> For some time I have been working on Kickoff (the alternate panel under
> Kicker). I have resolved a few problems and have created a patch to fix up

> First of all, KNewButton is a terrible and bloated implementation of the
> KButton class, with animations that didn't work or do anything really. it
> does however have things that are required for the kickoff menu.

> So I stripped all the crap out of KNewButton and got it to work with the
> same settings that the regular kbutton does. This also fixes a bug with
> transparency that wasn't reported.

> Also I fixed the problem with the "computer" tab that was causing a

> Once the tree unfreezes I plan on working on kickoff further.
