Posted by timothy on from the polisheder dept.

Michael Pyne writes "It's finally out, KDE 3.3.1 has been released with many bugfixes and translation improvements! Those who just want to start downloading can visit the KDE 3.3.1 Info page, which also includes packages for Red Hat, SuSE, Conectiva, and Yoper." wikinerd adds some details, writing that the new version "fixes a number of bugs in Konqueror, improves JuK and enables VPL in the Quanta webpage editor. The new Plastik theme is very fast and may become the default style in 3.4."

    Nope. There's a global keybindings panel in the Control Center. You can also generally access the same panel (slimmed down to only the commands that the app uses) by clicking on "Settings|Configure Shortcuts...". There is a UI standard for many of the shortcuts, although you can globally change them to "Windows like" or "Mac like" or "Emacs like", etc.

    It's available in 3.3 right now. It has very subtle animations, nice low contrast in points that shouldn't stand out and high contrast for the items (like slider bars) that you want to see. Buttons have a soft glow when you mouse over them, the critical ones (close window) glow red. Progress bars have a very subtle stippling that moves as the bar grows.

    Very nice looking, totally rendered on the fly and surprisingly fast, even on slow machines (no pixmaps to load, so it's got a small memory footprint, too).
