Yes, you read correctly: the 1.0 is ready for download 😀
I just fixed the last few items I had in my TODO for the final version of Polyester, and since it didn’t seemto explode I decided to release it as 1.0. So I would consider it as “final”, except of course fixing critical and oustandong bugs, that as every “1.0” there will be tons of these :-P.

Here it is the final changelog:

widget:

• -With colored scrollbars option turned off, the scrollbar handle has colored extremities on mouse over (similar to the Ubuntu theme)
• -In the configuration dialog “Menus and toolbars” was misleading, now it’s “Advanced”
• -nice circles instead of asterisks in password lineedits. Idea from Daniel Molkentin (will probably be the default in KDE 3.6 btw)
• -default button highlight when animations are disabled
• -alphablending (yes, fake of course:)) at the corners of the popup menus
• -corrected a bug in the sliders aspect

deco:

• -titlebar buttons icons have a cleaner aspect

Does this mean that the project is dead? Of course no: as I said if there will be ugly bugs I will make some bugfix releases, but the next Big Thing(tm) will be the porting to Qt4/KDE4, that I have absolutely no idea when I will find time to do it, but I will do it, it’s a promise 🙂
