KDE Developers Working On A New Start Menu

This article was written on August 22, 2006 by CyberNet.

When I use Linux I normally choose to use KDE because I like the Start Menu structure a little better. What makes me even happier is that the KDE developers are pondering a redesign of the Start Menu and it should look something like the image to the right.

I like how they make use of tabs which seems to be the hot thing in software lately. The only thing that I wouldn’t like about them is if you have to click in order to switch between them. I would want the ability to hover over one of the options and have it do the switch immediately.

They did mention testing this new menu in openSUSE 10.2 which is currently in the alpha stage. However, I am not sure if it has already been placed in Alpha 3 which was released on August 11. I guess we will find out shortly because I am downloading it!
