As at this point they will have understood in many, new kde the 4, in particular in its version of development, in order to mean to us that which will become the 4,1, get passionate to me particularly, and I am not here to explain of the reasons, since the characteristics have been wide debated on the web. The object of this post is, instead, the Plasma Themes launch Contest the 21 of this month, whose rules are easy desumibili, also for who does not have much familiarity with the English, from the link of which over. For part mine I want to give my small contribution with a translation, much free one, of post the Creating to Theme Plasma in 7 Easy Steps.
