Hi,<br><br>Seems like missed communication here, I was told that once Plasma Active's "Files" application is complete, documents would be launched from there and so Calligra Active won't be included in the launcher. Thats the primary reason we didn't work on the home screen. Yes right now it does show the home screen (which has a open and about button) for a while when its loading the document that you selected from Files app, that will be fixed in the next release.<br>
<br>So, we can simply add calligraactive to Plasma Active's blacklist if we don't want the user to launch it :)<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>-- <br>Shantanu Tushar (UTC +0530)<br><a href="http://www.shantanutushar.com" target="_blank">http://www.shantanutushar.com</a><br>

This is the second time I read this. To be honest, I haven't checked the<br>
looks of it since my Linux has too old libraries to compile Calligra Active so<br>
I can't check how bad it is.<br>
<br>
But I'm sure that Shantanu and Sujith would love to have some help to design a<br>
better main screen. Especially since from what I hear and see in the latest<br>
blog the rest of it is pretty awesome. I'd hate to see Calligra Active pushed<br>
away from visibility because of a small thing like this.<br>
