Hi, just to say that I get my hand on my old code and was able to run xfce4-panel on directfb once again! I also made a screenshot, and I think I would make a page on the directfb wiki (here is the link: http://www.directfb.org/wiki/index.php/DFB_panel). I will also put the code, is some wants to have a look. But anyway, don't forget that this is more something like a 'proof of concept' or 'proof of feasability' than anything else, since it's based on quite old code and is also quite buggy. Fell free to have a look, bountykiller. Note: I cc the directfb and xfce ML since some can be interested in that. > Hi Nicolas, > > Thanks for responding. > > It would be good to have a panel that is pure DirectFB especially for > embedded devices, phones,PDAs and the like.It think it's only been > about 6 months or so since DirectFB has started becoming more > "usable" (if you could call it that) and I suppose people are going > to start looking at a pure DirectFB desktop soon. > You seem to be the only one who has actually tried porting any panel > to DirectFB.I didn't want to reinvent the wheel if the code was lying > around somewhere , so I asked. :). > > It would be great if you could find the code :) > > Thanks > -- Pradosh Adoni > > On Wed, 2006-10-25 at 19:16 +0200, Nicolas Masse wrote: > > Le mercredi 25 octobre 2006 à 13:11 +0530, Pradosh Adoni a écrit : > > > Hi, > > > > > > I came across your post on the directfb-dev archives regarding the > > > xfce-panel on directfb. > > > I'm interested in a (minimally) functional panel for DirectFB. > > > Have you released the port anywhere under GPL by any chance ? > > > > > > Apologies for being so curt. > > > > > > Thanks and Regards, > > > Pradosh Adoni > > hmm, well, it's a quite old post... > > No, I didn't release anything under GPL.
