Mostly, what I'm frustrated with is that I can't get the same look that I could get by simply using the UNO in rev 100126, because of the shadow. Even if it's sunken, there's this small one pixel line showing, and it's not as seamless like it used to be. :( - Aug 04 2010

Nice way how to implement this and many other simple info is the applet Command Watch

http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Command+Watch?content=84523

For example if you want to see the discharging power and temperature use this script

#!/bin/sh

T=`cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature | awk '{print $2}'`

A=`cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/current_now`
B=`cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/voltage_now`
sleep 1
#echo $A $B
A=$A+`cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/current_now`
B=$B+`cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/voltage_now`
sleep 1
#echo $A $B
A=$A+`cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/current_now`
B=$B+`cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/voltage_now`
A=`echo $A | bc`
B=`echo $B | bc`
#echo $A $B

if cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/status | grep Full > /dev/null
then C=""
else
if cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state | grep discharging > /dev/null
then C="-"
else C="+"

I'm not using Compiz. I'm using the default KWin effects. I'm running 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 on a Pentium 4 3.4GHz with Hyperthreading enabled.

Oh, before I forget. The reply where I gave you a couple of images to show KDevelop. Notice how the UNO colors and style fit with in with the titlebar, but in the picture I just posted of Dolphin, notice how it's not the same. I haven't been able to get the titlebar to look the same way with the new SVN version.

Is it possible you could fix and/or introduce that feature/functionality back? I really enjoyed it, and it made my style look a whole lot nicer. - Jun 15 2010

Hey, could you check compatibility with KDevelop4 (recently released) and Dolphin? Dolphin displays an ugly inline shadow-ish thing with the most recent SVN snapshot, let me know if you need to see an image and my configuration. I use glass everything, UNO, and a bunch of other stuff if that's any help. And with KDevelop, nothing looks right! KDevelop is an awesome IDE, but nothing looks right graphically when using Bespin, and it makes me not want to use KDevelop. :( - May 30 2010
Smooth Tasks

Plasma 4 Extensions by panzi 840 comments

The fork is here
http://bitbucket.org/flupp/smooth-tasks-fork/overview
but it is really buggy and panzi wrote that he doesn't want to make any changes until it will be merged.

Here are some problems you can fix
Regressions:
1) tiny icons/big margins - with the same size of panel icons are much smaller. It looks that the margins are too big. . This is problem mainly with smaller panels.
2) lights - the default setting of margins (without custom margins workarounds) should be the same like in the original smooth-tasks (3px) now it is too big


Other that can be improved in the new version:
- Minimal and maximal button width should be near each other. Or better solution is removing the Expanding size option and make new option of interval min/max expanded size. Default setting should be min=max=175.
- Instead of Minimal Icon Space there should be Minimal Ratio of Frame, it is more logical and now it behaves strange with some small icons (for example the plasmoidviewer icon). The ratio should be limited from 1 to infty.
- The option Anchor Light (vertically, horizontally) is not called correctly when the applet is in vertical position. But I have no idea how to call it to avoid confusion :)

Other problems in the old version:
- is there really necessary to set exactly the Move duration, Highlight Delay, Frames per Second, Animation Duration ans Animation speed? There should be in one option Animation Speed, from fast to slow. (Or even more heretic idea, use the settings of animation speed in Desktop effects)
- the should be delay between moving pointer on the applet and hovering of the tooltip, check the WIN7
- add the kinetics Qt animations
- add pinning feature, but with pinning, there is the problem that the fancy tasks developer wrote that he will make a new library with some new features so it can be duplicate effort

But if you think that you can help, you should try.

Be-Shell/Bespin by thomas12777 1662 comments

The latest SVN will not compile on Ubuntu (using KDE) 10.04 amd64. I figure this is because 10.04 changed the package contents and switched and moved files around. More specifically, here is the error encountered:

Quote:[ 88%] Building CXX object kwin/CMakeFiles/kwin3_bespin.dir/client.o
/home/acidburn/cloudcity/kwin/client.cpp:45:34: error: X11/extensions/shape.h: No such file or directory
The entire folder where that file is missing seems to have been changed, so I suspect that if I did get past shapes.h another error would popup about another file in the same folder.

Can you fix this so I can compile from SVN and use the latest? I don't like using the one from the repos, it's older, and the newer one has better bug fixes and whatnot. - May 02 2010
I see. I already started to strip down kdelibs' dependencies but gave it up. For now, I simply extracted the required libraries from kdebase-workspace, kdelibs and strigi, put them into a package and it works fine.

If someone is interested, the required libraries are:

From kdebase-workspace:
libkdecorations.so*

From kdelibs:
libkdeui.so*
libkio.so*
libkdecore.so*
libsolid.so*

From strigi:
libstreamanalyzer.so*
libstreams.so*

Of course not kdelibs itself. It includes tons of dependencies. This wasn't meant as offense, though. That's just the output of my package manager.

It's not only about kde icons, but icons in general.
So I guess it's not possible to change the icon theme of qt applications without installing kde. 500 mb just for the icons is a bit too much for me, but thanks anyway. - Apr 17 2010
hi,
I really like qtcurve; thanks for the work. The only issue is the icon theme in qt applications. Unlike gtk applications which use the installed oxygen icons, qt uses a really old looking icon set[1]. So my question is, is there a way to set the icon theme in the qt-only version of qtcurve or even in qt itself? Thanks.

- Font size in dialogs of Adobe Reader is too big and some of the buttons are not drawn correctly:

Plasma 4 Extensions by panzi 840 comments

There is a lot of places in KDE where it can be set
1) did you try to experiment with all the smoothtasks settings (for example use the original tooltips?)
2) system settings/Desktop/Animation speed
3) system settings/Appearance/Style/Fine Tuning/Graphical effects/(Use low CPU)
the last option is maybe only in KDE4.4

Panzi wrote that the animations now are only a workaround. In future it (maybe) will be reworked to the Kinetics. - Feb 28 2010
Bespin

Be-Shell/Bespin by thomas12777 1662 comments

This is no doubt a great theme, but there's a very major bug in it. When using this theme with Compiz-Fusion and Compiz-KDE (so you can use KWin themes like this one with Compiz, really awesome), the Minimize, Maximize, and Close buttons DO NOT function at all, AND there's a small graphical glitch on the titlebar unless "Ignore style hints from the (Bespin) widget style" is disabled. Also, right below the window buttons (minimize, etc), there's a small glitch about 5 pixels long that cuts down, or into the window, and disabling that feature doesn't fix the glitch. Small problems, but I'd be forever grateful if they were fixed, so I can use this awesome KWin style with KDE and Compiz-Fusion! - Jan 12 2010

I was able to compile this program on Slackware 13.0 with Cmake and the *.pro file. On Slackware we use a multilib directory structure (eg. /lib64, /usr/lib64, etc).

Plasma 4 Extensions by panzi 840 comments

I just couldn't wait so I had a look at the source and implemented a delay.

In WindowsPreview.cpp, line 468:

QTimer::singleShot(250, this, SLOT(highlightTaskTimeout()));

(The 300 was originally a 50.)

Now there's a delay of 300 ms.

The only thing that bothers me is that you can't quickly highlight another window. (There's always a delay between highlighting.) - Oct 22 2009

I really don't know how you figured out that in win7 is the light moving vertically? In win 7 is the light effect quite complex (I'm not saying that the plasmoid should be exact copy win7 !) but the vertical move looks very strange. You can get used to many things but the previous version was quite good. - Oct 13 2009

“The task that is expanding should not move away from under the mouse because of the animation.”
That's correct, I was a bit imprecisely about this. My problem is, if I do not hit the correct button at once, but a button left of it instead, this button expands and the correct button “runs” away. - Sep 13 2009

Plasma 4 Extensions by panzi 840 comments

It would be great if one could enable task button expansion under certain conditions (e.g. current desktop) but disable expansion on hover. The moving buttons on hover make it difficult for me to hit the correct button. - Sep 12 2009

Plasma 4 Extensions by panzi 840 comments

Perfect work but this applet have still problems on systems without composition.
When you stop composition the preview disappears and the tooltips looks strange when there are grouped windows
http://yfrog.com/4cimgsrj
Better would be to sort them above (something like original tasks).
Also when you disable tooltips and enable grouping you can't choose from the grouped windows on taskbar. There should be same menu as on the picture.
Do you thing that it is possible to implement this feature? - Sep 09 2009
