Kicker has been already ported to Qt4 by KDE4 devs and was included in KDE4 alpha release (that alpha was actually more usable than 4.0). It was then dropped.
Possibly someone can resume work on it but he should be warned that Qt3support which supposedly uses KDE4's kicker will not be included in Qt5 so the work is most likely will be obsolete anyway.
Although the same fate will await many other KDE4 applications, because most of them still use Qt3support libraries.
This makes me disbelieve that transition to Qt5 will be smooth: only Qt4-native applications such as Plasma will be easily ported to Qt5 while the majority of other applications (Konqueror, Kwin among them) who still use Qt3support, will possibly be dropped or rewritten from scratch.
Yes – they will all die…
Anyway it would be quite unreasonable to make any artwork for a project that throws other's work so easily as KDE4 does.
Please state facts and not just allegations. Or leave it, I cannot be bothered to answer since you ignore what people who are more competent than you state – and I am not referring to me.
This is a double standard: to stick to the majority in desktop issues where yet another desktop cannot harm anybody and still stick to the minority in LCD issue where this sticking actually makes harm to the majority of LCD owners.
Sorry, but you apply double standards. In one thread you complain that the maintainer sticks to "default is best if it works even for old hardware" and in other threads you complain that niche users are not taken care of by xy. It's not about what I think, it's that you have to decide for yourself. Either it's about the majority or about caring about niches. So for example, if KDE4 effects do not work on old graphics cards or if KDE4 would not work on old hardware you must not complain since that old hardware is the same old hardware you ignore when stating something like: most people use LCDs, so let's ignore the rest. Anyway, I'm done here. You keep offering software that nobody checks anymore and assume that if there are no reports there are no issues. I'll remember your arguments regarding LCDs for other dicussions about old hardware and KDE4 and I will remember that you claim for yourself that nobody should tell you what to do in your free time (no doubt that is right) when you might feel like criticising other devs for not caring about your issues but only doing what they like.
