Mono/Qt and Nokia/Trolltech

I used to do some Qt/C++ development few years back. Qt4 has grown very much since than.

It think it is very difficult to integrate Qt designer in Monodevelop
which is Gtk based. I never seen an GTk application which host Qt/Kde
controls and vice - versa.

Now Trolltech is part of now part of Nokia. Nokia is very much
interested in Mono. They have ported mono to their mobile platform.

I think we should Nokia/Trolltech guys for either start a project
similar to QtJambi (Qt for java) or something like that. Both mono and
Qt are crucial for Nokia. I expect they will come up some thing soon.

One thing I am worrying that how much priority they will give to desktop.
Lets see.

opensuse repair is awesome

I installed OpenSuse 11.1 on my machine. I have done kde4/kde3/gnome installation. It takes about 40-45 minutes. After instaltion I installed Nvidia driver, nvidia driver has installed new kernel (containing trace in name). When I changed boot order to make trace default kernel, grub is installed on root partition than MBR, so my system become unbootable. I got only 2 days of holidays. I come to know abt this problem after I returned to my work city (Indore) from Home (Khandwa). So I could not fix the problem. So I have to fix it via phone. My brother booted the system with Opensuse 11.1 dvd. My brother is not very technical person but he is advace-level PC user. We have never used recover/rescue installed system option. We selected automated recovery mode. It first checks all partitions and packages, all of them found is good state, setup found error boot loader configuration, we loaded boot loader configuration from disk and found that grub is installed on root partition instead of M...

Adding additional class to a button in drupal

Recently we were building a multi-domain site, we are using same theme for all sites but we want to have different colors for buttons for each domain. We achieved this using my overriding theme_button in template.php of theme, here is the snippet. /** * Overwrite theme_button() * @file template.php */ function mytheme_button($variables) { $element = $variables['element']; // Add some extra conditions to make sure we're only adding // the classto the right submit button Now add our custom class if (isset($element['#attributes'])) { $element['#attributes']['class'] [] = 'button'; $domain = domain_get_domain(); $element['#attributes']['class'] [] = $domain['machine_name']; } $variables['element'] = $element; return theme_button($variables); }

During recent time, contribution to OpenSuse has increase a lot, so it is taking time review and accept/reject those changes, this is main cause of delay.
