Hi all. Has anyone else played around with some of the new stuff in the latest KDE4 update? I haven't found it all yet, but the new desktop background options are interesting (including one that uses Kmarble and looks like the old xearth/xplanet on steroids...).
I haven't been able to get the weather background to work on my system - perhaps that isn't quite there yet. I'm undecided on the new desktop pager for virtual desktops as yet...
Unfortunately with my old NVidia GeForce FX 5500 performance with compositing seems to have gone backwards but that may be due to debug
code
etc. Its easy to switch off when I need to (e.g. for watching videos).
It may not be everyone's cup of tea but the devs are making progress and it is starting to look pretty good from where I sit.
Note - this is not an invitation to start another KDE4 vs KDE3 flame war; some good honest discussion/tips re the new features (by those actually using them) would be welcome though...
Cheers,
I assume that you are referring to KDE 4.3 Beta, that is in the Factory repo right? If so then this is nice to hear about, and will be interesting to see.
Yes, that is correct. It already seems to be very stable and I have it running on both 10.3 (on my laptop) and 11.0 (desktop) - so far seems very stable and usable on both. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ===================================================
