beesea Posted January 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 speaking of the slit, i found a nice little dockapp called wmdrawer that works as a nice substitution for my not-always-on-top gnome panel. its basically the same thing as the drawer applet for the gnome panel but it runs in the slit. its pretty configurable and it can easily be made to look nice. last night i found a patch that opens the drawer when my mouse moves over it (normally you have to click to open the drawer), so it works even faster.

AA Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 Ok now this is all beginning to make sense......... I know about the 3D-Desktop thing...!! idesk doesnt work very well I've found. Seems, unstable. Not really sure how to explain it, I just don't like it. Maye there's something wrong with my configuration...!! I will try all that other stuff as soon as I get fluxbox again. I redid my system but last time I installed fluxbox I urpmi'ed it and forgot to save the urpmi downloaded files. Hopefully by this weekend....!!

tyme Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 i usually built fluxbox from source, dunno why. i'm going to try idesk today, we'll see how that goes. i also found a fluxbox/blackbox type WM cailled waimea, it looks pretty interesting-as transperency built-in to the window manager, kinda neat. don't have the link w/me, so if anyone wants it let me know and i'll hunt it down....

AA Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 I would love the link.... I **really** like transparency.......!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 http://www.waimea.org i haven't played around too much with it yet, just discovered it last night. it doesn't appear to have the bar like in flux/blackbox-you know, where you see things that are minimized. not sure what the deal w/that is, but, ah well!

AA Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 Can you do as much with it as you can with fluxbox....? I mean the whole slit thing and the icons and all that...? Also can you get or load some kinda "taskbar"....? Just wondering... I'll browse the page some more and see what I can find but if you could answer any of those questions it would be cool.... So far I am liking the screenshots...!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 like i said, i just started with it last night. i dunno about a slit, but you can do the dockapps and so forth. taskbar, no clue. icons: idesk is what i'm going to try out, seems that everyone using it uses idesk. again...just found it last night, haven't gotten to playing with it much yet :) (tho i'm about to try getting it running on my RH 8.0 laptop at work) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beesea Posted January 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 i decided to give waimea a try, and i've only been using for about 2 minutes, but i don't think you can minimize. i think all you can do is shade. kinda weird....anyway, back to checkin it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
