Hi,
as the release of KDE SC 4.10.1 is getting quite near we need some assistance
from you for putting together a great announcement.
What we need is:
* A list of the most significant changes that are included, also mention if
there is any risk of bumps in the upgrade.
* Screenshots showing the awsomeness of KDE
/Regards
Torgny Nyblom
Guidelines for release screenshots (mostly from Nuno Pinheiro):
- Use default wallpaper
- Use only two or three colors for anything that's not a photo
- Resolution 1280x720
- Use the same font everywhere. Oxygen or Liberation Sans is preferred;
other sans fonts are workable.
- Use the default wallpaper
- Hinting style set to full. Even if you like big fonts, the result is
much sharper if your hinting is set to full.
- Use a smaller font size like 8 or 9. Small fonts have a thinner
trace that makes the font thickness be exactly 1 pixel. If your font
thickness is not 1, then you are in trouble. Low hinting style and
large fonts make traces of about 1.3 - 1.5 thickness that result in
blurry looking fonts. They are not only bad looking, they tend to
produce headaches as your eyes try to constantly focus the font.
- Don't use bold. Bold fonts are not as readable as normal fonts
because the width of the trace is usually larger than 1 and smaller
than 2 producing blurry results.
- Make your fonts more greyish than blackish; gives much better
sharpness results.
