Themes for children and old people

It would be good if will be themes for children and old people with big visible fonts and icons in both Ubuntu and Kubuntu.

If you add somehow most simplified panel and and menu view for most important things like web browsing and gaming, we will not need think how to configure it.

Ubuntu is linux for human beings, it means for everybody. None of linux distributions has this feature, let Ubuntu be the first who has it.

Addition: 1. Big cursor with big clicable area setting
2. Disabled keyboard repeating? When one presses a key, reaction might not be good to enter only one letter - it's not useful.
3. Big fonts, big icons and widow decorations.
( 4. A RADICAL idea: home directory set as the desktop - $DESKTOP=~ - all files of old man or child are on desktop, and there is no need to click on 'home' icon)

Easier photo printing  
Ubuntu

When printing photos from Digikam or Gwenview it's easy to mistake:
- Digikam's and Gwenview's 'landscape' and 'portrait' are different!
- When printing photo 4x3 on 10x15cm paper from Digikam you cannot choose to print photo whith white borders, only to cut some piece of photo. So you must use Gwenview for printing those photos. And then you cannot choose to print several photos in Gwenview.
- When you're printing a photo all the dialogs are the same as you're printing a document.

PROPOSITION:
When you've chosen to print an image you can choose to print:
a photo - and then go on with simple and understandable dialogs for photo printing,
or image - and then go on with standard printing dialog.

Photo printing dialogs can be used by default in Digikam.
(All of this is meant to be proposed for Ibex' KDE4)

Large dafault set of plasmoids in 8.10  
Written by nivus the 22 Apr 08 at 08:50. Category: Graphics. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Please include large set of plasmoids and free dash applets. Many users use kubuntu locally without internet, and they want to use Plasma fully too.

Make Adept more stable  
Written by nivus the 2 Apr 08 at 07:06. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Adept installer is highly unstable. Every time when you're installing a big number of packages, it fails, and you must use 'apt-get -f install'. That's why I use Synaptic because of its stability. But it's not normal.

Please, make Adept the stable application.

Use Oxygen theme for Firefox in KDE4  
Written by nivus the 22 Jun 08 at 09:32. Category: Look and Feel. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
When installed in kubuntu, Firefox must use Oxygene style by default. It may be, for example, Kde4 + Firefox3 0.10 ( http://ramonantonio.net/kde-firefox/ ), or https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/7962

Make KDE session remember OpenOffice' windows  
Written by nivus the 9 Apr 08 at 08:59. Category: Office. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
When you log out from KDE in Kubuntu Gutsy and leave OpenOffice' windows opened, KDE don't remember what documents was opened in those windows and at start of new session just opens one window of OpenOffice. In Debian GNU/Linux there was not such issue when I used it. It's very disturbing, because when you work on some project and need to edit many documents at the same time, you need to open them again if you turned off the computer. Please, fix that issue.
