Yesterday<\/a> I wrote about switching my work<\/a> laptop<\/a> to KDE<\/a>. After playing around a bit with the Kontrol Center, I’ve got it mostly looking and feeling like how I want. I’ll blog about that in the next article. For this article, I want to just reminisce about Evolution and Gnome and how I miss them. A picture is worth at least a couple of words, so have a look:<\/p>\n

\"Integration<\/p>\n

Now, my home laptop is for my G<\/b>entoo work, so it is still gnome<\/a>-based. However, I’ve started the memo and tasks functionality here, so it seems like it’s only a small matter of time before things flake out here. Apparently, there’s an extension to t-bird somewhere that adds calendaring, so that may be a future option. However, that’s a completely non-integrated solution so it’s at the bottom of my list. <\/p>\n

Some people may ask me why I don’t just use Google’s Calendar (I’ve definitely gotten suggestions to do so in the past). Thanks, but I barely use GMail for any of my personal email. I’m not about to give Google (a search engine, for eff’s sake) complete access to all my life’s goings-on. Besides, I have a desktop for a reason — I want to use the damned thing. Not everything happens in my web browser. Not everything should, either, I don’t think. If, someday, that becomes a short-sighted statement and the entirety of my computer experience is web-based, I’ll take that statement back (and I expect full integration). For now, it stands.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, I’ll go into some annoyances about KDE in general: font sizes in GTK apps (like firefox), icon sizes on the desK<\/b>top and the lack of clickability on URLs in Kterminal or whatever that thing is called.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, if anyone out there has a solution for me to make KDE’s panel klock applet integrate better with kontact, that’d be kool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
