We like the old styles!

Well, okay - I can certainly see why people would want simple styles, for me
it's mostly a matter of time and the fact that Qt now has Plastique and
CleanLooks. Can I, (or someone else), get this done properly in time for
KDE4.0 as well as all the other stuff that has to be done and is it high
priority? It isn't just Blitz and porting the stuff in kdelibs and base, I
also got my own KDE projects I wanted to release the first alpha of to
coincide with KDE4.0. No way that's going to happen now :P
Just because it's not in kdelibs doesn't mean it's dropped entirely, tho. I
can certainly see porting at least Highcolor/B3, doing it right with the new
QPainter, and sticking it in kdeartwork or something. And of course the KWin
styles will stay somewhere as well since they are easy to hack. I can easily
see an "oldschool" kdeartwork module >:)
Unless something changes my priorities at this point is:
1) Port libs and base off of KImageEffect. This also includes redoing
KIconEffect properly and the KWin styles. I'm recompliing SVN now and will
start this either tonight or tomorrow morning.
2) Port apps if the developers request it.
3) Get an alpha version of Pixie 4.0 out.
4) Old widget styles.
