Preview of KDE 3.5

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it's-all-gui-and-stuff dept.

tr_x_data writes "There is a quite interesting KDE 3.5 preview with screenshots on JLP's Blog. I thought there wouldn't be so much improvement to KDE 3.4 since everyone is working on porting KDE4 to QT4, but obviously there are quite a few changes. Look forward to "Storage Media Notification", "Adblock" for Konqueror, new Tooltips, better Workspace-Pager, and so on. Read for yourself."

    Right-click on the panel, select "Configure Panel...", change the size from normal to small or tiny, and click OK.

    One thing I really like about KDE is their changelogs, very informative when you want to decide whether to upgrade or not..

    for the last time people, I am "frodo from middle eaRTH", not "middle eaST".
  3. Re:Desktop icons aligning properly yet? by Uncle_Al · · Score: 3, Informative

    I have a "Align to Grid" option...that obviously aligns all icons onto a grid, not into vertical columns or rows...that is the quasi-radon scattering you talk about. It just moves the icon to the nearest position on the grid.

    But I also have "Line up Vertically" and "Line up Horizontally" commands which...well I think do exactly as you wish ;-)

    This is in KDE 3.4 by the way...

  4. Re:Don't Interrupt by HorsePunchKid · · Score: 3, Informative

    I have found that people get used to the annoying behaviors of computers very quickly but are also quick to recognize good behavior. Just because they expect the dialog box does not mean that they don't find it irritating. Give them a better solution, and they'll gladly accept it. A new media notifier doesn't have to be exactly what they're expecting, it just has to be intuitive (admittedly, not necessarily a trivial thing!).
