http://cloudcity.sf.net baghira-style@gmx.net (please include "bespin" in subject) Bespin is a widgetstyle for Qt4, the name is nothing about quantum mechanics, but just refers to cloud city (StarWars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back) I assume this could trigger some questions, so i'll try to pre-answer them FAQ: Q: weren't you supposed to write the Oxygen style (http://www.oxygen-icons.org)? A: Yes. Q: So what...? A: Left the team. Q: Why? A: Key reason was that the style as it was was said to be "ugly, unmaintainable" and "worst" ever in kdelibs. Someone insinuated i was ignoring the artists. Then there were some communication errors, i'm paranoid and now here ;) Q: Did you have argues with the Oxygen artists/team? A: Nope - at least not from my point. Work has allways been respectfull, polite and productive (though there were of course discussions) Q: So did you ignore the artist wishes? A: Once again, not from my point of view. I don't know whether it may have appeared like that, though. If, it certainly was not intended. Q: So what's this here? A: I wrote a bunch of code and spent a lot of time on this work. It may be "ugly and unmaintainable", but i guess that's my problem. Just didn't wanna throw it away. So i started modifying it just as personal fun-project, there's still a lot of oxygen design ideas in it - e.g. some ideas of Nuno that were dropped for oxygen. Q: Did you steal any code from the Oxygen Team? A: Every single line is written by my (ok, some are just adjustments of QCommonStyle ;P ) i wrote it for Oxygen, but /I/ wrote it. Q: So why should i use it? A: Don't know? Cause you like it? (I guess, if not, just leave it... ;) Q: But the code is bad...? A: Don't know. At least: yes - i do not tend to create very clean code, more condensed one. However, i assume you're not interested in reading the code but in polishing your desktop - that should do. (If not, just make a bug report) Q: Is this an offense to the Oxygen Team? A: Nope. (At least not by intention) I don't feel offended at all. (I did NOT leave the Team because of this, but working on your own has its advances. E.g. faster decision taking ;)
