[How To] Add a “Places” Menu in KDE
KDE. Some think of it as the desktop environment that doesn’t get the attention it deserves. What I like most about KDE is that there is Plasmoid (a form of widget for KDE) for almost everything – Facebook, clocks, weather, tweeting, start menus, Dash, calculator, system monitors etc… you name it. One plasmoid I find really [...]
KDE Font ‘Oxygen’ Available for Testing
An early alpha release of the new KDE font family is available for testing.
‘Oxygen’, designed by prolific font-maker Vernon Adams, aims to provide a ‘clear, legible, sans serif, [that's] rendered with [The Freetype Font Engine] on Linux-based devices.’
The alpha release contains three weights – regular, bold and monospace. But only support for ‘basic characters’ is currently provided.

Making Dolphin Even Better: Add ‘Service Menus’
Among the things that I love most in KDE is it’s file manager – Dolphin.

Unity is the most used Desktop Environment amongst Ubuntu 11.10 users according to our most recent poll.
Just shy of 16,000 votes were cast (one vote per person) in the poll which asked readers “Which Desktop Environment Are You Using in Ubuntu 11.10?”
Which Desktop Environment Do You Use in Ubuntu 11.10? [Poll]
Roll up, roll up: it’s poll time! This week’s poll question comes by courtesy of reader ‘Andy’, who’s interested to know how many Ubuntu 11.10 users are using Unity and how many are using GNOME Shell. Now, in the interest of fairness I’ll throw LXDE, XFCE, KDE and Pantheon into the options ring too. But do note that this [...]
‘Takeoff’ Adds OS X Lion-Style App Launcher to KDE
OS X Lion Launchpad inspired Plasmoid ‘Takeoff’ brings a full screen menu launcher to Kubuntu users.
Facebook Bans KDE Apps, Deletes Pics Uploaded Using Them [Update]
Update: Facebook has since restored access for the KDE applications and plugins, as well as re-adding the missing photos. Apparently the removal was a mistake caused by one of Facebook’s automated systems.
Facebook has banned KDE applications from uploading pictures to user profiles, deleting pictures that have already been uploaded using KDE apps in the process.
