Other than JLPT level and display time, most of the options available for Kanjisaver aren't ones that can be neatly configured via commandline switches (colors and fonts especially), and none of them are currently accessible via commandline switches (since Kanjisaver, being a KScreensaver, uses KConfig to store its settings). > * Preview is not available in the xscreensaver-demo main window, > though fullscreen preview works I'm not sure how this is handled. > * Manual configuration file editing is needed > I suppose ideally it would just add itself to the set of offered > xscreensavers on install. I could create and include one of the XML files that xscreensaver-demo uses to pick what to show in its window, but that wouldn't fix most of these issues. The only "real" fix here would be, I think, to write a version of Kanjisaver that uses SDL/X/OpenGL to display itself and is controlled entirely by commandline switches, then create all of the config files that xscreensaver uses to pick up screensavers. I'm not hugely keen on doing that myself (especially since I don't think too much of xscreensaver in any case), but it wouldn't be too difficult, since the hardest part of writing Kanjisaver was making the file with all of the kanji info in it. Let me know if the XML file would be enough, or if you'd prefer another solution. -- Ryan Schultz "Rise above oneself and grasp the world." -- Archimedes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
