The '''tdetoys''' package adds some amusement programs to the '''Trinity Desktop Environment'''. Included in the package are some very varied applications such as '''Amor''', an animated mascot which runs around the screen following either the active window or the mouse pointer, '''Keyes''', a pair of eyes aimed to the moving mouse pointer, '''Kteatime''', a tool to help in preparing tea which provides a handy timer, the program / daemon pair '''Kweatherreport''', '''Kweatherservice''', providing temperature and weather conditions of a selected place, and many more. As the name suggests applications are little more than toys, but can be very useful to test the environment functionality and component integration. The package is '''completely optional''' and '''no TDE feature will go missing by not installing it'''.

The tdetoys package replaces kdetoys for KDE 3.5. The build system relies on '''autotools''' and has not been ported to [http://www.cmake.org cmake] yet. The kdetoys build script can be used for tdetoys, but some updates and tweaks are due. The following rules were applied when compiling the package to ensure a clean build:
