I partly agree with you. I have thought for long that the gears logo should go because: a) it gives an impression that KDE is only for geeks who understand completely how computers work b) it reminds of old mechanic stuff, and I don't think that's what KDE4 should feel like c) it's pretty ugly, even if it has had a few facelifts recently (compare it to that übercool gnome logo ) I also agree on app naming, that kwhatever naming scheme is just stupid. Colors need an overhaul too, currently there'...

There's been a lot of discussion about a substitution to current kmenu, but almost all of them have just arranged the menu differently. I don't think this kind of approach is much better, since people have more and more applications. That's why I tried to design a more precise application launcher, which would also be fast and easy to use. I posted some mockups to kde-look, and it has the best rating of all ALI ideas at the moment. You can find it here: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?c...

They both still need some kind of compositing manager to use the fancy effects. I think KDE4 should include either it's own or be as compatible as possible with compiz.
