I wanted to get the new KNotes layout out before the big freeze coming up, I still need to allot time and effort to get the code cleaned up and add much needed improvements.

This following screen shot shows the new layout in all it’s glory.

* What you may not notice is that the Size Grip is no longer set as the Editor’s Corner Widget,
I had some problems getting that to work well on Qt 4.

* KNote now uses actual Qt Layouts to split the components inside each note.

* The note close button is larger and responds to hover and mouse down events differently.

I finally got a chance to work on KDE this week, it seems that there is some porting needed for KNotes, will work on it tonight.

More on this as I go along…. Stay Tuned!

After a few weeks checking the KDE4 trunk, it seems to be one of the most exciting releases of KDE in some time, there is a long way to go and with the feature freeze coming up in a few days, I will have to put some extra work in this week.

To work on this week:

• Kopete
• Kate
• KDEPIM

Cheers

Thanks to everybody that sent me emails on the last release,
I made some fixes to help out with the problems pointed out.

Decided to publish my pre-alpha bashcfg library so here it is with a test program.
I use this to update multiple machines automatically.

What does the library do?

The libbashcfg.a library creates or parses a bash script loaded via a file or general stream
and creates an interface to manipulate the variables.

What does the application do?

This app allows you to manipulate bash variables by using actions.
Create, Append, Remove, Clear, Erase; these actions work differently depending
on the type of bash variable.

Example:

bashcfg  /etc/make.conf +USE=' kde' -USE=gnome

This example adds ‘kde‘ and removes ‘gnome‘ from the USE variable in the make.conf on Gentoo systems

bashcfg  /etc/conf.d/net aconfig_eth0='()' +config_eth0='"dhcp"'

This example creates an array net config variable and adds ‘dhcp’ also usefull on Gentoo systems.
