K-Things
Since yesterday I began using everything Qt/KDE. Why? I always liked KDE better than GNOME, and while talking in IRC I realized that using only Qt/KDE would improve my system performance. So I quit X-Chat for IRC and began to use Konversation (I liked it! It’s better! But I have to try KvIRC too). Began using Kopete for IM (multi-protocol, pretty and full featured!), amaroK (no comments, this is the better music application). My system performance was improved and I’m more happy with it… Now I’m using Konqueror as Web browser too, and Thunderbird as mail client. These two are the only fallbacks now: Firefox for me is better, and same thing for Thunderbird.
Well, I’m using gtk-qt-engine (yum install gtk-qt-engine) and now my GTK apps like Firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice are nice as the KDE apps 🙂
Here are some screenshots:
- Konqueror with Fedora’s Bubble Theme Metabar (Chitlesh GOORAH, your blog rocks!)
- Kopete in KDE 3.5
- Konversation in action!
- amaroK rocks your metal music!
- amaroK can do these fancy things with Konqueror…
I’m looking forward for KDE 4 and Fedora putting some more community effort on it (as the distro is mainly GNOME-centric).
Hello,
I’ve just dropped by to say hello and show you my interest for KDE 🙂
cya.
One more thing 🙂
Your phrase : amaroK rocks your metal music!
my phrase : Amarok rocks your Trance music !
hehehehe
Hey man…
Firefox is not a gtk app…
It uses native X calls :p
And AmaroK rocks 🙂
Here is a great feature.
When a song is playing, right click the picture of the CD (where the album picturewould be). Select Cover Manager, and then ‘Download missing covers’.
Now all your music will have photos 🙂
Well, firefox uses XUL for building its interface but XUL uses GTK as a backend for the Linux version. Firefox itself does not use GTK but the widgets are created with it, so it *is* a GTK app 🙂
BTW, KDE rocks! Thanks for your comment
