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 :P 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 Wink …)

Forse non tutti sanno che quando le applicazioni cominciano ad utilizzare un composited screen le cose si fanno decisamente più interessanti…

Screenlets è un comodo programma che permette di aggiungere delle mini-apps (widgets) sul vostro desktop per renderlo più gradevole, pratico, e completo.
