Dont be happy, i didnt think you like it w/o colors and background images. and 
the font only is big if i change the font in the cotrol center globally. i 
only wanted to show, that k%'s fonts are not fixed. but i didnt committ so 
far. caus i dislike the outfit at all.

oh, that is easy, just look at the K-Menu. there you have a list of all math 
apps and if you choose one, it will be launched. so where is the effort, if 
KMath doesnt do much more than only launching progs...

uh, i personally dont think it will be easy to make consensus here cause of 
all the different ppl may be involved with it...
