As you can see, Plasma now also supports themes, I would love to see the Fluffy Bunny theme get in there by default :D
There still are some issues with layouting of widgets, sometimes they overlay each other. And it's pretty hard to move them on the panel (hint: you can't) (edit: Binner just blogged about a patch he has ready which will make this possible!!!). I hope these can be worked out before a release, as such things are very crucial to a 'finished' feel. But despite these issues, it's getting more and more fun to play with Plasma - pity I forgot to put the ball on those screenshots... (Edit, I didn't forget it, it's there, just look under the comics plasmoid) Yes, a ball. Red. Round. You can throw it around, it bounces of the side of the screen and the panels. Nice demonstration of physics on the Plasma desktop. I wonder who will come up with a patch which lets you throw all widgets around ;-)
Oh, and check the Plasma Roadmap on Techbase, it has some nice stuff already. I hope they can get to all of it...
The reason I don't use KDE4 as my main login is I'm addicted to the top panel being 'Mac OS-style' and I can't even use KDE3 apps without disabling that in my KDE3 config or not using KDE3 apps.
ReplyDeleteI hope that feature gets to be alt least part of KDE4. I'll be much happier. Of course, I'll probably need to switch KDE3 apps into menu-in-window and have KDE4 apps be in the upper taskbar, but that's just the opposite of what I'm doing now.
@theGZeus: yeah, that's a feature waiting for someone to implement/port it ;-)
ReplyDeleteAh I see the trolls still haven't fixed a bug I noticed (and told them about) a couple of years ago. Namely rotated text looks shit. It is all jaggledy and the kerning is way off. Would be cool if someone could fix it (not that I expect many people to actually use rotated post-its!
ReplyDeletei don't think it's actually that easy to mak rotated text fast and nice. other toolkits (e.g wxGTK) just draw into an image non-rotated and then rotate that image. now, qt is a lot of better than that in this area
ReplyDeleteWhat's happening to PlanetKDE? It has this post from MARCH on front page.
