    • the Plasma Desktop environment
    • the Plasma Netbook environment
    • the Plasma Active new, cool environment for pads and smartphones
  • KWin is KDE's reliable and flexible window manager with hardware accelerated effects for added beauty and usability.
  • Oxygen gives your desktop a refreshing and breath-taking visual appearance.
  • Phonon brings the magic of sound and video to your desktop.
  • Solid helps make your hardware just work.
  • Nepomuk is about classification, organisation, and presentation of data.
