Plasma 5 Applets by anthon38 106 comments

Thanks, to create the deb I just had to do "sudo checkinstall" instead of "sudo make install" as last command!

Works really nice, well done! - May 13 2015

Plasma 5 Applets by anthon38 106 comments

How can I build a deb package from the source archive? I tried the standard "./configure && make && sudo checkinstall" but the ./configure file is missing... am I missing something obvious?

DISCLAIMER: I have no coding skills at all, sorry if this question is/sounds stupid. XD - Apr 27 2015
bchocobo

Plasma 4 Extensions by ibuscher 1 comment

Ahahahahah this is funny!
Ok, performance is much much better this time around, I'd say it has very little cost (if any) in terms of system performance.

I don't know if you have any plans on developing this, but if you do, it needs some settings (like speed control... boy this little thing is FAST! XD ) and some good way to close it, I had to struggle and juggle with my trackpad to stop the chocobo, I clicked on it with the left button and kept it pressed to make it stop running, then i simultaneously clicked with the right button and I've been able to close the plasmoid via a context menu... but that's a little bit tricky!
I don't know, you could make the chocobo stop running if i click on it, and then making in run again with another click... that way you have time to make the plasmoid control little bar and effectively use it without chasing this little yellow tornado all around the screen :P

P.S.
By the way, you must totally do a RoadRunner / Wyle &. Coyote version of this :D - Feb 13 2011
benma

Plasma 4 Extensions by ibuscher 5 comments

bkodama is from ibuscher, just like benma! ;)

I don't know if it depends on the bigger dimension of this plasmoid, but while I can let bkodama live peacefully on my desktop, wandering, appearing and disappearing alla around without any significant loss in system performance, as i loaded benma my system began to CRAWL... I even had a difficult time in shutting benma down.

I'm on a Dell Mini 1012 (so not exactly a ultrapower machine) but such a persisten slowdown is unusual nevertheless.

Anyway keep up with these, I love them ;) - Feb 12 2011
Elegant-EOS KDM theme

KDM4 Themes by jarod82 19 comments

Are you sure you are using KDM and not GDM? from what I can see on the Mint website, the KDE version of Mint 10 has not yet been released. You shouldn't need to install system settings i kde, it's default.

Anyway, I really don't know what's not working for you, if you are really using KDM, sorry. - Feb 08 2011

Also, you could try to download the file again, perhaps something went wrong in the download... - Feb 04 2011

I wouldn't know what to say to you, I can perfectly install it that way... which distro/kde version are you running? - Feb 04 2011

With the aid of the tutorial you linked I've been able to make Zephyr work... expect a new version of my theme with a proper screenshot in a few minutes!

Many thanks! ;) - Feb 03 2011

KDM4 Themes by jarod82 19 comments

Thank you, I didn't know about Xephyr. I tried with the command you suggested (changing resolution to fit my screen) but all I get is a black screen/window... am I doing something wrong? The window title says "ctrl+shift grabs mouse and keyboard" but I can't get that to happen, so I can't give any input to my nested X window...

Anyway thanks again, your help (and patience) is really appreciated ;) - Feb 03 2011
Elegant-EOS KDM theme

KDM4 Themes by jarod82 19 comments

I don't remember if I had to install some additional package to do this (I'm on Kubuntu Maverick) but in System Settings, under "System Management" I have an "Access screen" entry (names can be slightly different, my system is in Italian and I'm translating them in English by myself). With that module you can tweak the configuration on KDM and you have a pretty self-explanatory "Theme" tab ;) - Feb 03 2011

GlassMonitor - DynamicPartition

Karamba & Superkaramba by demitriusbelai 37 comments

The only complain I have (apart from missing top processes info) is that it displays RAM always almost maxed out, when I know it's not so (and Aero AIO displays it correctly). The same "bug" is present in lots of other karamba system monitors... can something be done about this? - Nov 12 2007

What about adding top processes information, like karamTop?

Can anyone create a Kubuntu (or generally deb) package? I tried to do it myself, but I'm not a capable packager and didn't succeed... I want to try this applet so badly! - Mar 10 2007

Would be great if you hadn't to retype your username at every reboot... oh, and more skins also! :D

For the rest, great theme... - Jan 27 2007

I like very much your button! Could you make a bigger version for the ones using kicker at its "normal" size (height 46 pizels)? - Jan 11 2006

You did a very good job, but i totally dislike gnome's approach, so i dislike your work also. Still, very well done. - Jan 03 2006

I like it! But it misses the useful countdown function from TooDoo to be perfect in both style and usefulness. - Nov 30 2005
