The KDE Raptor Menu - A quick overview
,----[ Quote ]
| Being a KDE lover myself, I'm always intrigued by some of the different
| features and software that come out for KDE. The latest is the Raptor menu.
| It's certainly an interesting menu system and one that I think deserves
| closer attention.

Cairo-Dock Adds Slick, Custom App-Launching to Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux only: We're big fans of application dock and launcher Avant Window
| Navigator around here, but free utility Cairo-Dock makes a strong showing as
| well, not least for its highly-configurable and slick appearance, as well as
| a good range of plug-ins and third-party applets.

These two bits make GNU/Linux at least as pretty as Mac OS X,
5 Linux distributions that rival OS X for looks
,----[ Quote ]
| All of these distributions are freely available, so if you like the look of
| one, then just click on the link to take you to the website, where you can
| download an ISO image and burn it to disc to try. I know that some Mac users
| hate having to use Windows if they're at a friend or relative's house, so if
| you like the look of one of these, you may want to keep a copy handy to use
| as an alternative under those circumstances. Also, Linux has the same kind of
| resistance to viruses and malware as OS X, so you have those advantages as
| well - always worth having if you're going to use a computer that could have
| all kinds of junk on it! Live CD's can also be handy if your computer won't
| boot due to problems and you need to use it in a hurry.

First look: KDE 4.1 alpha 1 very promising
,----[ Quote ]
| The open-source KDE desktop environment is built on top of Trolltech's Qt
| development toolkit. One of the most significant changes in KDE 4.1 is the
| adoption of Qt 4.4, a new version of the toolkit which includes important
| features such as a built-in WebKit-based HTML rendering widget and support
| for placing widgets on canvases. These features will bring some new
| capabilities to KDE's Plasma desktop shell.

KDE 4 rev 802150: Work in progress
,----[ Quote ]
| KWin with Wobbly Windows
|
| Kwin features a new visual effect known to most of you from Compiz: the
| Wobbly Windows. Only a few days ago the settings panel for this effect had
| tons of detailed options. Most of these options have been disabled now, the
| only thing that can be configured is the window deformation level while in
| motion. This seems more appropriate for a common user since the number of
| configurable settings was overwhelming before. One minor flaw that I noticed
| in KWin Wobble Windows is that the window shadow is not properly deformed (it
| does not adjust to the current shape of the window).
