Good. Now all we need is those beautiful Oxygen icons. :)

Nice! Can't wait to see images of this.

Anyone try it out yet? I haven't tried it yet myself.

Anyone try it out yet? I haven't tried it yet myself.

The 'To Do' list is still quite long, so I'll have a look once it's near complete...

If I can get Linux back on my spare desktop I'll give it a go. Been having issues with the AM2 for some reason. *kicks computer*

Before anyone goes ahead and compiles/runs this, please be aware that it will look exactly like KDE 3.5 - except for being broken in lots of places.

The good news for developers is that this is a reasonably solid code base for diving into KDE / Qt 4 hacking. By solid I mean that it actually compiles reliably and most programs at least start without crashing ;)

[Rob Williams]

Oh ok... no wonder there haven't been screenshots about, heh.

There is one interesting change with KDE 4... As pointed out in Brandon Holtsclaw's blog (http://www.imbrandon.com/2006/08/28/kde4-on-osx-no-x11/) (from Ubuntu), it is now possible to compile KDE under Mac OS X without X11.

Second snapshot for KDE 4 is now out. Did anyone give it a whirl? Packages are available for Ubuntu and SuSE right now.
