Battery Improvements in KDE Plasma 4.4
,----[ Quote ]
| The battery applet in KDE Plasma 4.4 has
| gotten some nice improvements. First of
| all, I wasnât really happy with the layout
| of its popup dialog. It looked messy and
| didnât scale well with bigger fonts. During
| Tokamak3 in September, I started improving
| this. To make it look calmer, I reduced the
| amount of edges widgets are aligned to. The
| previous version used nested layouts, which
| lead to widgets not properly aligned with
| each other. This creates a rather messy
| look. For 4.4, Iâve reworked the layout and
| reduced everything to only one layout and
| attached the battery in the popup off-
| layout in the top-right corner. I thought
| about using an AnchorLayout for this, but a
| simple setGeometry() to position the
| battery top-right would work as well, so I
| went for KISS. I also replaced the text on
| the "Configure Power Management" button
| with a tooltip, reducing visual clutter but
| keeping this handy in-context shortcut to
| easily get at the more advanced power
| managment settings.

Review: Gnome Shell
,----[ Quote ]
| Gnome Shell is a redesign to the way the
| gnome desktop looks and works. I find it
| very interesting, because it stops trying
| to base itself on windows' functionality
| and design (although gnome isn't exactly
| like windows' desktop, it had to many
| similarities to not have been based on it),
| and instead it consists of an original
| design and functionality.
