KDE Plasma Mobile Is Beginning To Look Surprisingly Good

[ferry]

The word "hire" was metaphiric. I meant to find volunteers. Or maybe just re purpose existing volunteers. Basically, give these UI touches higher priority.

I think the message was "stop complaining and start contributing".

Looks is extremely overrated. How does it work?, performance?, devices?, easy to maintain?

I'm sorry but looks / feel are important. This is the primary issue with a lot of Linux veterans, we're so used to the command line and code side that we forget the importance of the UI/UX side. It IS important.

KDE directly doesn't really hire anyone, it's a community, but you can feel free to join the KDE Visual Design Group at any time, every help is appreciated and we already work as much as we can: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/design

It followed the older tradition of X programs having an x in front of their name, like xterm, xcalc, xbiff, xedit, xlogo, etc.

Besides, it's not like this sort of things didn't happen with other DEs.

GNOME: Gnote, gThumb, GDM, gedit, etc.
Enlightenment: Elive, Entrance, ePhoto, etc.
LXDE: LXAppearance, LXDM, etc.

Just to name a few examples.

Apple started doing the same with the prefix “i”.

So hows wayland support compared to gnome?
I haven't used kde for over 3 or 4 years now.. but gnome-shell/mutter have got very complete and good performing wayland now.

Same here. KDE is full of effects and is properly optimized but for some reason it doesn't feel modern. They need to hire people to focus exclusively on the small touches in the UI. Small touches make a big difference; things like missing border or separator, or unnecessary border, or inconsistent behaviour across toolkits.

I can't actually say why, but I find everything KDE-related awful.
One element could be the font choice I guess, but also the squarish look.

Sorry KDE people

Same thoughts here but mostly for those stupid names. I have no idea what Kaidan, Okular or vvave will do for me as both the silly names and the design don't explain nothing. (As a well designed UI should do)

EDIT: OK, this nerdish "v v" in vvave will mean a w, so wave, so a music player?

I hope they'll remove those legacy buttons and will use Sailfish like gestures for most things.

I love KDE dearly on desktop and can't wait till Mobile is ready for a daily driver ^^
