Quickies: KolourPaint, KWin Deco Howto, Desktop Theming, Boson, Opie
====================================================================

   KolourPaint [http://kolourpaint.sourceforge.net/]  is progressing
nicely as the latest version brings new icons
[http://kolourpaint.sourceforge.net/screenshot0_big.png] by Kristof
Borrey,  a new user manual and numerous bug fixes and improvements. 
While browsing at KDE-Look [http://www.kde-look.org/]  I noticed this
howto [http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=6332] for 
making native KWin decorations. Now there are no more excuses for not
writing that decoration you  always wished someone else would do! 
Always wanted a cool KDE (Crystal) look 'n feel for your GTK-apps?  The
crystalgnome.org [http://www.crystalgnome.org/] site released the  Kids
icon set [http://www.crystalgnome.org/kidsicons.htm] for GNOME  (KDE
version [http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=9144]) and is 
also offering Crystal themes [http://www.crystalgnome.org/index2.htm]. A
project named Mozillux [http://www.polinux.upv.es/mozilla/] has  a
similar goal, to integrate Mozilla [http://www.mozilla.org/] and 
Firefox [http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/] better in the KDE
desktop.  Looking for a cool real-time strategy game for KDE? Wait no
more,  just [http://boson.eu.org/screenshots.php?show=44]  check
[http://boson.eu.org/screenshots.php?show=43]  out 
[http://boson.eu.org/screenshots.php?show=35] Boson
[http://boson.eu.org/].   The Boson hackers recently released
[http://boson.eu.org/announces/boson-0.10.php]  the latest version of
this game which has a feeling of Command&Conquer(tm) or StarCraft(tm).
The Opie Team just announced
[http://opie.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/News]  the first public
release of the Opie 1.1.x branch - version 1.1.3.   The Open Palmtop
Integrated Environment [http://opie.handhelds.org/] (Opie)  is a 'fork'
of Qtopia environment
