http://ivan.fomentgroup.org/blog Free Software Developer and Evangelist Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:37:07 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Well, this is one of the Aaron-style "explain to the unbelievers why they are wrong". This is in response to http://blog.kov.eti.br/?p=19 (or you can see the translated version) Disclaimer: I have nothing against Gnome, I am mentioning it since it was used as a comparison in the original post. Well, as all ... http://ivan.fomentgroup.org/blog/2008/07/04/response-to-lancelot-kde-and-gnome-showed-in-aaron-colour/ Still not there It is time to admit it - Lancelot will not be ready for 4.1. (like you didn't see that coming) I know I promised that it will be in a working shape by 4.o, and finished for 4.1, but there were a couple of obstacles for that goal. First, there ... http://ivan.fomentgroup.org/blog/2008/07/03/missed-the-41-train/ I had encountered a blog on Troll's website (can not recall where exactly it was, and who posted it... if you find it, please notify me) about creating Java objects from C++. More precisely, creating Qt Jambi widgets and using them in a C++ program. It gave me an idea. How ... http://ivan.fomentgroup.org/blog/2008/06/05/java-in-plasma/ Although my intention was not to make the Contacts section for 4.1 (that is to disable it) and to wait for Telepathy and Akonadi to be integrated into KDE PIM, I just couldn't wait. Lancelot now shows on-line contacts from Kopete, altogether with contact pictures. Unfortunately, the D-Bus interface to Kopete ... http://ivan.fomentgroup.org/blog/2008/05/25/kopete-contacts-in-lancelot/ Well, I confess that I could be called lazy and all, since there is not that much visible progress in Lancelot's world. But I have a couple of excuses: Exams. Unfortunately, I have obligations beside KDE, Plasma and Lancelot. If somebody would like to pay me to do KDE ... http://ivan.fomentgroup.org/blog/2008/05/23/back-on-track-lancelot/ I was a bit jealous when I saw the Raptor menu's site, so I decided that Lancelot needed one too. While compiling the latest KDE (and Plasma) from SVN I had nothing better to do than web design. The result is available right here. It is not finished yet - ... http://ivan.fomentgroup.org/blog/2008/05/03/site-for-lancelot-and-status-update/ Ovde imate članak o KDE 4.0 koji je izašao sa mesec dana zakašnjenja, i sa nekoliko što gramatičkih. što semantičkih grešaka napravljenih od strane lektora. (Original *nema* te greške, i to mogu da dokažem :) ) http://ivan.fomentgroup.org/blog/2008/04/02/pcpress-i-kde-4o/ Plasma now supports different looks for panels depending on the screen edge where the panel is located. You can find more details about how to make this kind of themes at KDE's Techbase. Basically if you want to create a custom look for a left panel, just create all background ... http://ivan.fomentgroup.org/blog/2008/03/23/theme-contest-and-new-features/ This is a post from the Dot, I'm just copying the announcement here as well. So, if you would like to comment, just do it there please. The KDE Plasma team is inviting everyone to participate in a contest to create Plasma themes from which a select few will be chosen ... http://ivan.fomentgroup.org/blog/2008/03/21/plasma-themes-contest/ First of all, Lancelot can be resized from now on. Just like any other window - drag any edge or corner, and you'll change it's size. But that is not the main reason behind my blogging about this. Since Lancelot /is/ a ground for experiments, here's another one. Instead of just changing ... http://ivan.fomentgroup.org/blog/2008/03/08/lancelot-and-resize-feedback/
