KDE 3.x Window Decorations by ceebx 100 comments

I really like this windec! I do have a question though. Why is it that your windec doesn't allow to close a window by double clicking on the window decoration menu? I have found this to be true for many other window decorations as well. Some of them work, some of them don't. I guess this could be a problem with my setup, but it is specific to only certain window decorations, so I would guess not.

thanks for the great windec!

crystal-style tab icons

Icon Sub-Sets by lrandall 10 comments

I like these alot, however I would like to offer a suggestion. Right now the icons look too much like the Icon View/List View icons. The fact that they represent tabs is seen through the different blue border on the top, however this is very small. I think that to make it even more obvious that the picture refers to tabs you should make the tab part of the image bigger and more dominant. - Jun 04 2003

No. I made this entirely from scratch using images I took using my camera. A picture of a light shining on a cd, and a light shining through a glass of water, if i remember correctly. - Jun 01 2003

regimp

Gimp Splashes by rgfree 27 comments

Uhm, I was all excited about this, but it doesn't seem to work correctly. The only thing it seems to do is minimize the gimp toolbox when you minimize the regimp window. It doesn't minimize the image windows or any of the dialogs. Is this correct? I would assume not, since that would make this rather useless. - May 23 2003

What sort of effects do you have in mind?

Also, you can select multiple directories by creating a directory with simlinks to the image directories you want to use. SlideShowGL will recurse into the directory one level. I did this because it seemed like a more flexible solution - you can have as many image directories as you want, and it doesn't clutter the setup interface - May 13 2003

I don't know if i understand what you are saying about the transition. Do you mean that image A transitions to image B, and then suddenly the image changes to an image C without any transition?

The reason that quake3 can work is because it's not loading 4096x4096 images as textures. this should not be a problem if you are running the screensaver on normal sized images (1280x1024, 1600x1200), however if you do load images larger than 2048x2048, you will run out of texture memory. It is possible to scale the image before hand, but in order to do that without causing any skips I would have to implement an incremental image scaler. I could then do a little bit of scaling at each frame, instead of scaling the whole image at once and lagging the animation. Even then, if the machine isn't fast enough, lagging will most likely occure. It's alot of coding for something that could be easily avoided by not using insane image sizes if you are running on an older graphics card.

Right now the CPU time is very low, by having to scale all the images beforehand it would raise the CPU time significantly (not something that is desired from a screensaver either). Are you using images that are THAT big? I'm not convinced that this is the cause of your problem. - May 06 2003

The indexing problem that you speak of: are you sure that you do not have randomize images selected in the setup? If you do not have that selected then the images should display in alphabetical order, otherwise they are shuffled.

I don't really understand why you are having that split screen problem. I have never run across that. Your card seems rather old and does not have that much video memory. Possibly you are trying to load images that are very very large? If you try to load images that are larger than 2048x2048 the graphics card would need over 50 MB of ram to store that. Somehow i don't think that is the problem, but I am out of ideas.

Does this only happen on certain images? Try running the screensaver on a completely different set of images, preferably small images. - May 06 2003

That is the Bluecurve theme which is the default theme for both Gnome and KDE in Redhat 8.0/9. I'm pretty sure you can get repackaged version for other distros somewhere on this site, or you could look into freecurve or qtcurve. - Apr 25 2003

Do you have libGLU installed? They will either be provided by Mesa or whatever GL driver you may be using. Note that the rpm that is currently available on kde-look is not up to date with the newest version of the screensaver that I uploaded today. (AFAICT). - Apr 25 2003

Rotate Image Service menu

Dolphin Service Menus by wjarosz 5 comments

For some reason the konqueror thumbnail view doesn't always refresh after doing this, so it may require an explicit F5 to show up (though the actual file is already rotate, the preview simply isn't synced up). Does anyone know how to fix this? Is there a way (maybe using DCOP) to make konqueror refresh the view?

Also, as a side note, does anyway know how to force a refresh of thumbnails by konqueror? I've run into the problem, if I overwrite one image with another, that the thumbnail of the image doesn't change (it continues to show the old image, which could be completely different). - Apr 08 2003

Thats strange, since I have the same card. It could be a driver or XFree issue. Are you using the NVidia drivers? Other than that I don't really know how to help, I'm by no means an expert at this. I am pretty sure that there is an OpenGL texture size limit, which is card dependent. But since I have the same card, that doesn't make sense.

At some time in the future I was considering implementing tiling so that large images are split up into multiple 64x64 texture tiles. This would ensure that they show up (I think), since in order to claim OpenGL support, a card needs to support at least a certain size texture (64x64 or something like that). That would require significant additions to the code however, and currently I have exams to worry about.

If you are comfortable enough with coding you could try playing around with the code, and I would love knowing what the problem is if you find it.

Good luck. - Apr 06 2003

I unfortunately don't have any experience in that and don't have time to teach myself at the momement. But anyone is of course welcome to make a .deb out of this and release it under the GPL. - Apr 05 2003

Hmm, thats strange. This would mean that the first image loads fine, but all images after that either don't load correctly off of disk, or don't get uploaded to the graphics card correctly. This could possibly happen if you don't have much texture memory, or the size limit for GL textures on your card is smaller than the size of the images being loaded. It might work in the setup window because the size of the GL window is smaller, and therefore uses less video memory (therefore leaving more for the textures). Can you try it with smaller images to see if that fixes it? - Apr 04 2003

Check to make sure that you have libjpeg and libjpeg-devel installed. I think that should fix your problem. I will try to add a check for that into the configure script so that this gets caught earlier. - Apr 04 2003

Full Icon Themes by everaldo 385 comments

when hovering over folder icons, the folders start to animate, but previous frames do not get cleared. the effect is like a long motion blur, where each image is visible behind the current frame. does anyone else experience this visual artifact when mousing over animated folder icons?

is there a way to fix this? - Jan 26 2003
