With great pleasure I would like announce creation of the kde-graphics-devel mailing list. The list is developer oriented and will be the central place for all eye-candy development within KDE. Developers and researchers from the computer graphics field are welcomed and strongly encouraged to subscribe. Everything computer graphics related will be on topic - that includes developments within the X.org community, uses of OpenGL within a desktop environment or simply sharing your latest computer graphics research findings with others.

KDE is known to be remarkably configurable. Unfortunately up till now there was no GUI application exposing that. The problem got more evident with the coming of the wonderful KConfig XT framework. Developers and administrators wanted to have nice graphical tools to edit and create configurations. KDE developers listened. We introduce three applications which let administrators and developers take full control over their desktops. Read More

I'm very happy to announce a new document for inspiring KDE hackers, entitled "Common Programming Mistakes". The document aims to combine the experience of many of the top KDE developers about the Qt and KDE frameworks dos and don'ts. The way they were usually passed on to the next generation was by letting the youngsters make the mistakes and then yell at them in public. We will go over things, which are not necessarily bugs, but which make the code either slower or less readable. The document will be expanding as we see the need for it. Read More

Integration of GTK+ applications in KDE has taken another leap forward. This has historically been a bit of a problem; the fact that Qt and GTK+ rely on different event loops was making it impossible to, for example, use dialogs from one toolkit while building the GUI in another. QtGTK is a library which integrates the Qt event loop in the Glib event loop. This makes it possible to freely use KDE dialogs, DCOP, KDE IO and other KDE technology in any GTK+ application just like they would be native. From now on, every GTK+ application can easily integrate with KDE. Read More

As some of you may know, KDE 3.2 will introduce a heavily improved configuration framework, known as KConfig XT. This new framework extends, not deprecates our current configuration API. To help developers understand KConfig XT I have created a short tutorial (ps, kwd) available on developer.kde.org. The tutorial goes over all the basic concepts of the new framework and hopefully will make your life a little easier. Read More
