QBrew
Homebrewer's recipe calculator. I needed one so I wrote one. Use this to formulate recipes for ales, lagers and stouts. It also includes a brewing primer for those just starting out in the homebrewing hobby. QBrew builds and runs under Linux, Unix (BSD, Solaris, etc), Mac OSX and Windows. See a screenshot of QBrew in action.

Themes and Styles
For yourQt and KDE eyecandy needs, here are some themes and styles. Last updated May 2nd, 2007.
phase-0.8.tar.bz2 [17K] An original widget style for Qt. It is designed to be functional but not drab, and aesthetic but not distracting. This version is for Qt 4. If you want the KDE 3 version, you can use phase-0.7.tar.bz2. See a screenshot. Phase is now a part of KDE's kdeartwork package, and is being maintained there.
qinx-1.4.tar.bz2 [374K] Here's a widget style and window decoration for KDE 3. It is inspired by the QNX Photon desktop. See a screenshot.
newstep-0.6.tar.bz2 [365K] A widget style for KDE 3 emulating the NeXT look and feel. By default, a modern look with gradients is used, but the "classic" NeXT look can be set as an option. See a screenshot.
grover-1.1.tar.gz [459K] Here's a window decoration for KDE 3. Like Phase, its goals are to be functional but not drab, aesthetic but not distracting. See a screenshot.
Also see the Kwin Theming HOWTO for a tutorial and example code to create your own Kwin theme.
Miscellaneous
Snippets, tidbits, classes and stuff. These are unmaintained, so use at your own risk!
lexicon-0.1.tar.gz [9K] Here's a lexical generator based on phonological constraints. In other words, a random word generator. Use it for conlangs, rpgs, etc.
preferences-0.3.tar.gz [4K] Here's a Qt class to handle application preferences. The API is similar to QSettings and KConfig. It saves preferences in XML format. Very easy to use.
quantity-0.1.tar.gz [5K] Here's a Quantity class based on Fowler's Quantity Analysis Pattern. Store your weights and measures as Quantity types and easily convert between units.
