It feels good to inspire others
A KDE-hacker named Siraj Razick is the first to my knowledge, who did something similar like cairo-clock, but based it on Qt 4. I came across his blog by pure accident here. While I don’t follow the development of KDE and Qt very closely it’s always very exciting to see what other projects are working on or where they are heading. BTW, if anybody knows some sites where one can get a sneak-peak (without “svn co” a whole source-repository and compiling it just to “take a look”) of what KDE 4 is going to provide and look like, I’m eager to hear from them.

Hi. Macslow.
Yes..KDE4 is going to be awesome, simply because it’s a (almost) re-write. Qt4 it self has many nice features to Load the desktop with lots of eye-candy. most of the desktop components you see, ex: like the kicker and the desktop will be handled by plasma (http://plasma.kde.org), many improvements are to come in areas like Rich text editing too. And then we have Faster I/O and Faster load time.. Qt4 has many /IO advancements (local and remote). So what KDE4 is promising is a very Professional Desktop with a eye-candy meter sky high. Your work seems to be very impressive, and Indeed , very inspiring
bye.
