Spit & Polished Sweetness: Initial Thoughts on KDE 3.5

So, Today I decided to go and upgrade from KDE 3.4.1 to the shiny new 3.5. I logged out, started GNOME, started YaST, searched for KDE, and let YaST do the voodoo it does so well. after about an hour, YaST finished and I restarted XServer. I logged into KDE, and was immediately impressed by the improvements, subtle though they may be.

The first thing i noticed was the taskbar...it was nice and smooth, no telling where one panel started and the other ended. The Window Decorations were nicely smoothed out too. as for new features, well. YaKuaKe, the popular Quake-like Terminal program, now comes standard! so does Kat, KDE's answer to GNOME's indexing tool. Also, lots of nice little multiple desktop features and tweaks...other than that, I haven't explored enough of the new version to say any more...so I'll just keep posting as I find more neat little features, I suppose. I'll say this though, YaKuaKe is a godsend!! and it looks shiny too!!
