The KDevelop IDE closes this gap and makes it a joy to work within a complete, integrated development environment, combining the use of the GNU standard development tools such as the g++ compiler and the gdb debugger with the advantages of a GUI-based environment that automates all standard actions and allows the developer to concentrate on the work of writing software instead of managing command-line tools. It also offers direct and quick access to source files and docu- mentation. KDevelop primarily aims to provide the best means to rapidly set up and write KDE software; it also supports extended features such as GUI designing and translation in con- junction with other tools available especially for KDE development. The KDevelop IDE itself is published under the GNU Public License (GPL), like KDE, and is therefore publicly avail- able at no cost—including its source code—and it may be used both for free and for commer- cial development.

  • KDE Free Qt Foundation Strengthens Qt
    How the KDE Free Qt Foundation strengthens Qt by Olaf Schmidt-Wischhöfer (board member of the foundation)1, December 2019 Executive summary The development framework Qt is available both as Open Source and under paid license terms. Two decades ago, when Qt 2.0 was first released as Open Source, this was excep- tional. Today, most popular developing frameworks are Free/Open Source Software2. Without the dual licensing approach, Qt would not exist today as a popular high-quality framework. There is another aspect of Qt licensing which is still very exceptional today, and which is not as well-known as it ought to be. The Open Source availability of Qt is legally protected through the by-laws and contracts of a foundation. 1 I thank Eike Hein, board member of KDE e.V., for contributing. 2 I use the terms “Open Source” and “Free Software” interchangeably here. Both have a long history, and the exact differences between them do not matter for the purposes of this text. How the KDE Free Qt Foundation strengthens Qt 2 / 19 The KDE Free Qt Foundation was created in 1998 and guarantees the continued availabil- ity of Qt as Free/Open Source Software3. When it was set up, Qt was developed by Troll- tech, its original company. The foundation supported Qt through the transitions first to Nokia and then to Digia and to The Qt Company. In case The Qt Company would ever attempt to close down Open Source Qt, the founda- tion is entitled to publish Qt under the BSD license. This notable legal guarantee strengthens Qt.

The System Settings Handbook Chapter 1 Introduction The System Settings provides the user with a centralized and convenient way to configure all of the settings for your desktop. System Settings is made up of multiple modules. Each module is a separate application, however the System Settings organizes all of these applications into a single location. TIP Each System Settings module can be executed individually See section entitled Running individual System Settings modules for more information. System Settings groups all of the configuration modules into several categories: • Appearance • Workspace • Personalization • Network • Hardware • System Administration The modules that make up System Settings fall under one of the above categories, making it easier to locate the correct configuration module. 5 The System Settings Handbook Chapter 2 Using System Settings This section details the use of System Settings itself. For information on each individual module, please see System Settings Modules. 2.1 Starting System Settings The System Settings can be started in one of three ways: 1. By selecting Settings ! System Settings from the Application Menu. 2. By pressing Alt-F2 or Alt-Space.

Most users are familiar with Windows and OS X. Those operating systems only have one desktop interface. The user can tweak those desktops to a certain extent, but essentially you’re stuck with whatever Apple or Microsoft has decided to do. Menus are always going to be in certain places and key combinations are going to be tied to specific tasks and pro- grams.

  • Get Your Default KDE and GNOME Desktops in Line by David D
    Get Your Default KDE and GNOME Desktops in Line by David D. Scribner As mentioned in my last article, Get Your Default KDE and GNOME Menus in Line, the User Manuals for the KDE and GNOME GUI environments include instructions on modifying the user’s menus and desktop properties. Just as with the menus however, modifications to the desktop settings made by individual users are stored in the user’s home directory and have no affect on the “defaults” installed for new users. Being the system administrator, you may have custom desktop wallpaper, shortcut icons and panel (or Kicker, as KDE now calls it) icons that differ from those set up in the default configurations. If you wish to have the default desktops installed for new users tailored to include selected application icons in the panel or kicker (taskbar), or changes to the default desktop shortcuts, background, colors or style that GNOME and KDE normally set up for those new users, you will have to make a few modifications. This article is intended to cover the basic tasks of customizing such default installations. Since customizing the default desktops for your new users result in changes to the installed files, back up any of these files/directories before proceeding with any modifications! Desktop Configuration Skeletons Items pertaining to the desktop you want your new users to be greeted with are perhaps easiest to configure by placing the relevant KDE and GNOME desktop configuration files in the /etc/skel directory. You could modify the master files KDE and GNOME use to create new user setups, but they may be overwritten should you upgrade to a newer version of the environment.
