This project attempts to replicate the new taskbar functionality of Windows 7 in KDE4 / Plasma. Aside from that, it’s still a nice replacement for the default KDE4 task list. The source appears to be updated often, but packages may not always be up to date here. For the bleeding edge, you should build it yourself: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Smooth+Tasks?content=101586
(UPDATE: Apparently this only works on my system at the moment… looking into the issue with the package…. stay tuned.)

Fedora 12 RPMS have been added to the repository. QtCurve-common package is now obsolete, as it is included in the gtk2 package. This gets past some goofy dependency issues. Let me know if you experience any issues with the F12 packages!

I've created a repository for my posted rpms, for both my and your convenience. I'm still working out how to get Apache indexes turned on so it looks normal- for some reason they aren't working, even when the .htaccess is set up properly. I have some poor man's indexes I created from a shell script though, so it's now browseable. Currently it has RPMS for Fedora 11, 12 and 13.
Install this file and you can then do stuff like "yum install cairo-freeworld libXft-freeworld qtcurve*". I can't guarantee this will always be up to date, but I'll try to keep it as current as I keep my own system.

QtCurve is an excellent style for Gnome and KDE. IMO it really makes Linux look professional:

Here is a src.rpm I use to build qtcurve for fedora, as well as the RPMS. Can’t guarantee they will always be up-to-date, but it is at least a good starting point. This was created from a modified spec file I found floating around online. I believe it was for ArchLinux.
I renamed the packages to fall into line more with Fedora’s naming conventions. If you’ve installed older packages of mine you should probably do a "yum remove *QtCurve*" before installing packages built with this, although I did put "Obsoletes" lines into the spec file.
Source RPM:
This is a Fedora package I put together of the Crystal native KDE 4 window decorations found here. I replaced some of the existing "Vista" window buttons with ones from Emerald (compiz window decorator) because they look more like the originals. The spec file I used to build these is a modified version of the Suse spec file.
