Baghira is a native style for QT/KDE.

The name refers to the Panther of Kiplings famous Jungle Book (German spelling)

You will probably rather know the Disney version...

Basically its a perky imitation of Apples OSX look.

Installation:

tar -xjf baghira.tar.bz2
cd baghira/baghira
./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` --disable-debug [--enable-final]
(!!!BEGINNERS: the direction of the accents is _important_ (top-left to bottom-right), the rectangular brackets mean [this is optional] - dont type them!!!)
make
and finally as root:
make install

foXdesktop is an attempt to create a new UNIX-based desktop environment using FOX, a multi-platform widget set written in C++.
Main features:
- User friendliness for beginners, power users and programmers
- Modularity: The opposite to "do everything in one place", but not necessarily sacrificing the idea of embeddable objects :-)
- Flexibility: All foXdesktop application are supposed to work together as a family
- Compatibility and standards conformity
As a result every foXdesktop application is supposed to both integrate seamlessly into an existing foXdesktop environment and still be useful standing alone and/or within another environment (GNOME, KDE, Enlightenment...).
Although FOX is a multi-platform library, foXdesktop is probably UNIX-specific. But, it is possible to not use the Windows Explorer interface on win32 platforms, thus it may be possible to create a new win32 desktop...
This project was origonally started by Josua Groeger, but he has lost interest in maintining it - as such I am the new maintainer (Mathew Robertson).

Engauge Digitizer project is digitizing software that converts an image showing a graph or map into numbers. The image file can come from a scanner, digital camera, or screenshot. The numbers can be read on the screen, and written or copied to a spreadsheet.

Highlights for beginners include an intuitive interface and extensive context-sensitive documentation. Highlights for experts include compensation for image distortion, cartesian and polar coordinates, linear and logarithmic coordinates, automatic scanning, graphical previews, and browser help.

RPM Wizard is an installation program for RPM packages. Using a wizard interface, it makes installing easy even for beginners. With features such as automatic dependency handling, it aims to become the most easy-to-use RPM installation program.
RPM Wizard is written in Python and uses the PyQt bindings for the Qt GUI toolkit. It is Open Source and available under the GNU General Public License.
Main features:
Ease of use
- RPM Wizard is designed to be as easy to use as possible. The program does not require any previous knowledge of how RPM works. When installed properly, the user can just click on an RPM file in the file manager and RPM Wizard starts automatically. The installation is supposed to go as smoothly as any Windows installation. If you think that something could be made more easy-to-use just drop me an email. No one knows better than the user.
Automatic dependency handling
- This is the new feature in RPM Wizard 0.6. A common problem when installing RPM packages is that the software is missing some dependencies, i.e some other software that is needed to get the program working. With most other RPM installers the user himself has to look for other RPM packages that satisfy the dependencies and install them first. RPM Wizard tries to do this automatically by searching a premade database of the content of the distribution CDs. If you are installing from a directory on your hard drive, it can also make use of the packages in that directory to satisfy the missing dependencies.
Install from a list of distribution packages NEW!
- If you have the RPM Wizard database module installed you can install packages by choosing the package name from a list. The list only includes packages that are newer than those installed. No longer will you have to search through all your distribution CD:s to find the package you are looking for.
Details dialog
- This dialog gives a lot of details for those interested without getting in the way for users that just want to get the installation through quickly. You can view the files of the package, the size, lists of provides and depends and more.
Shortcut on the desktop
- At the end of the wizard the user is given the option to put a shortcut on all users desktops (both KDE and Gnome).
Launch program
- This option starts the installed program as soon as the user clicks Finish.

phpCodeGenie (PCG) is a code generator for database driven applications. PCG can generate entire working basic database driven applications for you. PCG can generate code from different databases.

The database servers it can talk to via ADODB are :- MySQL, PostgreSQL, Interbase, Firebird, Informix, Oracle, MS SQL, Foxpro, Access, Sybase, FrontBase, DB2, SAP DB, SQLite and Netezza. While the core version generates mostly PHP Code, phpCodeGenie can be modified to generate code in any programming language - Perl, Java, C#, ASP etc..

phpCodeGenie attempts to generate these CRUD code so that programmers have a base they can work on. The core database access code and scripts are usually the same for most applications.

Rather than spending a lot of time doing these common code, we can spend our time on the business logic of our applications and let PCG do the boring code for you. phpCodeGenie can generate simple code for beginners where everything is done in the same PHP script or structure Object Oriented PHP Code that follows the PCG framework.

phpCodeGenie requires you to design your tables and then the genie can generate code for reading and writing to the database, the html forms to enter or edit data in the database, scripts to list data, scripts to delete data, search forms, search scripts among others.

phpCodeGenie can interact and generate code from many database servers - MySQL, PostgreSQL, Interbase, Firebird, Informix, Oracle, MS SQL, Foxpro, Access, Sybase, FrontBase, DB2, SAP DB, SQLite, Netezza, LDAP, and generic ODBC, ODBTP, through the ADODB Database Abstraction Library.

phpCodeGenie uses a plugin mechanism for the different code that it generates. While most the core plugins are plugins for PHP Code Generation, one can write plugins for any language, be it Perl, Java, C#, Visual Basic, ASP etc.. Basically, code generation is String manipulation. So it is very easy to make a new PCG plugin. Feel free to write your own PCG plugins and it would be nice if you could share it back with the PCG community.
