Or if you could use your own videofiles as background...

well i mean i fill my BG with widgets shortcuts etc, i wouldnt be able to see this, and i wouldnt use either of those themes btw sorry, just MHO

This is why I suggested in Brainstorm a few months ago that someone write a program that toggles off or on all icons at once on the desktops so we can gaze at our beautiful backgrounds.

Remember that we can theoretically have up to nine desktops. I'd like to watch that train running thru all of them!

Coming soon. It's almost done. Problem with showing buttons of applet 'close' and 'settings' above Matrix.

Re: live wallaper
 
this looks fantastic!

what about cpu-load? does it generate a lot of system load (hence affecting battery life)?

and how is it done? is it displaying a flash-applet in background or just rapidly changing pictures?

is it possible that it will at some time display random letters instead of showing the same letters in every column?

Switching tasks is now very slow as it brings the live wallpaper back into focus.
As soon as I installed it the theme was applied and there were no extra menu options to change the theme let alone turn it off.
I had to deinstall it and then it stopped.
A nice idea, but after 2 days I've seen enough of it. It's just a little bit too heavy on the performance and kills overal UI responsiveness.

Didnt see that myself - the app can be configured just like any other widget. Bottom right hand corner there is a little settings icon.

Re: live wallaper
 
Vasvlad my boy....
You have done a great job....

matrix looks smashing....

1. Will this a battery eater or not?
2. And how to set it off?
3. Icon in menu won't work (only in settings)
4. without rich animation the Matrix won't work

Tip:

The screen animation after the screenlock will become active.

nath 2010-04-26 09:24

Re: live wallaper
 
Thanks for the new version.

Without rich animation, after each screenlock the Matrix will have moved one step forwards. Only with rich animation it works as expected, but I guess that uses more power?

1. LiveWallpaper eats a battery only in active mode.
2. Click into right corner of display in Desktop Edit Mode
3. I'm sorry. I forgot to remove this icon from the package. I will fix it today.
4. Yes. This is right behavior

We will redesign the behavior in Matrix theme when "rich animation" is off. Matrix will not move.

It will be done in version 0.4.1 today.

I can't find the new version and application manager also doesn't

Re: live wallaper
 
I just installed the .deb directly from:
https://garage.maemo.org/frs/downloa..._0.4_armel.deb

It's shows under a "dpkg -l" output to be version 0.4, however when I run it and click on the "About" button it reads as version 0.2 and has none of the 0.4 feature enhancements.

cddiede 2010-04-26 16:37

Re: live wallaper
 
Ok, I just found the optional theme options under the settings application's Live Wallpaper sub-menu.

So I do see the updated themes and they work, but the app still reports it's version as 0.2 instead of 0.4 and in the widgets settings there are only the two original themes.

Just notices a very tiny small text like place in the right bottom corner.
The left one is to get in the app settings and the right one to close..
After I close it, no way of getting it back and running..
Can't you add an active and non-active tick option in settings?

@cddiede:

The last version installed from the get go for me...
No need for dpkg -i command.
I have 3 themes as an option (Berlin, Modern and Matrix).

You can activate the widget using item of menu "Add widget". We are going to make this option in version 0.5

Guys, do I just go for ".deb" file or...what's that "tar.gz" thing anyway?

rolan900d 2010-04-27 06:05

Re: live wallaper
 
Just go for the deb!
But you can get it from application manager as well.....
If you have the extras catolgue enabled

remember:

it has no icon but quick start in settings

Re: live wallaper
 
I'm really loving this application. But I can't find a Vote link for it on the garage page:
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...llpaper/0.4.2/

Where can I vote this up? I see some votes down for it where people complain that it shouldn't go into Extras because it runs down your battery.

What a load. It's not a malfunction when a graphically intensive app uses up battery power, I mean what the hell do they expect?

Also, I see down votes due to the voter's personal taste in the default wallpapers. Again, total crap. Personal aesthetics have no bearing on the functionality that htis app offers.

If an app is broken or harmful, then vote it down, but just because it's not an app that you may choose to install on your N900, don't rob other people the chance to try it by voting to keep it out of the Extras repository!!!
