Hello,

I tried KDE 4.1 Beta (from kde4daily) and really liked it. But there are some 
things I would change like the appearance of kickoff since it does not fit to 
the design of plasma very well (in my opinion).

This is a screenshot of the original desktop I use in a VM:

I think that the kickoff menu should be darker since the panel at the bottom 
is completely black – thus there would be two color schemes: a grey one for 
applications and a dark / black one for desktop panels and plasma widgets, 
but not a white menu that does not fit to neither of these schemes.

I have made following mockup last night:

The menu should be wider so that the font at the bottom could be larger and 
the space at the top should be a bit smaller...

If you think that a dark menu is not as ergonomic as a white one this mockup 
might be an alternative:

What do you think?

Kind regards

Ole
