KDE 3.1 Beta Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the get-it-on dept.

    Actually, they were almost completely implemented by somebody that is not a "hardcore" konq/khtml developer. I.e., somebody decided they really wanted them, wrote them up, and then several other people helped with the debugging and configuration. I really wish I remembered the guy's name, but it's actually been a few months, and my memory is poor :-P But here, like in all other open source projects, the stuff gets done that people want. If the vocal minority includes somebody with the talent to implement tabs, then, guess what, here you go :-) And enough different people have piped up about loving tabs, that I think it is more than just a matter of "not knowing how to use their window manager".

    All that said, I dislike tabs, tried them, and haven't used them since B-)

    Yes you are spoiled.

    1) click on one of the links from www.kde-look.org
    2) read the 4 line instructions on how to install your newly downloaded theme
    3)install it

    Whoops, now your KDE is purty.
