KMess, Live/MSN Messenger for Linux

Chat & Messenging by rubenvd 46 comments

It would be great to have MS Office Communicator support in Kmess. No other KDE IM client provides this yet.

It has been around as part of libpurple library from Pidgin for quite sometime.

Thanks. - Feb 20 2011

rekonq Web Browser

Browser by adjam 290 comments

Thanks, I thought so too. KDE proxy module has been ignore since 4.0, i believe. This is making both Konqueror and rekonq unattractive for me ... i use KDE as my primary desktop at work and nothing really works without proxy! - Aug 23 2010
rekonq Web Browser

Browser by adjam 290 comments

If there is one thing rekonq (and KDE4 in general) need to give love to is proxy settings.

As of now, only manual proxy settings are reliable (in KDE.) Automatic proxy URL does not work.

For example, even with the latest rekonq, using a proxy, the thumbnails on the new tab do not update. The progress circle goes on turning in all of them. Without proxy, it works fine.

Be-Shell/Bespin by getaceres 7 comments

Hi,
Very nice config for bespin. However, I cannot get the title and the menubar to look like in your screenshots.
Running bespin r815 on openSUSE. Does it need a later version of bespin? - Nov 23 2009

I really like the window decoration very much. However, somehow it messes the colours on the menubar of Firefox where the foreground and background are essentially the same -- black! - Nov 11 2009

yaWP (Yet Another Weather Plasmoid)

Plasma 4 Extensions by PlasmaFactory 1198 comments

That's great. However, blank city is no better than an incorrect default (except in Johannesburg, at the moment)

I don't know plasma internals, but when using Plasma data engines, isn't it possible to pick the city based on the timezone and location set in the system during installation? - Oct 03 2009
yaWP (Yet Another Weather Plasmoid)

Plasma 4 Extensions by PlasmaFactory 1198 comments

Hi,
Is it possible to pick the default city based on the timezone defined in the system? I am in Australia/Sydney timezone and each time I add yawp plasmoid, I have to switch manually to Sydney.
A bit more localization (by default) would be great. - Sep 25 2009

Skulpture

Application Styles by skulptor 369 comments

Hi,
Its a nice theme and the overall appearance is pleasant. However, its too square. Can you provide an option to make the widgets rounded at the corners?

It would be great if all widgets could have rounded corners, including window decorations.

Thanks. - May 28 2009
STasks

Plasma 4 Extensions by mbaszczewski 445 comments

The good:
Works perfectly in 4.2.x.

The not-so-good:
Does not work well with 4.3SVN (Qt4.5). When added to the panel, it does not take up maximum space available (which it does in 4.2.x.) Due to this, my system tray and the clock etc spread out and look ugly. What's more, as I open/close windows, the clock and system tray shrink which looks ugly.

Any reason why it should behave well until 4.2 and not beyond?

FYI, I am compiling it on openSUSE running 4.3SVN with Qt4.5 - Mar 22 2009
STasks

Plasma 4 Extensions by mbaszczewski 445 comments

I tried the first version and it was quite buggy and erratic with expansion of tasks. Also, it would take up very small space on the panel and my system tray looked huge!

Anyway, this version is good enough for me to replace KDE standard taskbar altogether.

Keep it up. This is a formidable alternative as a task manager. - Mar 10 2009
STasks

Plasma 4 Extensions by mbaszczewski 445 comments

Just wanted to suggest that when 'Expand tasks' is enabled, the current focussed window task should remain expanded! - Feb 23 2009
STasks

Plasma 4 Extensions by mbaszczewski 445 comments

Its so good that I've already replaced my standard task bar with Staks!

I am running KDE 4.3 (from openSUSE unstable repo's) and it works like a charm.

With a few improvements like Staks taking as much space as possible on the panel (like the standard taskbar), it will be a must-have app. Right now, my systray looks too big and so does the clock on the panel -- because Staks takes up too little space :-)

Nevertheless, a very fine effort indeed. The animation with colour with "Expand Tasks" option is very cool!!

Tasty Menu

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by mart 499 comments

Hi,
Tasty menu is really "tasty" bit I'm disappointed each time I have to knock it off Kicker due to high memory usage. Over a period of time, my desktop becomes close to unresponsive.

The moment I remove the applet from kicker, desktop returns to normal.

Is this a general complain or am I the only one getting this behaviour.

Btw, I always compile it from source since there is no package for PCLinuxOS, my distro of choice. - May 03 2007

KDM Vista like Theme

KDM3 Themes by EstebanTristan 30 comments

Hi,
I get a 'Cannot open config file' or something when loading this theme in Appearance and Themes -> Splash Screen page of KDE Control Centre.

I also tried the manual method described in 'How to install' but the theme did not show up on the Splash Sceen page.

What could be wrong? - Apr 04 2007
Tasty Menu

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by mart 499 comments

Definitely more usable than both KBFX and kickoff.

Only the scrolling in the last pane is buggy. I can never seem to scroll to the last application in the 3rd pane -- it scrolls back up after a moment or two. Is this a known issue?

Otherwise, its already the default menu on my desktop. - Feb 21 2007
Freevo

Video Apps by vasile 4 comments

I've read over and over again that MythTV is a pain to install. Looking forward to trying out Freevo as an alternative "media center".

Thanks. - Nov 21 2006
KMediaFactory

Video Apps by pdamsten 52 comments

I understand that the original poster is getting the error while using .avi files -- please correct me, if not so.

However, I get the same error even when I'm using only mpeg files to start with. I followed these steps:

1. Add Media
2. Choose Template
3. Select Output -> DVD Author Project
4. DVD Directory
This is where I get a stream of errors like: Skipping sector, waiting for first VOBU...

All required/optional libraries were found on compilation. I am using PCLinuxoS.

Future of SimpleKDE -Raleigh-

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by nunogomez 11 comments

Rather than pushing it up to occupy 85% of the desktop, how about pushing it up a comfortable height, say 1/10th of the screen and showing thumbnails of running apps with a slider or left/right arrows at each edge to see thumbnails that are not visible in the screen.

IMO, a similar concept can be used to switch desktops as well. A slider at that drops down from the top of the screen and then one can choose the desktop required (using its thumbnail) or slide left/right to show other desktops.

Maybe i'll try and post gui mockups for the ideas above ...

Cheers. - Oct 26 2005
