| The '''tdeaddons''' package includes a few plug-ins and scripts integrating and adding features to the '''Trinity Desktop Environment''' included software. The additional features affect some applications like '''Kate''': an advanced text editor, Kfile, Kicker: the application bar manager, '''Konqueror''': the integrated web browser, '''Noatun''': the default media player and KNewsTicker. The package is obviously optional and no TDE base functionality will go missing by not installing it. | | The '''tdeaddons''' package includes a few plug-ins and scripts integrating and adding features to the '''Trinity Desktop Environment''' included software.
