Re: live wallaper
 

how do you close xsnow !!??

Re: live wallaper
 

type killall xsnow in terminal

Re: live wallaper
 

Yes. You have to go into the Live Wallpaper settings and click Save to get Matrix back.

Re: live wallaper
 

I did but now way to get it back after reboot...
Does it work on your end???

Re: live wallaper

Re: live wallaper
 

aha..from dubai are you :P.

Re: live wallaper
 

@Mangal: sure am =)

Re: live wallaper
 

I skimed through this thread, and didn't see what kind of file is used on the wallpaper. So If I wanted to make my own I could. Or do we just send you Ideas and wait for them?

Re: live wallaper
 

backreading this is something i was suppoed to ask maemo.org :D

Re: live wallaper
 

the live background is a tweak to existing desktop widget code.
ie, if you have already written a fremantle widget, it should be adjustable to work as a background.
grab the source of one of the existing live backgrounds and see if you can understand it yourself, if you can then you aren't waiting any longer..

Re: live wallaper
 

BTW, that Super Mario thing is very easy. It is just a simple video of a speedrun of Super Mario.

Anyways, Its sad to see that this hasnt progressed much. Things IMO that are missing:

* Video support
* Weather/time interactive (You see a city as the background and as real time progresses, the sun/moon moves with daylight and nighttime coming into play and if it is really raining in your city, it will start to rain in the background. Also things like the forth of July, you see fireworks, etc)
* More than 1 wallpaper for multiple desktops (can be expanded to the above idea as multiple time zones/cities)

Re: live wallaper
 

Maybe the developer has a life besides the N900?
Just my 2 cents....

Re: live wallaper
 

And because of that we cant be sad that it hasnt progressed?

We arent mad at the developer just sad it hasnt progressed.

Re: live wallaper
 

would he change his mind if we THANKED him :P?
guys if you read this, just take some time to thank him!

Re: live wallaper
 

I dont think so. If he isnt intrested in the project any more, thats it.


Another feature this would need is random wallpapers on every startup or every x minutes.

All the features Ive posted exclude thinking of the battery life.

Re: live wallaper
 

Version 0.6 of LiveWallpaper coming soon.

Vlad.

Re: live wallaper
 

Thank you for becoming reinterested in the project. We need more devs like yourself.

Re: live wallaper
 

We have released new version of LiveWallpaper - 0.6.

This version has only one important feature - "Possibility to use all displays for show of animated wallpaper"


Vlad & Tanya

Re: live wallaper
 

I know we have live wallpaper ala city scenes and xsnow, but I have also been talking to the devs who implemented the live wallpaper support and got a few hints for prospective devs:

we need to organise packaging really to make this a fully usable core example for others to base their designs off.

vlad,
hope you are well and the heatwave isn't getting you too much ;)

are you having any implementation issues which we could need to address, please do not hesitate to file bugs and mail me about them, we can discuss how to handle them with you :)

I have heard that other live-bg items may be in the pipeline too, so the smoother and more integrated we can get this, the better.

\o

ps, we should really sort out the first post on this thread and centralise the information currently pushed into this thread in a single wiki page/concise first post.
if we do make a wiki, can a moderator perhaps amend the first post to highlight this to save people digging through pages of info?

Re: live wallaper
 

I'll try to sum up the info.

Re: live wallaper
 

Thanks Lcuk.
I didn't know about xsnow and about example in hilson-desktop sources.
We will examine it.

Vlad.

Re: live wallaper
 

Great to see that this isnt dead and further work is being done.

Thanks to everyone for the work :)

Re: live wallaper
 

Hi All.
Mustali Dalal has founded the serious bug of LiveWallpaper. http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...wallpaper/0.6/
I have fixed this problem in version 0.6.1. Please test it.


Vlad.

Re: live wallaper
 

Hi Vlad,

since the last update my battery is draining when the phone is offline during the night.
I haven't installed anything new but just enabled the other 3 screens with the live wallpaper!
Can it be that screen 2, 3 and 4 is causing the drainage?

Re: live wallaper
 

Hmm. This is interesting. I'm going to check it tonight.

Vlad.

Re: live wallaper
 

No....
Just enabled the first screen and still a drainage...
maybe the app itself is eating my battery ???

Re: live wallaper
 

Thanks for feedback.
I have found the source of this problem and have relesead version 0.6.2
Please test it.

Please reboot your device after update.

Vlad.

Re: live wallaper
 

Fixed on my end....
Cheers Vlad

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread

Vlad and Tanya.

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Hi!
I have this problem. I installed latest version of Live Wallpaper, 0.6.2, from extras-devel. Now I remove it. Of course I did the necessary reboots. Now every time i go to settings menu, when the applet is opening I see the Live Wallpaper configutation menu, than is gone. Annoyng! Please help me to remove this! I think not all the files were correctly uninstalled. I attached two screenshot to see.

Thanks!

Re: Live Wallpaper discussion thread
 

Rebuild Settings Menu / Cache

Delete the file
/home/user/.cache/launch/com.nokia.controlpanel.pvr
and reboot.
