GTKYahoo is a GPLd GTK+ based yahoo pager client for unix. I wrote this for a couple of reasons - hating windows, wanting to learn GTK+, and because the Java client is highly irritating and seems extremely buggy. (I.e. try resizing a chat window)
The current version works without any problem till now. New features and improvements are being added constantly. Take a look at the ChangeLog for more details.
GTKYahoo has a number of features not available in the Windows or Java versions of the pager, including an auto-reply (answering machine) feature and automatic forwarding of incoming messages via email.
Main features:
- Refreshing the Address Book data now refreshes the friends list (in case anyones real name has changed!)
- Now gtkyahoo re-links if libyahoo.a has changed (finally!)
- All status messages will use real names if real names are enabled
- If youre chatting with a non-friend and youre ingoring messages from non-friends, you will NOT ignore replies to the non-friend youre chatting with!
- Buddy statuses now enclosed in ()s as with Win32 client
- Added lots of keyboard shortcuts to menus
- Now the Get Credentials menu item is disabled upon login
- Added loads of keyboard shortcuts to the menu items
- Now **you** are listed in the Friends list a la the Win32 client
- You can now right-click on your name in the main window and change your status
- All the possible statuses are now settable from keyboard shortcuts
- Bug fixes in the new way the friends CTree is built
- Custom status window is now modal

- Now your own status changes are announced in each of your chat windows (like the Win32 client)

FlexPlaylist project can create a playlist for Noatun that suits users used to WinAmp XMMS style playlists.
Many people just dont use Noatun because they dont like the playlists and thus I decided to make my own one.
Main features:
- Choose own Font and Size instead of KDE-defaults
- Optionally can hide menubar, list-header, statusbar and toolbar to save space
- Show icon in first column
- Context-sensitive menu (also known as rightclick popupmenu) for common actions
- Use extended m3u playlistformat as native format instead of slower xml (itll still be able to load xml-playlists)
- Configurable keyboard-shortcuts for most actions
- Use alternating colors in listview (as seen in kmail and other kde-applications)
- Statusbar showing playtime of currently played title, overall playlist time and no. of playlist items
- Optional show some play controls in the statusbar
- Dockmode, user chooses the window to dock to
- "Jump to" dialog that lets you easily find files in huge playlists
- Autoresize columns, time takes as much space as needed, title column takes the rest
- Ignores files that cant be played by Noatun when trying to add them to the list
Enhancements:
- This release uses a more natural order when adding folders recursively (it dives into sub-folders before adding files from the current folder).
- The GUI uses standard icons for player controls in the status bar, and draws player controls in the status bar using drawing functions provided by the current KDE/Qt style.
- There are also some minor packaging changes (header checks and Debian packaging support).

Album Shaper is a graphical application used to create, maintain, and share photo albums using open formats like HTML, XSLT, and JPG.
Two-layer albums can be created in a drag-n-drop interface which allows quick and easy arrangement and catagorization of photos. Batch rotations make getting your photos ready a quick and easy task.
You can also crop, enhance, and manipulate your photos using a powerful but intuitive editing interface. Photos, collections, and albums themselves can be labeled as needed and modified at a later time by saving and loading from a simple XML format.
Albums are exported as HTML which can then be posted directly on the web or viewed straight from your hard drive.

The compilation and installation process for Linux/FreeBSD users has also seen significant

KMouth is a KDE program which enables persons that cannot speak to let their computer speak, e.g. mutal people or people who have lost their voice.
Currently KMouth has an input field into which the user can type the phrases he wants to hear. Additionally the program contains a history of spoken phrases, a phrase book and word completion.
The user can select phrases from the history which he wants to be re-spoken or he can decide to put often used phrases into the phrases, so that they can be spoken with only few mouse clicks.
KMouth itself does not contain a speech synthesizer. Instead it assumes that a speech synthesizer is available in the system. Currently it either uses any shell command specified by the user or the the text-to-speech interface of KTTSD. (KTTSD, the KDE Text-To-Speech Daemon, a plug-in based KDE project that wants to provide both a standard text-to-speech interface for KDE applications and a simple-to-use configuration dialog for the user.)
Main features:
- An edit field into which you can type phrases you want to hear
- Word completion
- A history of spoken sentences from which you can select phrases which you want to be re-spoken
- A phrase book from which you can select regularly used phrases. The edit dialog for the phrase book allows you to:
- Add, edit or delete phrases and sub-phrase-books
- Assign keyboard shortcuts for phrases
- Import and export phrases and sub-phrase-books
- Import sub-phrase-books from a collection of standard-phrase books
- A configuration dialog which allows you to specify:
- The command for speaking texts
- The method of sending the text to the command (parameter or standard input)
- The character encoding for the text
- KMouth is licensed under the GNU General Public License.
