Konqi, KDE's pet dragon, is out and about, collecting footage, images and recordings for his new documentary. He is carrying a camera and pointing a microphone at you, because he wants to know your opinion. At the same time he's taking notes. Konqi is multi-talented like that.

No. Only your name or nick will be shown in a "Hall of Fame" (if we ever get round to making one).

You can also tick the Anonymous checkbox and *nothing* goes public anywhere.

@begasus @kde @kde Amazing, it looks like a full-on native Haiku app!

@highvoltage @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Thanks! This is all possible by the work done by one of our team members at haikuports creating the haiku-plugin for Qt.

@begasus @highvoltage @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Does that mean all KDE apps receive Haiku support?!

@cleantext @highvoltage @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social In principle yes, a few applications out there use some KIconTheme specific statement, for some I leave those as is (and they will use breeze icons), when pushing to haikuports this is disabled making sure (or mostly) that the user experience is as Haiku as possible.

In the screenshot calligraplan wip for Qt6

@cleantext not sure if you see my reply on previous screenshot, but yeah, mostly they follow Haiku's look and feel.

@begasus @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social

That looks amazing. A very complex application running on Haiku.

@begasus I did but needed confirmation. That's a great leap for the project. K apps are pretty great!

@begasus @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social damn, looks like yours is more integrated with the OS too, the others look like they're all using Fusion instead of the native theme (Breeze/Aqua/idk on Windows, haven't seen a screenshot of that one either tbh) 😅
