Hey, just wanna start off by saying I love Trinity Desktop, easy to use and fast on a Pentium 4 with little than a gigabyte of RAM, that's what good coding runs like :D
I was reading https://www.trinitydesktop.org/development.php and noticed one of the listed things that Trinity needed assistance in was UI design review. What exactly needs to be reviewed in the terms of UI design? I know people like to say Trinity looks outdated, and although that is kind of true, the Breeze theme from Q4OS modernizes it quite a bit and that could be used as a basis for an optional "modernized" theme. (maybe during setup give the user the choice between the new modern theme and the classic themes)
I own a 16:10 ThinkPad, folding tablet laptop, modern curved 1080p monitor and a 5:4 monitor so it's pretty safe to say I could test all sorts of UI designs and layouts functionality-wise, but design wise I'll go ahead and say I'm a bit younger and I still think the KDE 2.x theme looks great, but I'll be open to test and use any sort of theme if it helps.
I don't code but I am pretty fluent in just generally knowing what good UI/UX looks and functions like (although I am a bit biased towards the old Windows UI) and can test many different things on new and old hardware, so if help isn't needed there but somewhere else please let me know and I'd be glad to help!

Hello all,
Noticed my server was down today due to HDD failure, contacted the DC
and got that fixed so in the process of restoring services.
Mirror should be up today once the data is restored.
Crazy day today!
Thanks,
Michael Manley
Building 14.0.x, I get the error:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:39 (include):
include could not find requested file:
TDEMacros
This is because of the removal of CMAKE_MODULE_PATH from CMakeLists.txt.
How does cmake now find the TDE cmake modules?
Hi!
some packages of TDE I could install successfully and now the next one
would be tdelibs. But there is no configure-file. Am I supposed to use
autoconf to create one and which configure.* file should I use for autoconf?
I know that you're switching to CMake but I would like to do it with
make this time.
Kind regards,
Christoph
It didn't use to, right? What changed? Kdelibs3 doesn't require it.

How can this be fixed, so getting current can proceed?
