Kor is an implementation of a desktop workspace, consisting of a desktop window, 'run command' dialog and panel(s). Each component can be disabled, so Kor can be also used for example only as a 'run command' dialog.
Although still under development, it is already usable for users who consider the current feature set sufficient and can handle manual configuration.
Current status (0.3.3):
- run command dialog
- desktop window
- panels
- Plasma applets support for panels
- native clock applet (more to be done)
- image, color and Plasma wallpaper support
- config file (no configuration UI)
- follows KDE color scheme and widget style
- some Plasma applets have various problems that seem to be their bugs, which however do not show with plasma-desktop (workarounds for some cases are included)
See the README file for further details.

In any case, I like the idea of Kor as plasma is eating more mem and CPU than I like and LXDE is just too damn ugly :D
Will try it once it builds again (right now broken for 12.1) and will let you know how it went.
Cheers

Are you using kdelibs or only Qt? And the plasmalibs?

Is it possible to use with windowmaker, for instance ? I would like to replace plasma and kwin, mainly in a laptop that i cant use both. I would use your software and windowmaker (with its own window manager).
Thanks in advance for the simple yet effective work.

- it just does the job of simply running commands, which I can't quite say about KRunner, as it has a number of annoying problems (granted, those are simply bugs, but nevertheless it's annoying)
- I'm more used to the KDE3 dialog and dislike the fact that the KRunner dialog looks like no other dialog
- I was curious and wanted to try it
- it is simply an alternative
- it is only 0.1.1 (but who says I'm stopping there)
