ehm... and glitz-test too, that thing with the gradient-filled rectangle and the punched out text "Funky cairo!". - Jan 11 2007

I'm running it and like the new roundness-setting.

That a very original idea you implemented for the second-"hand"! I've never thought about something like this yet. Two thumbs up from me!

It is. The main difference is that you'll put every part in a seperate layer instead of a seperate file. The parts are then identified by the layer-name.

Greetings turbojugend!

Nice theming-work! I'm glad people start picking up the fact that the look of the clock can be altered.

I hope you won't hate me once cairo-clock 0.4.0 is done. I've changed the themeing (simplified it, only one SVG-file for a whole theme).

Best regards...

MacSlow\'s Cairo-Clock

Various Gnome Stuff by MacSlow 45 comments

When you started cairo-clock right-click on it and be surprised :)

There's also a man-page installed with it. So just do a:

man cairo-clock

and read a bit about it.

Best regards...

Greetings everybody!

You don't have to install it system-wide if you don't want to (or can't, if you're not root). Create a directory:

~/.cairo-clock

and just untar this themes tarball into it so you then have:

~/.cairo-clock/tango black

Then restart cairo-clock and select the new theme in the preferences-dialog reachable via the clocks popup-menu (RMB).

BTW, stylish variation of the tango-theme!

Best regards...

A nice rendering! The material you gave the ubuntu-logo makes it look like to be made out of winegum. I almost want to grab it off the screen and bite into it :)

I don't run AIGLX myself, but heard from people who use AIGLX that it works. That's all I can say about it at the moment.

I like the gnome and ubuntu themes. But the hands are a bit too tiny for my taste.

Ehm... not sure. Aside from double-checking that you are really running on X11 with enabled "Composite":

xdpyinfo | grep Composite

I would try to run xcompmgr with different parameters. I tend to call it like this:

xcompmgr -cCfF -r15 -o.75 -l-20 -t-17 -D6

It's a mix of "Trebuchet MS", "Verdana" and "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono Roman".

1.) Regarding the "starter" see above.

2.) What from gdm do you see there in the screenshot?

3.) The clock is "MacSlow's cairo-clock". It's listed here on gnome-look.org under "Others". The theme used for it is "tango" done by jp@jannol.com. You can grab it from http://linux.jannol.com/ubuntu/cairo-clock_themes

The dock-like thing at the bottom are the super early beginnings of my cairo-dock. Before you ask... no it's not released yet and it's not to be released anytime soon, because I really need to focus on "lowfat".

... stay open-minded! If dudes like well-built women on their wallpapers and post them here, why can't gals post background-art with studs they fancy?! Where is it written down that this is a men-centric place?! As long as stuff is kept non-pornographic people should let other people be no matter what.

Oh please people... do read the requirements on the project-page. You need Composite enabled in your xorg.conf and a running compositing-manager like xcompmgr or compiz. Folks running it under KDE/kwin also reported that kwin's compositing-manager works too.

Ubuntu 3D Wallpaper

I assume this was done with blender. Didn't know there was a greeble-plugin for it available. Or did you model all those cubes and rects manually?

Sure it does. No reason why it should not :) I also had my fair bit of play-time with the clock running under Xgl/compiz. Check out http://macslow.thepimp.net/?p=24

Indeed that missing "click-through" is really annoying (for people that know what's going on) or just plain confusing (for people that don't know "how stuff works (tm)"). For 0.4 I'll have to get something sorted out for this glitch with the X11-Shape extension. Fixes for the newest librsvg, a command-line parsing bug , man-page installation and the wrong path in the desktop-menuitem will also come with that release.

But after the patch for the changed librsvg call it works under KDE (and its compositing manager) for you?

Yeah, they changed that call from librsvg 2.13.90 to 2.13.91 *sigh* I also found out yesterday. Just when a few folks form the community helped with getting rpms and ebuilds done.

Various Gnome Stuff by MacSlow 45 comments

Do you have the Composite-extension actually turned on? Like so:

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? And do you also have xcompmgr actually running ?

Best regards...

Hm... off the top of my head I've no clue what might be wrong on your side. Maybe paste the output of:

pkg-config --modversion --cflags librsvg-2.0

Perhaps that might be helpful with this kind of remote error-hunt :)

Best regards...

Check that you have at least librsvg-2.13.0 and the corresponding header files installed (e.g. the preview-release "Dapper Drake flight 3" of Ubuntu has this, also "Fedora Core 5 test 2" should have this). I myself only tested this with librsvg 2.13.5, which comes with "Dapper Drake".

In general I want to apologize for setting the requirements-bar that high with all those "bleeding-edge" libs and tools only available in preview-releases of the coming distributions. But it is all too tempting not to play around with all this :)

BTW: Don't do everyday stuff on your machine as root-user!

Nah... it's not useless... it displays the time. That is some damn important function ;-)

Glad, you people like it... I appreciate the feedback!

This is among the best OSX-like brushed themes I've seen for gtk+ so far. Very good job!
