lot of cruft come from oxygen theme..
is it possible to unclutter interfaces as in this 5 min mock-up? http://imgur.com/cZa8M am I a visionary?
-
@<a href="#comment-27895" rel="nofollow">Eriol</a>: I agree. That is something that was talked about at the workspace-next sprint. Now, how many things will actually be developed, I don't know. We need new blood :)

kde usability group should be advised.
anyway system setting shell and modules' UI are an unholy mess as a whole.. and I really hope they will get fixed as soon as possible; such a benefit..

Hi! I'm a relatively new KDE user (1 month or so) and I think activities could be really useful. Can you post a link to official documentation on how to use them? I've found only a handful of blog posts that describe how somebody uses them, but it is unclear what exactly an "activity" is and how to deal with windows that belong to more than one activity. Thanks!

@<a href="#comment-27894" rel="nofollow">Ivan Čukić</a>: Thanks for letting us know. Cheers.
-
As much as I love these new features, and all stuff related to activities, I'm equally worried about how detached this experience feels from rest of the desktop (bit clashing and redundant in places too), and how confusing it is to new users. It really needs to be consolidated further and a lot exposure.

4.9.x can receive only bugfixes, this will be a new feature, so it will be in the next release, whatever it will be called.
-
Is this for 4.9.x or comes with 4.10?
-
Very nice. Will make things easier and faster to set up and run new activities/projects.
-
@<a href="#comment-27900" rel="nofollow">jk</a>: Probably, yeah (though not exactly like that). But it would need to be changed in the other modules as well.
-
Can we get an update on what version we should expect this in? thanks!
-
@<a href="#comment-58467" rel="nofollow">Josh</a>: It is already in. For 4.10. (system settings -> workspace behaviour -> activities)
