Help to find excellent icons for the KDE SC


We regularly check the usability of icons used in KDE applications in order to make the KDE SC more fun and easier for you to work with.

For the current test we have chosen some icons of the application: KMail.

It takes only 5 minutes of your time and helps us a lot! ...

Cool. I went though that little test. Hope it helps in what ever way it will.

Re: Lucid Release Schedule, Plans, KDE 4.4

Done. I wouldn't have selected some of the icons they did, but hey.

Hello to everybody,
I've just seen that plymouth is being integrated in k/ubuntu land for lucid.
This is a great thing because it gives us a very polished user experience
during boot (no flickers, nice artwork, animations, etc).
Another good point for kubuntu is that with plymouth ubuntu and kubuntu are
again at the same level...

Yes, I am gonna drag this dead horse up one more time so we can kill it again

Just as the KDE project feels that branding is important to them,
likewise Kubuntu should feel the same way...

KDE SC 4.4 RC1 Status in Lucid

> Kubuntu-devel >> KDE SC 4.4 RC1 Status in Lucid:

Scott Kitterman

Currently mesa in Lucid is broken and so no packages that build-depend on it
can be built. As a result, Lucid is currently a mix of 4.3.85 (Beta 2) and
4.3.90 (RC 1) packages. Getting mesa fixed will not be just a matter of a few
minutes (hopefully today).

My recommendation is don't update any Lucid systems now. It's unlikely we
will see 4.4 RC1 fully built until at least Sunday and possibly Monday even on
the fast architectures.

Both i386 and amd64 are finally built. Mesa fixed. Upgrading should be no more dangerous than normal for this point in the development cycle.

Only think I am noticing is you have to dist-upgrade and it removes usplash
and kubuntu-artwork-usplash right now.
