Ghil Vertefeuille Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I'm working on a mod of Clearlooks called Sunshine and I'd like to know what you think of it. It's not finished but it's in an advanced state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I´m at a loss I can´t find a download link for Xgl, the Novel site just links to the cvs, where did you get it? CVS :D How do you download all the files? http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fXgl $ cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@cvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/xserver login CVS password: <hit return> $ cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@cvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/xserver co xserver You'll see more instructions there You can also follow something like this http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/kingta...n_amd64_and_xgl You'll also want to get compiz http://cvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/compiz/ http://en.opensuse.org/Xgl http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz You pretty much have to build a seperate xserver to play with it. Also take a look at this http://www.hboeck.de/item/266 If you really haven't done much building of software from source, I wouldn't really recommend starting with Xserver. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlc Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I got XGl running, my screen looks sexy and spinns flips and all that cool stuff ;) so where's the screenie? I need to make a video, istanbul keeps crashing after I save some of it, kind of a pita :( Other than the compiz features: http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz I don't think you see a lot different in look, some of the shading and what not looks nice, but visually I think its harder to tell. My wife thought it was cool when I started flipping the screens and all the compiz features, shes a windows person ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 If you really haven't done much building of software from source, I wouldn't really recommend starting with Xserver. :P Maybe something for next Sunday, I did hear however Ubuntu had Xgl and Compiz available, but I can´t find it and I don´t know if they have rpm´s.

Well, you post them often and make it look easy, i know you're not a newbie but if making a theme is something a newbie can do then i'd like to look into it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted February 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=19748 When I did my first port (BBX Mercury) all I had ever done was edit some home photos. I can't say it's easy at first. Just look at all the garbage that is out there. Making things complete, intersting, and usable can be a challenge with gtk and theming kde is far more complicated...I'd never bother with it. It's been said...'you're not the only one that can edit a gtkrc bvc', and I'm not concerning pixmap themes, but even a simple engine theme has to be done right to be good. http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=25557 and I haven't seen anything else near as good. Oh yeah, link has some good smooth engine themes. Earth is included in this http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=34670 So it appears easy because I've done so many. I get sick when I think of the time it too to overcome just a few of many gtk limitaions just to make gnome more enjoyable. Oh well, give it a try. A port it a good way to dive into it, unless you can make your own images, or are just interested in engine based themes. If you make your own images, just make them the same size as the theme you use as a template and ...there ya go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
