Many people who use WordPerfect still prefer the old-fashioned DOS-compatible keyboard they learned when they first started working with the program. Since pretty much any graphic can EASILY become a KDE or MacOS icon the whole thing is pretty much a wash if you’re willing to spend about 10 minutes fiddling with things.List of keyboard shortcuts for WordPerfect’s DOS-compatible keyboard (recent versions) You should take a look at the sites I listed above, as well as places like, (a great place for themes), and any number of other places linked to from iconfactory. KDE has essentially a single repository for most of it’s UI enhancements To say that there’s “more” icons for KDE is just silly. While I do like some of the interface bits for Linux, I’m pretty fond of GNOME 2.0 with the Gorilla icons, Bluecurve-okayish widget theme, and the Bluecurve window decorations.

Not to mention the fact that any graphic on the system that can be loaded into the systems clipboard can be turned into an icon as easily as “Get Info…” -> click on the current icon -> “Paste”. ,, icons.cx, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There are dozens and dozens of icons sites for the MacOS. Is KDE perfect? Not yet, but we might attain perfection sooner than anyone else.

If you want to see some of our dead sexy art work go to: The nicer image rendering spoken of by many a MAC addict is accomplished by performing all th redraws on the buffer, which takes time and may be partially responsible for why so many people feel that OS X is slow. OS X only has one desktop, which can become quickly cluttered whereas KDE has four desktops by default (it can support anywhere from 1 to 16 desktops). KDE has Crystal Icons, Noia Icons, Slick Icons, and we even have a port of the most popular OS X icons (with consent from OS X artists). OS X has many nice icons, but KDE has more. With KDE we have a multitude of quality themes, Keramik and Mosfet’s Liquid (similar to Aqua, but smoother) to name two of the most popular themes. It has transparent menus, shadowed frames for depth, and the GUI’s appearance is much more flexible than most. I was expecting everyone whom read the article to know that OS X supports X windows, which is part of why I worded my phrase that way.Įveryone is entitled to their own preference as to why they like one GUI over another, but I would like to state my reasons for liking KDE’s GUI, besides being open source.
