Just a small update – Lancelot‘s library received a great improvement – support for dropping the items into the lists. Although this doesn’t seem much, since L’s widgets are all totally custom-made and generally speaking implemented from scratch, trust me, it is

The first improvement noticeable to the outside world, that is, to you beloved users is that the Favourites list can now be reordered by simple drag and drop. And that you can add items to the Favourites by drag and drop.

(just imagine a mouse cursor dragging the Kontact item…)

p.s. This has reminded me, I’ve really got to make a new Lancelot screencast soon…

Just as a note, since Air is now the default theme for Plasma (and what’s worse, it is even called “default” instead of “air”), you’ll see that the Lancelot themes in 4.3 RC are screwed up. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to fix this before 4.3 RC tagging today (I was too late to discover the issue in the first place).

It is fixed both in the trunk and in the 4.3 branch, but, as I said, not on the time. So, just that you know, it is already fixed and all will be well in final 4.3.

I am rather excited to announce that Lancelot is one of the finalists in the SourceForge community choice awards for the present year, and that it is a finalist in no more and no less than two categories – “Best Visual Design” and “Most Likely To Change The Way You Do Everything”.

I want to thank all supporters, and I’d like to invite you yet again to join the click-fest called the ‘voting’. By clicking the image above, you’ll get a small questionnaire where you can choose your favourite projects. Lancelot will be automatically selected in its respective categories. Naturally, you can choose another project for those, but I strongly encourage you not to do that

Apart from Lancelot, I do suggest you to vote for Avogadro (“Best Project for Academia” category) and Audacity (if you find it as good as I do). For the other categories, I’ll leave the suggestions to other people and you.

Cheerio, and one big THANK YOU!
