| == KDE SC 4.5 ==
| | See the [http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/ Cinnamon official website] for more information on Cinnamon, and go to [http://spins.fedoraproject.org http://spins.fedoraproject.org] to download the Spin. |
| Fedora 14 includes the updated KDE SC ("Software Compilation") version 4.5. The KDE developers worked on usability and stability for version 4.5. The result is a faster, easier, and more stable desktop experience. Many bugs are fixed and subtle but important improvements made to hidden components, so KDE now works the way you want.
| |
|
| |
|
| Some of the enhancements to background components include:
| | == Sugar == |
| * <code>Phonon</code>, the sound server for KDE applications, can now directly use the <code>PulseAudio</code> sound server.
| |
| * An enhanced memory-cache feature that helps to speed up different applications using the same resources (like icons).
| |
| * The <code>WebKit</code> web page rendering engine, as used in other popular web browsers like '''Safari''' and '''Chrome''', is now available in '''Konqueror''' and other KDE applications. '''Konqueror''' also features improvements that enable it to load web pages faster.
| |
| | |
| Some of the enhancements to the "Plasma" desktop and netbook workspaces include:
| |
| * An improved notification area and system tray. Application icons are now monochromatic, making them easier to see. Visual progress bars have been added to the widgets for long-running operations like file transfers and downloads.
| |
| * The <code>KWin</code> window manager features many improvements:
| |
| ** You can add or remove virtual desktops in the "Desktop Grid" view.
| |
| ** You can lay out your windows without overlap by using the window-tiling feature.
| |
| ** You can move windows by dragging any empty area in the window, rather than just the title bar.
| |
| * You can save and restore "activities," which are a set of plasma widgets. Use this feature to gather all of your social networking widgets in one activity, and all of your hardware monitor widgets in one activity, for example.
| |
| | |
| Some of the enhancements to other applications in the Software Compilation include:
| |
| * A new game, '''Kajongg'', is a four-player version of mahjongg. This is the first KDE game to take advantage of the KDE programming language extensions for Python, which allow programmers to write software more easily and with fewer bugs.
| |
| * The '''Marble''' desktop globe application has support for planning trips, based on OpenStreetmap and OpenRouteService. You can also load this information before you start on a trip, meaning that you can access map and route information even when you cannot access the internet.
| |
| * The '''Gwenview''' document viewer now runs smoothly even while using processor-intensive visual effects. It is also more configurable and stable in all conditions. You can even share your pictures online more easily with the integrated Flickr upload feature.
| |
| * The '''Dolphin''' file manager, and other KDE components, offer better integration with semantic meta-data provided by the <code>Nepomuk Semantic Desktop</code>.

MeeGo Netbook UX is built on the GNOME Mobile platform, extending and enriching it with new technologies like Clutter, GUPnP and libsocialweb. The MeeGo Netbook UX is the user environment that sits of top of Fedora and associated MeeGo core services. The netbook user interface and user interaction model for the target devices then is on top of that. The Fedora 14 implementation specifically targets the Netbook UX.
