KDE is really a Kool Desktop Environment

Published by Ivan Čukić in the KDE development section, on 10 November 2008

I just wanted to thank every developer person who ever helped KDE.

Why just now? Well, first I saw the new list view in KMail which is rather awesome, and makes KMail even better than the former best* mail application - KMail without the new list view.

Beside that, I saw one of the tiny changes in Plasma related to the taskbar/icon tooltips. You’ll know what I’m talking about by moving your mouse from one icon to another.

Every now and then, KDE gets some, at first glance, totally insignificant feature (like this tooltip effect), but to be honest these little things really make a big difference. And such things really make me say “Wow, how neat!”.

So, everybody, rock on!

Personal opinion, not a flamebait :)

For KMail: http://plasma.kde.org/media/kmail_prettyness.png (although it shows almost nothing - the list is now very customizable)
As for the small tooltip feature, it: a) can not be shown in a screenshot b) the small features like this never end up in a screenshot. As I said, it is the /small things/... :)

i'm forced to use gtkwave for me labs, and there is one point that frustrates me: do add an item form list you have to select it and press 'Add' button (in KDE world you could just double click it).
