KDE Pinheiro

What is raptor? Raptor is a an amazing project i have been working in the last few days. It trays to be a fresh new way of finding your desktop applications, and interacting with its users. It should be very easy to configure it to be in the way you want it to be. And it will display more info about the application, what does it do and what for. You can find more images here and the ground base document here . Join us at #raptor to know more about thsi wonderful project. DIGG

After a rather big period without actually making icons, cause I seem to have dispersed myself into several other areas of oxygen work, today i decided to actually do some icons. And decided to do the icon of one of apps i use the most in KDE, akregator... Hope every one likes it, I do! DIGG

One thing that we in in the open source world have some problems with is the bad concept the round globe is, different hours around the globe and that developer you need is sleeping, and you have no clue wen will he be up. without doing some world time zones math. So and in the spirit of "I'm to lazy to do that" we are creating another extension to the clock so you can with ease find hot wen the blasted ping will work. :) Now the pretty picture. The border might be a good idea to be adjustable in size, specially in the panel and wen an app. ix maximized. PS this are plasmoids not actual windows

Just some more images of the work done so far on the extensions for the plasma clock, that i have been working on with Riccardo Iaconelli . Right now i´m working on a time zone extension. The one you can see here is the date extension... Basically, what you get when clicking the date area ;). And a more integrated version. DIGG

On the last months people have been complaining a lot about the lack of contrast, and the "all white" issues on the oxygen style, I have said also lots of times that it is mostly a pallet issue. But the message is not getting out, so... i will do what i always do... Show pretty pictures. The following images are just my vision of KDE 4 and I have absolute no guaranty it will be like this, but as the oxygen style goes it is in this direction we are working, sure there are open issues thats the main reason i have several versions of the same element but i think the "all white" and no contrast is the easiest thing to fix has our mocks clearly state. http://nuno-icons.com/images/estilo/ another one DIGG P.S. No its not a Vista clone has a mater of fact i try not to look at Vista so i don't copy it. Not that i would any way: Anybody that knows my work knows that I'm a black fan guess that is the biggest contact point with Vista.

Today Matthew Woehlke made the radio buttons look like this..... Evidently I'm extremely happy more work being done in more areas of the style like the check boxes. Tomorrow we hope to have the final list of wallpapers done, so Sunday we can unveil the big winners. DIGG

T his is the last day you can submit your wallpaper to the great kde oxygen wallpaper contest, until now we had 510 entries with more than 1000 different wallpapers, some of theme have extreme high quality I'm pretty sure kde 4 will ship some of the most beautifully wallpapers ever.
