Re: [kde-promo] start of elevator pitch for plasma on devices

2010-11-28 Thread Diego Moya
In the elevator pitch I miss some mention to the existing support behind the Plasma platform. Something along the lines of "In addition to the community work, Plasma development is supported by $BIG_COMPANY_NAME", where $BIG_COMPANY_NAME currently could use the names of Nokia, Intel, AMD... for Me

ely more information: just icons when the notification is small, more text as the panel grows. Maybe you could use this kind of growing animation for bubbles, and try it on some test users? I for one would prefer this style to the popups in the N800/N900. I hate having one of those inter

I personally set up Win+Space as the shorcut for the application launcher in all the windowing environments I use.
