--- Description ---

Yakuake is a drop-down terminal emulator based on KDE Konsole tech-
nology.


--- Release Notes ---

Yakuake 2.9.4 is yet another relatively minor, but tasty upgrade to
Yakuake's KDE 4 version, introducing new artwork, features and bug
fixes over the previous version.

The highlight of this release is a new application icon designed by
the lead artist of the KDE Oxygen team, Nuno Pinheiro. It's available
in many more sizes than the old icon, and as a SVG as well, meaning
you'll now finally get to see a sharp icon where a blurry mess used
to be in various places throughout KDE 4.

Aside from that, there's a new background tinting option giving more
control over the appearance of any translucent areas of a skin without
having to modify the skin files by hand. Its default settings aim to
improve the appearance of the default skin when using translucency out
of the box.

Rounding things out is a fix for a rare corner case bug in the realm
of moving tabs around, as well as updates to the KDE4FAQ file.

Finally, while we unfortunately didn't manage to launch it in sync
with this release as we had hoped, there's finally real movement on
a new proper Yakuake website with various useful resources; look for
that on http://yakuake.kde.org/ in the not too distant future.
