Forum thread started by skarmiglione on Wed, 2010-06-23 06:53

My question is about how mantain windows over all, because i ussually put vlc or other windows like justin tv, etc, to work and do other things while i see that window...this is very useful in other OS´s because it help with multitask, at least for me.

Potential for confusion in the boot splash?

Forum thread started by george on Mon, 2010-06-21 06:38

Hi all,

I'm wondering if the microchip icon in the boot splash might cause confusion?

See: http://dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/data/artwork/boot_splash/spl...

There isn't a lot of difference between its dull and its bright state. If Haiku stalled while booting would a less tech-savy (or vision-impaired) user be able to describe where it stalled?

Remove the Blue feather

Forum thread started by nonne on Sun, 2010-06-06 17:51

I really dislike the blue "feather" it's just confusing if you don't already know what it is. It would be much better if it just said "Deskbar", more logical and much easier for newbies who newer used Haiku/BeOS before.

Qt applications that would be good to have on Haiku

Forum thread started by Polari on Thu, 2010-06-03 23:34

Figured it could be nice to keep a list of Qt/KDE apps that can help fill the gaps in Haiku's software line up for the time being.

Scribus, desktop publishing application.

Hydrogen, drum machine.

Rosegarden, sequencer/score editor.

Qtractor, digital audio workstation.

FreeCAD, CAD tool.

LyX, LaTEX editor.

...are all ones that stand out off the top of my head. Any others?

personal computer.

If you do not want to lose the course of history as we need to think in Haiku
alternative to tablets.
