KDE 4.3 Released
Jos Poortvliet writes "After another 6 months of hard work by over 700 people, after fixing over 10,000 bugs and granting 2,000 wishes, KDE 4.3, or 'Caizen,' is here (the release takes its nickname from the Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement). The KDE Desktop Workspace introduces, besides the usual stability and speed improvements, new widgets, the ability to 'peek' in a folder with folderview, and activities tied to virtual desktops. The KDE Application Suites feature improvements in the utilities like a more formats supported in Ark and the return of the Linux Infrared Remote Control system. Instant messenger Kopete introduces an improved contact list and KOrganizer can sync with Google Calendar. Kmail supports inserting inline images into email and the Alarm notifier has gained export functionality, drag and drop, and has an improved configuration. The KDE Application Development platform has seen work on integrating the Social Desktop and the new system tray protocol from Freedesktop.org. You can watch a screencast of the Desktop Workspace here."
Since we're splitting hairs - you mean spelled?
For starters, why is everything gray. Can't they break the tradition where the whole UI uses only two colors (one for "3d" elements, one for list backgrounds), and add some differentiation?
Great idea. Why don't you design a new theme at your taste and submit it.
Your anonymous coward origin just shows how much you are trolling. You probably never wrote a line of code on your life.
Why is it a shame? Because you don't like the current ones.
Guess what. Not everybody have the same tastes, and it's impossible to please Greeks and Trojans at the same time.
There's no tool that allow regular people to design themes.
The same suggestion than before. You can build one.
Or better. You can pay someone to build you one, if you don't know C++.
Just don't come here whining about how it's a shame that the KDE devs don't work for you for free to make you a theme that you do like.
Yes but since KDE can't do "good change" dropping the K is at least honest on their part. Caizen is a meaningless word and that fits KDE to a T.
I'd go on a Vegan diet but the delivery time from Vega is too long. --brownkitty
WOW Kmail has in-line images welcome to 1994, I use Linux in business (not IT) and not having good html and image editing features in an email client is just "DUMB". So now I am so used to using Thunderbird that I cant see any logical reason for learning K-(crippled)-mail. Don't laugh I have been complaining about the lack of basic html support in Kmail for over 6 years, I just gave up complaining and now have assigned kmail to the failed bin of software history.
