After six months of development, the release of the desktop environment Trinity R14.1.7 has been published, continuing the advancement of the KDE 3.5.x codebase and Qt 3. Binary packages will soon be prepared for Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL\/CentOS, Fedora, Arch, openSUSE, and other distributions. <\/p>\n
Key features of Trinity include its own tools for managing screen parameters, a udev-based layer for hardware interaction, a new interface for hardware configuration, a switch to the Compton-TDE composite manager (a fork of Compton with TDE extensions), an improved network configurator, and user authentication mechanisms. The Trinity environment can be installed and used alongside the latest releases of KDE, including the capability to use already installed KDE applications within Trinity. There are also tools for properly displaying the interfaces of GTK applications without breaking the unified design style. <\/p>\n
