Finally i made an update of my Slackware system with a brand new version of KDE, KDE 3.5.1 which has been released several months ago, but i haven't installed it yet since there was no official packages from Patrick Volkerding. But now it has changed. The official packages were released yesterday and i managed to download them all with other packages as well (it took me about 6 hours to download them all and the size was about 650 MB, including the kernel packages also). You can see my desktop now running KDE 3.5.1 on the screenshot.
I haven't seen all the changelogs in the KDE's website, but as far as i seen, the visual appearance in new look are fantastic. If you hover on an application on the kicker, it will display a similar view if you hover on the quicklauncher. The virtual desktop has just got better and one of the most improvements are the Super Karamba application which has been integrated since KDE 3.5. All i have to do now is to download a new theme for Super Karamba and start updating my desktop again.
