This stuff includes a lot of stuff requested by Mandrake, but I was unable to get ready in time for KDE2. It would be cool if we could get it in Cooker as soon as I get a go ahead for committing for KDE CVS. I'm forwarding so you can see what's down the pipe ;-) -------- Original Message -------- Subject: A ton of sh*t ;-) Resent-Date: 17 Oct 2000 00:38:03 -0000 Resent-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Resent-CC: recipient list not shown: ; Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2000 19:39:40 -0500 From: mosfet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: Linux Mandrake To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Okay, well it looks like KDE2 is going to packagers... Has the CVS been marked yet? If not when will it be? I want to integrate the stuff I have been doing into CVS, then I'll release experimental tarballs with the new stuff. I would prefer this to forking, which was my previous plan ;-) This includes: 1) The new KWin style. Matthias and I both think it's cooler (we've been going over the code), but evidently it's too late for KDE2.0. Very well, but I want to get it into CVS ASAP. 2) KWM compatible enhancements including separate active/inactive configurations. 3) New widget style stuff. Extended color schemes are ready, as well as the new highcolor style. This is very cool stuff and extends configurable colors significantly on highcolor displays. You can do neat things like select separate colors for menubars, toolbars, scrollbar buttons and sliders, etc... Also, this is what I actually work on and maintain. Includes an expanded KControl color scheme module. 4) Misc. KWin client enhancements such as mouse over for ModSystem, and individual color selection for each of the buttons. 5) A new pixie. The new widget theme engine still isn't done, but I'll commit it as soon as the CVS is tagged for the 2.1 release - it won't cause bin incompatibility with apps. Neither will it work very well, but is much better than either the current theme engine or GTK themes. Let me know when, and I will commit!
