 Okay, so today I'm trying to try out Deepin OS, it's a bit different because the ISO right now doesn't really work for me, like as an example I couldn't connect to Wi-Fi, so I'm using this built-in screen recorder, so I hope everything goes well. So let's start. I think that one thing that everybody loves about Deepin is the design. But I have some criticisms, just looking at the panel at the bottom. First of all, I'm personally not a big fan of putting system tree icons inside of these small rounded squares. I do not think that it's a good design decision. The icons can look pretty good even without them and it's not particularly consistent with the icon size because they are smaller and of different size. Let's look at this icon and this one, this one is just bigger. Also, if I open up an application like a random one, if I want to show the desktop, there's no animation between them and as far as gestures go, there's four fingers gestures, so that's something but it's not mapped one-to-one like in Plasma. Also I gotta say that the built-in screen recorder has a broken right side because the margin is missing and I also think that this old school trash icon is very out of place. So I'm not a big fan of the panel as is, but one thing that I think is good is that it's floating. However, when you do a floating panel, something to consider is that you need to preserve fit slow, meaning that if you click here, this applet should be activated like the mouse input from this part of the panel should be redirected inside of the panel, which is something that I'm trying to do with floating panels in Plasma. In ER it just doesn't happen, mouse input is not redirected, meaning that if you just push your mouse all over bottom left, you're not going to click anything. If we give a look to the pop-up, it looks good, I'm a big fan of a bit of rounding, maybe this is slightly too much, but a bit of rounding and blur, I like the blur, I think that it's a good menu, it's simple yet pretty clear. And as far as manager goes, I'm always tempted to say dolphin out of habit. I've got my directories, which makes sense, I think that it's very nice to have a welcome screen rather than just showing the desktop files. And I also have disks with all of my drives, makes sense. And if I look around, I have these big icons, which I guess I can resize, yeah. Okay, this is as small as they get, maybe a bit smaller could have been better. There's also a broken margin here, I'm sorry, dipping, but sometimes I'm very... Okay, I also, this is something I noticed earlier, I'm not a big fan of this icon because what is it supposed to represent? Because it opens up a menu. Okay, we have icons for menus, but this menu right here, the first line is smaller and the spacing between the second and the third lines is bigger than the spacing between the first and the second one. So it's a bit weird looking. Then we have an icon for the sidebar, makes sense. It's a practically inside bar if you ignore the fact that this center view has this gradient that doesn't fit at all with dipping style. And we also have this, I think it's a browser, am I right? Yes, this is a browser, which is opening up with a bit of time. It's cool that there is this animation when you open up a new application. It kind of wobbles left and right, I like it. But the active application highlight, this blue little thing is almost invisible and it looks kind of bad, like I don't know how to... Okay, this actually works because it's K-Win. And I don't know, I'm not a big fan of this bluish thing. I don't know if it's recording the screen zoom as well. And as far as picture goes, the design of this application is pretty good. I like it. Let's try to open up this photo. How do I actually open the photo? I won't know, okay. But one thing that I appreciated is that there's a lot of care about the design starting from the boot, so you have this picture in the... I don't know, in the group... What's his name? The group thing? And then you have also this wallpaper, which is, in my opinion, really good. I like it a lot. And it's also impressive that when you switch workspace, you also switch wallpapers, which is something that... Actually, there's been some requests for that in Plasma, but it's in theory covered by activities. And let's use for a bit this wallpaper so we can see the blur on this one. And the blur is fine. I like it, but it's all about this other design decision around it that I'm not a big fan of. As far as the screen capture goes, it's pretty good. I hope that it works, otherwise I will get very angry. This is the music app, but I don't have any music right now. It's very nice to see that application are consistent with each other as far as title bar goes and design elements. I think they do very well on that side, the buttons. And it's pretty. I think that there's lots of care about the design of everything. It's just that sometimes some parts are visible, like you can see that they hadn't the time to refine everything. So let's create a new event for live, why not? Which is going to be this video. And let's pick a date. OK, I like the month picker. It's a good month picker. And as far as the time picker goes, well, it could be better. I mean, I have to type to actually select anything that's not 0030. Reminders, pretty good. Repeat, OK, I like it. And now I actually very much like the design of the event. You have this gradient, I like it. You have the ability to switch between what is the week, day, month, and year. I can see all of the events with little dots. And we also get another effect, which is pretty. And what's in the theme? OK, I can select a dark theme. But for that, let's actually pop up system settings, which I haven't seen yet. So again, as you can see, I just tried to open up system settings, but Fitslow failed me. The active applet highlight is not aligned with the icon. At least, apparently, it's not aligned. So personalization, that's what interests me most. I can select the accent color, and very good design on making each accent color have this small shadow, the same color of the accent. I really like it. Let's pick purple, and actually yellow. Let's go with yellow this time. Turns out that window effect is, in fact, compositing. So I clicked on it, clicked on it, and it turned off video recording. So let's start again. We have a transparency slider. Very good. We don't have that one in plasma. I can go from 0 to 1, which is maybe a bit too much choice. But this amount of transparency is good. I still think that plasma does, from 5.20 to this beautiful thing of actually giving more contrast to the wallpaper underneath the blur. So even if you have 0 point, I think it was 8 transparency, which should be almost white. By making more contrast underneath the blur, you can actually see that it's transparent. So I think that's something that I can be proud of as a kid a year, or plus my hair. As far as the round things that you get to pick how much rounding we want, I'll go with medium, because small is non-existent, and large is maybe a bit too much. I think that there's a point where roundness is too much roundness. We've got papyrus icons by default. Very nice. And bloom is the dipping theme, so I'll keep it. And we can already see one big issue of having centered icons, which is that it's very easy for the system tray to start touching the task manager icons, meaning that they will have to move to the left. If I get more, yes, as you can see, they have to move to the left in this jumpiness way. As far as cursor theme goes, I like bloom. I think it's a good cursor. Phones, I'll just leave it as it is, sorry. Accounts, yes, display, touch screen. I feel like this touch screen section is a bit useless. It should not be before personalization for sure. Then we've got power with all of the relevant options. Is there a graph somewhere? I think there's not. And system information, the dipping logo, OK. It's a cool logo, I like it, using this blue and light blue mix. And general settings, boot menu. How is boot menu a general setting? That looks like I'll put random stuff in here that I don't know how else to categorize, which is not very nice. Theme, but the switch theme on to view it in the boot menu. Yes, that's what I was considering before as a very good thing. Then we have this draw application. Let's try it. Up it's more, thank you. And how do I actually draw with a pen? It's not bad, but can I use something a bit, start and? It's very nice that I can customize the start and the end of lines. It looks very cool. But what about the color? How do I change the color? Ah, here, color, sorry. And I can select alpha and have an additional color wheel. Pretty good. The alpha is not applied until you stop drawing the line. And then we have shapes as well. And all of this is still editable. So it's not like store to PNG. OK, what else do we have? A text editor. Let's see how touch appropriate is this text editor. Pretty good. You can zoom in, scroll. Is this? I can right click, but I cannot select text. Yes, I can. OK, like this. OK, let me try again. And then right click the text. Pretty good. Is this G edit under some heavy customization? I don't understand. I don't think so, but kind of. I cannot replace nor find. OK, so something is missing here. The tap design is OK. I think that the text is not very readable with strong yellow against it, especially on a hover. It's already better if you don't hover it. Then what else do we have here? Let's go through this quickly. It's very nice that you have all of the important stuff by default, like a scroll recorder, especially if you cannot connect to the internet to download more. It's a bit weird that there's this no input window. Please stop. OK. The design of the system tray, I think that it could be better. It's one of those parts that I think they've done in a bit of a hurry, like it could be refined. And I'm not a big fan of not using any shadow for this much transparency, because it gets lost on the background too easily. And then there's stuff like this icon is not aligned to the text. This spacing is inconsistent below and above. Here we have, again, two little spacing above. And these big sliders to turn off and on wireless, they're not really looking at this little pop-up. The notifications are nice. They look good, and you have this shadowed close button on hover, which is good for a mouse, but any component that's only visible on hover is not going to work for that thing. It's very difficult to know that you need to click that part of the notification to actually close it. And one more thing is that the icon for the calendar is pixeled. I don't know if you can see it through the YouTube quality, but it's not high-res, so there's a bit of stuff going wrong there. What else? There's a welcome application, which is very nice. I actually like it. I cannot resize it to make it bigger. We have a video. Then I can choose whether I want fashion mode or efficient mode, which actually preserves, fits slow, as you can see. And then I also have this normal mode, which I don't want to click because maybe it's about compositing as well, and it will kill my recording. And then also I can team with the nice two choice of bloom, bloom, bloom, bloom, unless you learn that there's a scroll bar. But I don't know how you would know about that scroll bar because it's invisible by default. So OK. But yeah, let's skip this one. And then there's a lot of stuff to be done with the panel. If I record correctly, I can move it. They have a nice transition to make it slide out and then in. And the icons move place to give space to the panel. And notice how the background of the system tray disappears when in compact mode. It seems like having a background for the system tray is fashion, but not a big fan. And then start to skip hidden like this, OK. They have a very nice core of animation to slide in and out. I like it. And I can also smart hide, which I guess is when I put an application over it, it will slide out, of course, with the weird side effect of these icons having too much left padding. But that's not dipping thought. The screen recorder is completely broken with a left panel. And I can actually just do like this to change the size of the panel. That's a good decision. I like it. And when you have enough space, the system tray goes. What else? You have separators between each category of elements. This is nice. This is something that we wanted to do in Plasma as well. Add a separator to the left and to the right of the system tray. It would look cool. And then you have plugins. So Unboard. So we've got this Unboard keyboard by default. Let's try it out. Can I, I don't know, how do I make a new file? Where's the new file button? Yeah, OK. They could have chosen a pre-tier on-board theme because this keyboard, I've used it a lot. And I know it's very customizable. OK. Let's close it. Thank you. And I think that's pretty much it. There's not much. What about? OK, so there is no calendar applet. You just pop up the calendar right away. The battery also pops up system settings. The audio one, I mean, look at this. We've lost our rounded corners here. So you don't get rounded corners to the left when the panel is also to the left. And I can choose which speaker to use, which is a good thing because, again, my microphone identifies himself as an output, which it's not is an input button. And then disks. You don't get much option except to click it and open up. OK, so my opinion on deep-in as a whole is that everyone considers deep-in to be really pretty. But I do think that they have some deciding issues that needs to be addressed before working furthermore on pretty stuff like adding more blur or something like that. They need to redefine at least all of the system tree applets because they're pretty bad. And I think they could use a bit more contrast and lightness effect behind these applets. This is something that KDE does with the contrast effect, which is something that I really love about KDE transparency. It really makes KDE blur and transparency one of the best on the market if you actually use it. We've got a user feedback, which is just all pops up the browser. I think everyone considers deep-in to be beautiful. And it could be potentially because I can see that there's some very talented designers for the wallpaper, for the general design of blur and stuff. But you cannot just pop up something with a lot of blur and say, oh, look at this. OK, so I did not see that we had a notification center. It has a very cool shadow. It's not all around, but it's actually realistic. I like it. We've got grouped notifications, which is very nice because there's lots of them. And this button does nothing. And we can clear them. OK. But yeah, you cannot just make everything transparent and then expect the user to say, wow, this is beautiful because you also need to have consistent margins, consistent design with not doing these kind of mistakes. And you need to work seriously on everything for it to be polished as well, because it could be nice to have just blur, but if it's not polished, then the overall impression is not that good. Now, how do I stop this?
