= Agenda =
* Introduce new KDE-SIG-Members * Nodoka-Theme for KDE (Thread on fedora-art-list) * Changing the wallpaper every hour - infinity-24 (complete) * Planned early updates for F8 * The weekly talk about KDE4 (status of kdebase-workspace and so on)
= Summary =
o Nodoka-Theme for KDE: - LaithJuwaidah has adapted Nodoka-Metacity-Theme to dekorator - We will probably need to port dekorator to KDE4 (because it's maintainer seems to stop working on it) - Another option would be to use native port for kwin4 - A third option would be to use the code of polyester (it's looking is fairly close the same and is available for KDE3 and KDE4) - It's still undecided in which package it should be put - The theme would only be available as an optional update and not set as default in Fedora 8
o Changing the wallpaper every hour: - LaithJuwaidah has written a perl script to change the wallpaper every hour (like Gnome does now with Infinity wallpaper) - using this script with kdewebdesktop would be prefered over an usage in cron
o supposed early updates for F8: - KDE 3.95.0 development platform - There are also some minor updates in kde-settings and fedorainfinity-kdm-theme - kdegames4 as an replacement for kdegames(3) would only be an option if sound is working
o The weekly talk about KDE4: - kdelibs4 for KDE 3.95.0 is already done, kdepimlibs will follow - kdebase-runtime will be included into existing kdebase4 - We will need reviews for the splitting of KDE4's kdebase package

Just to clarify: these are not 3 options for the same thing: the first two are the options for the KWin theme, i.e. the window decorations. The third one is an option (IMHO the most promising one) for the widget style. The window decorations are the borders of the window, in particular the title bar and the buttons on it. They are a theme for the window manager, i.e. KWin (and Beryl/Compiz-fusion which can display KWin themes). In the GNOME world, this is nodoka-metacity-theme. The widget style defines how things like menus, buttons, scrollbars, text boxes and the like look. This is a team for the widget toolkit, i.e. Qt. (And as both Qt 3 and 4 will be in use for the near future, we'll need versions for both, whereas for the KWin theme, only version 4 will be relevant once we get kdebase-workspace 4 in.) In the GNOME world, this is gtk-nodoka-engine.
