Kommander front-end
> KDE-Apps.org > Kommand Center
Type:
KDE Kommander Script
Description:
Based om Klikit Linux Kommand Center by sqlpython.
Removed Klikit Linux branding and added more tabs and buttons.
Believe I better organized the KCM access and locations under the tabs.
I believe that this is a better alternative as a Kcontrol replacement layout than system-config. Though it needs a lot more work and it should be made into a full blown stand alone program.
Right now just doing layout work to get a better idea of how to make it work better.
The interface is rather stupid so it shows access to KCMs you may not have.
Like I said its a start and sqlpython did a great job in starting this project.
