simple calculator (widthout gnome dependices)?

[SteveRiley]

My KCalc shows exactly the version information shown in yours, yet like SecretCode, mine looks like his -- not like yours. What Desktop Theme are you using?

Air.

More info:

steve@x1:~$ apt-cache policy kcalc
kcalc:
  Installed: 4:4.8.3-0ubuntu0.1~ppa1
  Candidate: 4:4.8.3-0ubuntu0.1~ppa1

What a crazy mystery!

Identical info, yet differently configured KCalc apps. Interesting. My Desktop Theme is Oxygen.

Extremely bizarre.

My destkop/application appearance stuff is pretty much default (couple minor changes):

Application Appearance:
* Style = Oxygen
* Colors = Oxygen
* Icons = Oxygen Ionized

Workspace Appearance:
* Window decorations = Oxygen
* Cursor theme = Constantine
* Desktop theme = Air

I don't much care for the Oxygen theme's dark panel.

[Snowhog]

I don't much care for the Oxygen theme's dark panel.

I do, because I prefer a dark themed desktop.

[GreyGeek]

how did u do that, my "simple mode" has 2 more coloums ?

Good question. My "simple" kcalc gives me:



and I found no settings that would remove the "Constants" menu item, or the other buttons which are not shown on Steve's image.

[SteveRiley]

OK, this is just too weird.

Same for you guys?

It obviously has a built in IQ checker, and people like me and Steve get the "simplified" simple mode.

[sartic]

after upgrading kde to 4.8.3 i have simple mode like that!
speedcrunch (on screenshots) has even bigger window

[bra|10n]

Did you add an additional repository to get kde 4.8.3?

[sartic]

yeah, ppa:

[bra|10n]

Thanks.

[SecretCode]

Being a luddite I am still on KCalc 2.9, KDE 4.7.4 ... so I won't participate in comparisons of md5sums and so on ...

My first thought was this was a new feature in KDE 4.8 - and sartic got the simpler version after upgrading - but Snowhog and GG have the same less-simple KCalc - so I think we have unearthed a mystery.

Is the ppa for 4.8.3 the significant factor? SR, kubicle - did you use that?

Yep, I'm on KDE 4.8.3.
