Screenlets 0.0.9 rilasciate! 2 August, 2007

Qualche giorno fa è uscita una nuova versione delle screenlets, la dashboard per il nostro pinguino, utilizzante cairo e le immagini vettoriali (cosa che noi gnommari facciamo già non abbiamo bisogno di plasma LOL). Link al thread sul forum di Compiz

ChangeLog

0.0.9:

• new tabbed layout in Properties-dialog (e.g. new Themes-tab)
• improved MailCheck (now uses keyring to store passwords, NOTE: passwords are only stored for the current session yet)
• improved Launcher (now supports drag&drop of menu-entries from Applications-menu)
• improved CPUMeter (including new theme)
• improved Notes (far better, yet still buggy, keyhandling)
• new “protected”-options (not accessible through dbus)
• faster startup and resizing (hopefully)
• improved theme-system, most themes can now be created from _either_ PNG _or_ SVG images (except the Clock), I hope to see some more themes now Wink
• many more details in changelog …

0.0.8:

• new session-system: screenlets are now intended to be launched separately and support multiple sessions (the screenlets-daemmon is still supported to ensure backwards compatibility with third-party screenlets, but shouldn’t be used anymore and will get removed sooner or later)
  
• screenlets not run within one process anymore, each screenlet-type has its own process and automatically handles multiple instances within that process
  
• all screenlets now have own dbus-services and can easily interact with other applications and/or offer custom services (like org.screenlets.Clock or org.screenlets.Notes), this offers very amazing possibilites for the developer
  
• new PicframeScreenlet, FlowerScreenlet and StorageScreenlet (some of them still quite unfinished)
  
• added drag&drop support to baseclass and some of the screenlets (Picframe can receive images through drag&drop, Notes can receive text, …)
  
• separated code into several modules
  
• various bugfixes and optimizations
  
• … see changelog in package for a full list of changes (there are quite a few …)

   Belle le screenlets… peccato che per godersele appieno si debba disporre di un compositor.

   provati questi screenlets veramente carini speriamo solo che non diventino una scopiazzatura della dashboard di mac os x…

   Wow non servono a niente ma sono fighi, infatti ho una versione + vecchia, su gnome-look ho fatto pure 2 orologi giusto per vedere a grandi linee come funzionava inkscape.

   Ho pacchettizzato le Screenlets 0.0.9 per Debian/Ubuntu. Sfortunatamente non c’è un’utility tipo System-Tray in questa versione, per aggiungere una screenlet bisogna farlo a mano o usando lo scriptino “addscreenlet nome-screenlet” (stando al README).
   Il download è disponibile sul mio sito nell’apposita sezione.

   Peccato che hanno tolto un macello di screenlets che nella 0.0.7 c’erano….

   Nel pacchetto screenlets-extra del mio repository, ho raccolto qualche screenlets presa su Gnome-Look. Nella descrizione del pacchetto c’è l’elenco.
