It's time for our TDE spring fundraiser!
The TDE project relies on your financial support to continue development of this reliable and easy-to-use desktop environment. As my way of saying thank you I have developed a new theme engine for Qt4 that allows you to use your TDE styles and file dialogs in new Qt4 applications, as well as interface methods required to easily convert common Qt4 objects to TQt3 objects and vice versa.
If we can raise the $2,000 required to keep the TDE project running for the rest of the year by April 30, 2012, I will release the source code for this new theme engine under the GPL and also integrate it into the next TDE release. Once this engine and the conversion methods are part of TDE, the foundation will have been laid for work to begin on a Webkit-based replacement for the aging KHTML engine.
Donations can be securely made to the project at this address: http://trinitydesktop.org/donate.php I will also update that page from time to time with progress made towards the $2,000 goal.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Library requirements: TQt3, Qt4, and TDE core Lines of C++ source code: 4207 (theme engine and Qt4 object translator) License: GPL Functional quality: ALPHA
Screenshots of the theme engine in action are attached, showing common TDE styles in use with Qt4 applications. If you want to see this engine released and think the TDE project is worth a few dollars, please donate to help keep the TDE project going!

------------------------------------ I feel bad at the sight of this announcement. From what I've seen of functional with KDE4, it's not a simple story of eye's candies, fonts sizes and window decorations. KMail, Kate and other applications do not work the same way. And during my tests, I have not seen gateway to move from one version of sofware / desktop to another.
I felt very bad when I read the dictates of a so-called "windows manager expert" on the trinity-devel-help list. I see sadly that his tone had effects.
I already felt abandoned by KDE / OSS, and that's why I like the Trinity project so much, I am just afraid of being abandoned again... and hope that I'm wrong.
My words may shock, but I write them because I know today, that I was not alone in having felt what I felt for KDE4. Patrick

Hi Patrick,
What is your concern? This theme engine is designed to allow Qt4 applications to integrate into TDE in a better way than before, and personally I wouldn't hesitate to file interface-related bug reports on any Qt4-based project that does not integrate well into TDE when this engine is in use.
If you can give a specific range of concerns (i.e "TDE is going the wrong direction due to projects X and Y") then I will try to address those concerns in a reply. :-)
