Pretty amazing - Kuartet

[Minyaliel]

Kuartet (http://kuartetdesktop.sourceforge.net/) is a KDE app using Superkaramba to make a KDE environment look like an improved Mezzo desktop (http://fak3r.com/2006/01/31/howto-mezzo-desktop-on-ubuntu/). I just stumbled across it by accident, and think this is great - especially since, in contrast to Mezzo, you can actually customize the desktop, a thing I've found rather difficult in Mezzo. It is easy to use, you hardly need to open a menu at all because it's all there on your desktop already (if you choose to install the manager app, that is. That's the great thing about it - you can choose which parts you want to use). For us lazy people, this is a dream come true... and, seriously, would you ever believe that this screenshot (http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c72/Minyaliel/kde-1.png) shows a common Kubuntu installation? (In comparison, this (http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c72/Minyaliel/Mezzo2.png) is Mezzo)

Looks nice!

Not sure how well it all works in reality, but worth a try.
Seems easier to deal with than Enlightenment, and the default theme looks a lot nicer...

Well, it works as far as I'm concerned - I love the fact that my Kubuntu looks just like a working (and bug- free!) version of Mezzo :) The KDE screenshot is from my own laptop, so I have proof ;) After a little tweaking and being creative when it comes to how to hide the default menu bar in KDE (since it wouldn't let itself be removed fully) it's up and going.

only issue I am having is the desktop bar and the sytem bar wont fit my screen res (1280x1024) they seem to be set up for 800x600?? would I have to use this setting? or is there a way to fix this, also using the configure option doesn't work when righ clicking on the peices
