KDE 3.4
After compiling for the better part of yesterday, I am now running the latest release of KDE… KDE 3.4.
This release offers a cleaner overall look, including a form of icon zooming (no, not like OSX) in the panel. We’re also introduced to Akregator, a very slick RSS aggregator which is now included within the KDE network package. This is also the first release of KDE to support translucency natively which is rather cool, though I think that if you use multiple desktops to separate your apps the novelty will wear off rather quickly.
On an unrelated note, the KDE logo on the right side of this entry was originally from a larger image, seen on the 3.4 announcement page. However, thanks to Dean who talked me through the process, I was able to use GIMP to properly crop the image. I’m especially proud of the rounded corners, though really, it was all Dean; I just worked the [six button] mouse and keyboard.
