Nice work! Worked perfectly on KDE 3.5.8 using Debian's tools (apt-get source, dpkg-buildpackage).

Only thing I haven't found yet is how to build kmilo without building all other packages in kdeutils...

Thanks!

Kubuntu Feisty, with KDE 3.5.7 failed.

followed your howto, including

as the output error shows, you don't have the file xmmsctrl.h in your library path. This library comes with the xmms-dev package, try to install it and try again.

This worked for me on 3.5.7 as well with no problems.

Thank you for making this!

because I want a clean as possible system I created the kmilo deb package for kubuntu.

http://kenny-x.student.utwente.nl/stuff/kmilo_3.5.6-0ubuntu2_i386.deb

I hope distribution maintainer will pick this patch.

I always hated kmilo

It's now customizable via the kconfig interface, just like nature intended.

Made an standard patch this time for those who like the text on top.

Check it out.

I really should link to my Bleach berylcube theme (on gnome-look) from myspace lol. Then I'd have even more points.

It's a source patch I also made an eBuild for Gentoo.

What distro do you use?

Hi,

I like it but I found the same problem as Darklips (cannot apply this patch). Can someone please add or write down a simple howto? I use SUSE (10.2 if it matters).

Thanks

I don't know much about SuSE, but I made a small how-to, hope it helps:

Great space reduction. As I changed my laptop from 15" 1400x1050 to 12.1" 1024x768 I like the not so intrusive popup. Welcome enhancement, thanks.

I added your Gentoo ebuild to my overlay but changed it a bit to make the patch optional. To get it activated you have to set the use-flag 'kmilo-small'.

You will find the overlay here: https://lepetitfou.dyndns.org/projects/gentoo/wiki/LefousPortageOverlay

Great idea!

Hey can I post your overlay link in my blog post?

> Great idea!

Ideally, the option would be placed not inside the ebuild but inside the KMilo kcm module itself, but this requires more patching, changes of GUI and adding more translatable strings...

> Hey can I post your overlay link in my blog post?

Sure, no problem.

nice patch :)

Just to let people know, anyone using ubuntu or a similar debian based build will need to get the source package of "kdeutils" to apply this patch.

I'm not sure if the same holds true for other distributions.

It is part of the larger kdeutils in most, i forgot to mention that.
