| Icons text shadow
Oct 11 2004 on content mac like slack |
Hey, cool desktop.
Something I really don't like about KDE is their text shadows - even Gnome does a better job.
How did you reached to get that kind of desktop icons text shadows ? I've read that with xorg >=6.8.0 and composite activated you can do it efficiently, are you using that ? And no matter if your answer is true or false: how can we achieve the same text shadow ?
I'd like to have this in next KDE version (KDE 3.3.1 is freezed, so I suspect that it could be 3.3.2 or higher.. :-( ). |

Jul 21 2004 on poll Why do you use KDE? |
I use it because of it's really powerful, and the greatest open source platform technology at the moment.
It's really good integrated via kio, dcop, kparts, xml, modular&flexible and fast konqueror, etc. It's developed in C++.
It's a good open source developer platform because of the above and kdevelop, Qt designer, kommander..!
It is very flexible, good look and easy to get on with the user, and despite it's not lightweight, but aa bit heavy to me, it's getting better every release.
It's kinda coool. And has a lot of apps despite it lacks some of them, but you still can use mozilla (I love khtml but...), openoffice (I love koffice and kexi!! but...) and gimp in kde, and I hope that it's integration in the desktop get better (I mean this kind of integration: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/5214, http://usefulinc.com/edd/blog/2004/7/21#00:28).
But I think that kde should focus evolve towards CLR and something like XUL, and more integration and even developers integration with the operative system. Perhaps SuSE Linux did a good job here integrating Yast2 in Kcontrol ;-).
Overall, I love KDE but I keep one eye in the future.
Cheers,

"2. The code in CVS is horribly idented"
I just thought: Using Reg. Exp. in a simple bash script you could replace every 4/8 spaces of the lines' beginning with a tab.
Maybe even there's a Kdevelop plugin for that, if not, there should be one! :P
About the i18n translations, Now, I'll checkout the CVS code and start translating.
BTW, have you read the bug report I mentioned? Actually It's essentially about the same as kdock: docking any apps into the dock.
But it differ in the way of docking: instead of executting kodck and clicking in the app we want to dock, it says that it would be nice "to have a "Dock into panel" option in the window operations menu for every window to do something like minimize to tray".
The only problem I've found so far is that it would only work in kwin of course..
I know you've already added the i18n support, but anyway, I'll tell you that I'm learning C++, so I most probably try to play with the code, but I don't think I can do something productive with it... uhm who knows ? . |
