Vertical text
by AC on Thursday 03/Apr/2003, @17:11

That looks cool. How come when KDE writes text in a vertical (rotated 90 degrees) manner, it isn't pretty and anti-aliased like normal text is? The Kate sidebars are the same way...

Cool
by Tyreth on Thursday 03/Apr/2003, @18:53

That is nice, it could be used for a number of things depending on how functional it is. Eg, directory specific scripts and links/buttons, information on directories not normally provided, etc.
Presuming that we can make our own html/whatever based sidebar entries.

Standard devices dynamically added to sidebar
by norbert on Thursday 03/Apr/2003, @22:27
|
Wouldn't it be of advantage to the KDE desktop to have some default default devices listed in the sidebar, like Floppy, CD-Rom, NFS mounts, samba shares, ...?
Of course, dynamically added as KDE detects these devices at startup.
This way one would not have to know where Distribution put their mount points.
(SuSE in /media , Mandrake in /mnt ... )
Just a suggestion.

Very nice!

I'm just developing a web based bookmark sidebar to store your bookmarks on a server and access them from every sidebar enabled browser on earth. (Mozilla, Opera, and now Konqueror). - So I was just waiting for this to come! Great work!
I have just one question though: is target="_content" on a-tags usable, as in Mozilla? If not, how would I reproduce the same functionality?
Can't await to use it daily!

Neat..but...
by Ben Rosenberg on Thursday 03/Apr/2003, @23:50

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a button that appeared when you have multiple tabs open that let you close the tab in the front like Mozilla does? Something like isn't as sexy as this but it's very useful. :)
This looks neat though...I'm not knocking it. Konq is really coming along quite nicely.

cool feature
by oGALAXYo on Thursday 03/Apr/2003, @23:56
|
Hah, this is simply too cool, Just adding all types of news to my Konqueror Sidepanel now (running CVS) but I like to suggest some sort of Grouping functionality would make it easier to differ between normal Bookmarks, Home, Printer and the Sidepanel news thingies. Maybe a separator would do the trick to distinguish and separate them.

Nice feature
by Fab on Friday 04/Apr/2003, @00:00

Couldn't it be implemented in KMail as well? Look at Evolution with its rdf-feeds. Would be really cool to have it in KMail or Kontact ...
Anyway .. cool feature
Cheers'

But why use it?
by [Lemmy] on Friday 04/Apr/2003, @00:07

... for IMHO running knewsticker on the panel eats up much less valuable desktop space?

Functionality overlapping ?
by Guillaume Laurent on Friday 04/Apr/2003, @01:32
|
I'm not sure I see the point of having this RSS-like side panel for news sites (the first feature described above). It doesn't seem to offer any advantage over RSS...

Just say no to clutter
by Fredrik C on Friday 04/Apr/2003, @04:06

People are cheering this as a 'Cool' feature, but adding all cool features of the month to the main GUI is just a bad UI design. Please have it turned off by default.

good, but...
by Iuri Fiedoruk on Friday 04/Apr/2003, @06:53

I wish that instead of doing things like that, they could return the classical toolbar option. I miss that A LOT.
Someone have a idea how I can build a similar by myself? I can add a directory entry, but it will only show directories on sidebar, not things as .desktop files from services, for example.

popup

| We all love popups right? Can't live without those, myself.
Anyhow, the point is, people using browsers without sidebar support can still go to the configure page and click the icon thingy, but instead of a sidebar entry you'll get a separate little window that you can pretend is your own personal sidebar. :-)

feature request

I haven't had chance to look at this yet, but it would be nice if you could configure it to check your history and remove entries you have already looked at.
