Kannasaver 1.2 for KDE 4 Released
February 10, 2011
Finally, after only two years of procrastination, I am happy to announce the release of the first KDE 4 version of Kannasaver.
Kannasaver is a screen saver that shows Japanese syllabic characters (Hiragana and Katakana) with their RÅmaji transcript.
Notable changes in this version are:
- runs with KDE 4 :D
- support for colours
- ported to KConfigXT
And here you can see how the settings dialog looks like:
You can download Kannasaver from its project page at kde-apps.org and install it the usual CMake way. Or you can wait for your Distro to ship it. It is also appreciated if you tell your Distro to ship it. :)
Have fun. :)
Very nice screensaver, definitely my favorite. Thank you.
Thanks, I feared that noone uses screen savers anymore. :)
Well I admit I haven’t used any screensaver for quite a long time ! But I saw from the comments of one of your previous posts that you plan to include Kanji support. At this time I will clearly install your screensaver !
But nevertheless, very good work until now ! Keep up !
Really nice, thanks for your suggestions and your contribution :)
But.. I’ve read this post, here on planetkde: http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2011/04/rethinking-screensavers/
What do you think about it?
Isn’t a screensaver a waste of power?
Yep, it is. :D
Well … these are busy times. This screen saver is quite a few years old and I only wanted it to be available for KDE 4.
Screen savers in general are a waste of power, because they usually run when noone is looking, yes. I agree with Martin here.
Thus, for the future, it might be possible that I rewrite the functionality from Kannasaver as a Plasmoid. No actual plans though as yet. :)
