Description:
 News
With the Dinosaur release Mark I of sunbeam has
more-or-less reached the end of the development
phas in its life cycle.
I am currently in the process of drawing up a
feature-list of MARK II which, due to other things
that have come up, should take quite some time.
This,at the least should feature lots of
eye-candy, better speeds and a smaller (memory)
footprint.
Other equally important features i have planned to
implement are a better configuration interface,
better, more modular design, easy extensibility
and integration with other
software/libraries(including kat and/or beagle
support).

Sunbeam and moonshine are a KDE kicker panel
applet and application pair that are intended to
be used (together or in isolation) as an
alternative to the current kicker panel. Apart
from this, the functionality of the software has
been somewhat extended to currently enable
features like file and application search and
browsing facilities, favourites, window list and
desktop access. All this with a nifty browser-type
ability to go back and forth.

[Note]
Anyone for making the app region-neutral?
Anyone interested in making the Background images
for both apps?
And yes for the .deb and .rpm... anyone game?
And thanks for the idea Thom.

[to compile]
configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`

make install
[or]
