  KDE Commit-Digest for 9th March 2008
Developer Posted by Danny Allen on Sunday 16/Mar/2008, @19:45
from the blah-blah-blah dept.
In this week's KDE Commit-Digest: Support for alternate direction layouts (vertical, horizontal) in Kickoff. Improvements in the Device Notifier applet, with support for window icons in the Pager Plasmoid in Plasma, with the "Trash" applet moving into kdebase, the "Luna" applet moving to extragear, and the "Contacts" and "Converter" runners moving into kdereview. Support for online play (using the GGZ network) in the KSquares game. A new default theme for the KSame game. More maintenance work in Kooka. Better interaction between Okular and the KDE text-to-speech system. Full support for colour schemes in the interface of Digikam. Lots of old bugs fixed in the mimetype configuration dialog of Konqueror. Continued work and optimisations in KHTML. The start of the ability to extend GUI's with scripting actions using Kross. KRatingPainter becomes a global way to manipulate ratings throughout KDE. A "Konsole" mode and "Web Interface" are added to KTimeTracker. Long-awaited support for inserting signatures at the top of email replies in KMail. The ability to store all attachments in a specified directory, and a status bar are added to Mailody. KOrganizer gets a new "Month" view. More work on the "online reader" syncronization project in Akregaror. Work on general Zeroconf support in KDE, and particularly in KRDC. Continued porting of Kommander to KDE 4. The start of moves to make Phonon the only output engine in Amarok 2. Read the rest of the Digest here.

Still using butt ugly fonts
by Gogs on Monday 17/Mar/2008, @02:48
I've been following the progress of KDE 4 for a while now. Firstly, congratulations to all the devs/other peeps for all their hard work.

However, EVERY screenshot I've seen has had THE most ugly fonts and font rendering.

I know that's not the KDE devs fault directly, but surely there must be a half decent looking font somewhere.

The default for most screenshots is WAAAAAY too big, not proportioned correctly, and DEFINTELY not rendered correctly.

Please note this is NOT a troll or anything. I genuinely would like KDE to succeed, but for me at the moment (indeed ever since I started using linux) the fonts issue is still a long way from being solved.

just two features !
by djouallah mimoune on Monday 17/Mar/2008, @06:01
i have installed kde 4.0.66 from opensuse build service (thanks opensuse u are doing an amazing job) just two small complain about plasma.

- do you think icons on the desktop need those applet handler thing( rezise and rotate), and the black rectangle behind them is too ugly.

- the panel rock, just lacking the ability to move applet.

i have been running kde 4 from the first alpha release, and i must say the last snapshot is absolutely stable and ready for daily use.

thanks for your work.

Oxygen Progress?

Does anyone know if the Oxygen theme is still being actively developed? There hasn't been an update in quite a while.

bugs.kde.org
by gissi on Monday 17/Mar/2008, @11:47
May I ask whether somebody currently works on making KDE's bugtracking system more usable? Something like Ubuntu's launchpad would be very nice as it'd make contributing bug reports much easier. Currently, bugs.kde.org feels a) old and dusty and is b) ultra-cryptic (try to get a list of all akregator-related bugs - you have to use this complex query form and will then get a large table full of strange abreveations like Sev, Pri, Plt, SuS, Gen, LO etc. and with bug reports from 2004 at its top).

MacOS-like menus ?
by Keiran on Wednesday 19/Mar/2008, @02:13
Still nothing new about Bug #153027: "No MacOS-like menu on top of screen in KDE 4.0" ? Is there still somebody working on it, or was the idea dropped into the Pit of Oblivion ?
