No, I don't think it would be a good idea to offer those options.

It isn't hard to do using the XMLGUI-stuff of KDE and so the user will have the choice what he likes best.
But I'm interested in this app in general.
I once thought about something similar as well.
How do you want to "embed" the windows of the different emulators into your mainwindow?
Are you using this XEMBED-protocol or something similar?
Will this work for every emulator?
How are you going to manage the parameter-stuff?
Will you create dynamic dialogs which input-fields are read from the XML-file you mentioned? - Jan 31 2004

I haven't tested your app, yet, although it looks interesting.
Because I haven't tested it yet, I don't know for sure, but I guess the line of buttons on top of the window are something similar to a toolbar.
Why don't you use the toolbar-widget KDE offers?
You wouldn't have to mind about creating the buttons, and placing them on the window.
And as a further advantage it would be configurable by the user (could move it to a different position, remove buttons from it, and so on).
