KDE4: Lancelot 1.7

[MrDemilord]

Can you disable the translucency

[rinkavideos64]

Windows 7?

[dawndaemon]

@rinkavideos64

nope, far from it. It is Linux with KDE SC. See kde.org

[rinkavideos64]

@dawndaemon I know, I just asked because it reflects the W7 principle.

[dawndaemon]

@rinkavideos64 In what sense? (p.s. since KDE4 is a year and a half older than W7, you can say that W7 reflects something here :) )

[rinkavideos64]

@dawndaemon Lancelot, not KDE4 (you demoed Lancelot here!)

[dawndaemon]

@rinkavideos64 well, 80% of lancelot in KDE 4.o era is the same as today (no need for exclamation marks)

btw, I was always curious which 'similarities' people see between L and Windows menu which don't exist in other Linux menus...

[dawndaemon]

@rinkavideos64 p.s. I can only speak of Win menus from screenshots i saw, so I might be missing something...

[mateustbx]

How can I install lancelot in kde???

[dawndaemon]

@mateustbx It should be available via your package manager. Either as a separate package (plasma-widget-lancelot on Debian) or as a part of the kdeplasma-addons package (or similar).

[mateustbx]

@dawndaemon Thanks man! I managed to install lancelot here now!

Sorry for my bad english. :D

[dawndaemon]

@mateustbx no problem dude! :)

[mateustbx]

@dawndaemon :D

[mrRababi]

Thanks for the screen cast. I'm still not sure what the difference is between Lancelot and the KDE menu system?

Can you do a screencast that outlines why use Lancelot?

[Reloaded211]

The only complain I have about Lancelot is that it's transparency should be no less than 95%. Current transparency makes it a bit messy.

[dawndaemon]

As I've already mentioned, the transparency is due to the plasma theme used.

In the latest version of KDE (4.3), Lancelot uses the same background as other Plasma dialogues.

Cheerio,

Ivan

[hoppimike]

This looks cool! I love KDE! :)

[TheAggressiveMachine]

Lancelot rules and so does that wallpaper. I downloaded a copy for my desktop :)

[daHihu8]

Great wallpaper also, where can I get it?

[dawndaemon]

Thanks

@Lazaryn

To be honest, although usually I disable them, sometimes they contain very cool info.

[DreadKnight666]

Awesome! Best launcher for KDE4.

[Lazaryn]

Does anyone ever actually read those "tip of the day" things? I skip them about as fast as I skip Windows installer wizards. ^_^;

[bobbaay]

@Lazaryn lol

[goblend]

Thanks for your hard work, looks awesome :D
