Hello KDE3 users,
I started the development for new NetworkManager frontend, but i'm not sure how to make it to be powerful and user-friendly at same time.
Basically, it will have 3 components:
1) a secret agent running as KDE service 2) a connection manager, integrated in KControl 3) a kicker applet
Any ideas will be apreciated (screenshots or .ui files created with Qt3 designer are preffered).
Thanks.
PS I attached a screenshot with current done work (the list of connections for ethernet and wireless).
PPS Do not confuse "connection" with "access point" or "ethernet device". A physical device can have more than one connection (for example "eth0 work" and "eth0 home").
I have never used nm. A couple of years ago i found out about wicd and it simply works. The only negative items on it are that sometimes permissions need to be manually set at the first install, also the passwords can be seen when the mouse pointer is over the pwd box. Perhaps a review of the gui and features can be beneficial. as an example, really nice "must have" is the automatic encryption detection. good luck, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
