Version 1.2 for KDE 4 has arrived!
+++ News +++ News +++
Kannasaver is a screensaver for people who want to learn Japanese. The idea is that by randomly showing Hiragana or Katakana together with the Romaji transcript, they start to stick to your memory after a while.
Kannasaver was inspired by a windows screensaver that does exactly the same, which is available from www.thejapanesepage.com for free.
Dependencies: Other than KDE 4.x, you need to have soft-scalable (truetype) fonts that contain the Japanese characters. Search for the Mika-Chan font set if anything else fails.

I thought you were inactive. Well, I know, I didn't try to email you directly, but ... anyway. I started porting already. Just a few hours of work, and it does not do anything incredible besides compiling. But if you are interested, I'll share the Git repository somewhere.
Since I thought you were inactive, I made some design decisions (no idea whether they are good or bad for a screen saver). Using KConfigXT is one of them; the others somehow evolved while trying to make it compile. I looked at other KDE screensavers so I probably drifted a bit off. That means there are some very ugly things there now, but I planned to fix these once I have the time.
So, contact me if you are interested.
Regards

have you plans on porting this amazing screensaver to KDE 4?
Cheers

in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!
What should I do?

the packages in question should have names like kdebase3-devel, kdelibs3-devel and such.

guess I'll set my screensaver to turn on after 1 min then if people think I'm weird for letting my screen saver on that often I'll just say my brain was wasting clock cycles and I'm studying ;)

I got this idea long time a go, but never knew how to make it.
here is my feature request.
KANJI !!!! show a kanji along with hiragana prononciation AND english meanings.
maybe you can look at kiten code for dictionary transalation and stuff...
thanks, keep on the good work

besides, the way i understand subconscious learning, it wouldnt work with something as complex as kanji and their readings.
but feel free to grab my source and build from it. its GPL'ed after all ;)
