nokia+trolltech?

BlaBla

Hmmm, don’t know how to feel about this, i only hope the developement of the desktop version of qt (especially the unix one) doesn’t slow down, they’re a mobile company after all.
I hope it’s a good news (nokia: hint hint, lgpl :P) but every time a big corp buys someone else i always fell a certain smell…

Freeeze!

BlaBla

After two years of hectic work, of dreaming, of madness the KDE 4.0.0 release is tagged after nearly DDOSing the SVN server yesterday night :).
My best congratulations to all the amazing people that worked so hard 🙂

Some commits to Plasma

Graphics

new plasma desktopToday you will find the plasma desktop looking something like this. This after some commits I did today that fixes two things.

First of all now the text fits better into the icon applet and you won’t get anymore text always elided also when this is not necessary.

And the new white text on dark background combination (that fits the general dark color scheme of plasma) ensures that the icon text is always readable no matter what the background is. Maybe in the future the text will appear with a blurred halo/drop shadow like in the poor old kdesktop or maybe it will stay so, we’ll see 😀

Another tasty release

Software

Tasty Menu 1.0.6 fixes an ugly regression and features a Brazillian portoguese translation by Ewerton de A. Dutra.
As usual you can get it here🙂
I hope it could be the last kde3 release, but yeah, I hoped so for several releases now, there is always something broken 😛
