Simpicity of KBFX

Friday, 19 January 2007  |  siraj

two days after the release of kbfx silk in which we try to simplify the backends and front ends, we got a nice comment on kde-look. actually this was really unexpected.

-- "I really dislike the latest kbfx, I wanted simplicity, that is why I switched to kbfx "

Disliking that's perfectly alright..but disliking for lack of simplicity ? hehe. very funny . i can just explain with two screenshots

1.) KBFX the new "So called Complex Skin"

2.) then a screeshot of the so called "Simple Menu"

now the strange thing is both these two new skins are using the same code but different skins. and different layout cofig with kbfxlayoutrc. I guess..this simplicity is too complex for the dude who posted the comment. any way..it just made me make a another skin for kbfx so it's alright i guess. * and maybe one skin can be complex than the other , but don't make the whole application complex. :-) also really glad that the new code is able to deliver the complexity and the simplicity using the same code base .
