|
|
Ladies & Gentlemen, Boys & Girls, I give you, xcompmgr, the remix.
After deciding within 10 minutes of installing xcompmgr that the shadows were simply too big, I got to looking for patches for xcompmgr.
After some research, I found most of the patches just changed some #DEFINEs and such, so I got to hacking on xcompmgr, and now we have this:
Code: | usage: xcompmgr [-d display] [-n] [-s] [-c] [-a]
--trans-opacity 0..100 how opaic the shadows are of transparent windows (75)
--shadow-radius radius of the shadows (12)
--shadow-opacity 0..100 opaicity of the shadows (75)
--shadow-offset-x, --shadow-offset-y
to get 0x0 offset, set:
shadow-offset-[xy] = -(1.5xshadow-radius)
|
I personally call it with like so:
Code: | xcompmgr -c --shadow-radius 6 --shadow-offset-x -9 --shadow-offset-y -9 |
and it looks like this:

ebuild + stuff availble here:
http://dialbox.no-ip.org/gentoo/xcompmgr.tar.bz2
and from here: (much faster, thanks to furiorc)
http://fisknet.no-ip.com/osd/
Note:
I've only really tested these changes when calling xcompmgr with -c, so if you dont use -c, and use this xcompmgr, your dog might have kittens, and I wont take responsibility for it _________________ I'm not addicted, I just can't stop.

20-30 MBit downstream / >10 MBit upstream for something like <20$
I do love sweden ^^
I can put up a european mirror on a computer here, just say the word (and send the files ^^) _________________ Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. |

why don't use CVS version???
Code: |
xcompmgr v1.1
usage: xcompmgr [options]
Options
-d display
Specifies which display should be managed.
-r radius
Specifies the blur radius for client-side shadows. (default 12)
-o opacity
Specifies the translucency for client-side shadows. (default .75)
-l left-offset
Specifies the left offset for client-side shadows. (default -15)
-t top-offset
Specifies the top offset for clinet-side shadows. (default -15)
-I fade-in-step
Specifies the opacity change between steps while fading in. (default 0.028)
-O fade-out-step
Specifies the opacity change between steps while fading out. (default 0.03)
-D fade-delta-time
Specifies the time between steps in a fade in milliseconds. (default 10)
-a
Use automatic server-side compositing. Faster, but no special effects.
-c
Draw client-side shadows with fuzzy edges.
-C
Avoid drawing shadows on dock/panel windows.
-f
Fade windows in/out when opening/closing.

Well, I'm sorry to make this little offtopic foray, but... that price, those figures? Is seems almost impossible to me, stuck with pretty much the same bandwidth pppZero has
I'd love Sweden too! I'm blonde, so I guess I'd just do my best to fit, do I have a chance if I am really polite and say I want to be a refugee because of low bandwidth persecution? _________________ O make me a mask! |
