Darn. Saw the update for kmplayer today and it didn't do what I hoped it would. :/

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

if i had a wish free it would be that the live wallpapers wouldn't rape my cpu and drain my battery.
damn this falling rain looks so nice :(

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

How often are you sitting there looking at the desktop? Keep in mind the wallpaper only uses cpu while you are viewing it, any time its in the background it uses 0.

Hi.
Koss is rock.
He has applied my patch and has released new version of Kmplayer.

I've uploaded new adapted version of Livewallpaper (1.0.1) to extras-devel.

Changelog:

* Fixed problem with width of screen in theme 'Flash' (Thanks Koos)
* Fixed problems in theme 'Slideshow'
* Fixed problem with settings for theme "Flash"

Vlad.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

I also agree. Regardless, thanks for the very nice work.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

thanks for the new version, now the pictures in the slideshow mode are shown centered instead of left aligned.

Can I ask one thing now though, I'm using a Pleego theme (will probably happen with any theme) and in the space not filled by a photo (because it's not screen filling), I can see the original background peeping through.

Is it possible first to blacken the screen and then put the picture on it ? Now it's an overlay of the picture, over the 'normal' background image.

Thanks for the program and all effort so far. Loving it more and more ! :)
Actually I went for the new hilton desktop to allow more home screens so I could spread my icons out more and see more of the pictures :D

It's like a photo frame now (connected to the charger of course ...)

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

just tried v 1.0.1. working great! thanks for quick update!

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Great! Working perfectly now! :D

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Images in slideshow scaled (to 800x480) proportionally, therefore some images don't occupy full screen.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Hi, Last night I updated Live Wallpaper and it appears to have really
slowed down the n900 considerably. At times the screen was completely unresponsive
to the stylus and I had to reboot. I uninstalled Live Wallpaper and the n900 works normally
again. Any pointers on getting Live Wallpaper to work properly as I think it is very
nice to have? Thanks!

UPDATE: I reinstalled Live Wallpaper but not Xscreensavers for
Livewallpaper and it seems to run ok.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

can't install xscreensaver on N900 requires libxpm4 which isn't installable :-s,
i haven't looked too much into it yet tho but does anyone have the solution?

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Please show me output of command 'apt-cache policy libxpm4'
in xterm

Vlad.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

W: Unable to locate package libxpm

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

got it thanks :-D

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

hello, very nice aplication.
i would like to request a little thing for all the gurus of maemo
would be very dificult to create a live wallpaper like the wallpapers of the psp? i like the simplicity of the waves and to can select a diferent colour for each desktop would be very nice :)

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

This is lovely! I'm using the Matrix now! Thanks!

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

guys i am having a small problem with this awesome app, i'm using xscreensaver (wormewhole), and the wallpaper keeps playing even when i'm out of the homescreen (i can see it playing behind the apps menu, and the apps taskbar), and i can confirme that in conky (7-8 % of cpu usage for womewhole), but this only happens in homescreen 2-3-4-5- and 6, everything is normal in homescreen 1, and the wallpaper stops playing when i'm out of the homescreen .
anyone else having this problem ? please how to fix it ????

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Please forgive me if I'm just being stupid, but I did search for an answer to this question and couldn't find it. When I run conky as my wallpaper, not only will it not respect my custom conky.conf file, livewallpaper actually consistently over-writes my custom .conf file with a copy of the default .conf ! And I don't even understand where the default values are coming from, because I'm not finding any other conky.conf files anywhere else on the file system. This over-write behavior happens immidiately, if I touch the livewallpaper settings or if I reboot the device. It's like that .conf is hardcoded into the livewallpaper code, and step one is to immidiately force all configuration back to default (which kind of defeats one of the major points of conky if you ask me, or Linux for that matter). Surely I'm just missing something obvious. Please somebody tell me this is user error, and point out my mistake(s).

SOLVED:
I still don't know what the deal was with the version of Conky I got from the maemo repo, but the new version I got from this post: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=111 fixed my issue (and also fixes another known bug with earlier versions of conky when using the $$ syntax in the TEXT section of the .conf, which was another limitation I was struggling with)

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Found a bug using the flash as backgrounds. If you choose "one theme in all views" the background displays in all views but only is animated in the original view.

Any way to fix this?

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Hi guys.

I'm sorry. But I don't know how to fix this problem. Tell me your where I can get your video files for livewallpaper for test.

Vlad.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

I get video files from youtube and convert them using "Pazera Free FLV To AVI Converter 1.2" into avi files with bitrate=1200 fps=30 resolution:width=800 height=480, just what you have suggested in the past. Thx for your help.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

its the videos not the app !!



ooooohhhhh nice !!

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

I tried to use flash files as my livewallpaper but when I tried to save the settings once I chose the file under the flash theme, it tells me I haven't installed the flash package. It then asks me if I want to install the package through App. Manger and I press 'yes', n900 just said 'prepare to install, pls. wait' and nothing happen. What should I do? What packkage should I install? Can I install the package manually? Should the flash files that I want need to be in specific resolutions and setting?Thx in advance.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

You need to install package Kmplayer
