OpenOffice.org Dashboard Concept

SolidOffice (Free subscription) | 11/20/2008

For the past few weeks I’ve been developing an idea to extend OpenOffice.org 3.0’s Welcome Screen into a more complete Dashboard concept. The idea sprung from Google Chrome’s new tab screen, Spicebird’s Home screen, and the social software ideas being developed as KDE’s Open Collaboration Services. Yesterday I uploaded (well, Alexandro did it for me) a [...]

my glowing heart .. er .. panel

aseigo (Free subscription) | 11/14/2008

I was talking with Thomas Zander on irc last night about the Plasma desktop shell and how it's shaping up. I was going on about how happy I am that we're able to ship the thinnest default panel we've been able to thus far in a KDE release: KDE 3 had a 46px default, 4.0 had a 48px default, 4.1 had a more reasonable 38px default ... and 4.2 will have a much slimmer 35px default. Personally I prefer really,...

Links 13/11/2008: Cuba on Route to GNU/Linux, KDE 4.2 Raves

Boycott Novell (Free subscription) | 11/13/2008

That’s my prediction. Of course, the truth of the matter is that KDE 4.2 (trunk) flat out rocks today. Seriously. I have never been more excited about the Linux desktop than I am right now. And this, 2+ months out from our actual KDE 4.2 release. I’ve been running OpenSUSE 11 for a couple of months now, and thanks to the awesome nightly/weekly KDE 4.2/trunk packages, I’m thoroughly enjoying pretty-darned-bleeding-edg...

Six reasons OSX will not go mainstream

Love the Mac (Free subscription) | 11/13/2008

[ Neowin.net / All ] I personally know people who have switched from Windows to Mac simply because Vista suddenly introduced a load of complications into their life. The Vista user interface is nice (reminds me of KDE and a toned-down version of Compiz Fusion), but the poor performance compared to XP and Mac OS X is frustrating to many people - particularly those who don't know and don't care for...

KDE4 apps: Dolphin

polishlinux.org (Free subscription) | 11/12/2008

Dolphin is the default file manager for KDE4. It is very powerful, offering many functionalities. The developers have focused on the functionality of Dolphin - being a file manager. As a long-time user, I can say it is a very proud substitute for its older brother, Konqueror (the default file manager for KDE3). Dolphin is very [...]

KOffice Sprint 2008 (KDE.News)

LWN.net (Free subscription) | 11/11/2008

KDE.News covers the KOffice Sprint , held in Berlin. " Talking to developers revealed the status of several of the applications. The many changes in the core of KOfficelibs but also further down the stack, like KDELibs and Qt 4 forced Kexi to rewrite large parts of the application. This means despite the fact the KDE 3 version was very mature and stable, Kexi won't be joining the 2.0 release. Nonetheless,...

open... (Free subscription) | 11/10/2008

Once hackers have stopped arguing whether it's “free software” or “open source”, and discussing the relative merits of GNOME or KDE, they can always get stuck into the perennial question of whether they ought to develop applications using Mono, tied as it is to Microsoft's .NET framework, or not....
