For all of you that like desktop effect ala compiz there is a good news.
I make some works on the old bang module, if you don't know bang is a
compiz derivate packed in e module. So a module that do composite using
OpenGL. :)
There is also the scale plugin (automatically loaded) that do the famous
exposè effect ... yes it works :)
For now you can only activate / disactivate it from keyb (can't select
the window with the mouse). First I want to fix well the core.
I have redone pratically all the source (apart the core components),
this is a brief list of changes:
- remove all wm code
- remove own configuration system (e do it better)
- remove own event-grabbing system (you can now set bindings directly
from e keybinding config.
- redone plugins load/unload
- fix event loop (removed it in real)
- some fix at the scale plugin (need more work)
- some efl formatting
- surly other thing ...
It works well on my machine, but need to test on different hw and
different e configuration.
This is unresolved (for now) issue:
1. Shelf if placed over the other window make some strange thing,
here it start working after 30 seconds. ??
2. The module is delayed because if not all the popup windows stay
under the others (both e menus and applications menu). We need to solve
this first as if module is not delayed
shelf also work well ... solving prob 2 also solv 1 ;)
3. The window-geometry rect conflict. You must disable it.
4. When window appear the border is draw with trash (usualy black)
for a fraction of second. Probably the window is showed too early.
5. If you start the module 2 times (without an e restart in between)
your xsession will badly crash :(
...and at the end heres the link:
http://www.gurumeditation.it/files/bang-0.0.16.tar.gz
To use the scale plugin you must first set up a keybinding for it, use
the normal e keybinding config. And remember to disable
"window-coordinate-on-move-rectangle"
Hope that someone else wants (have time) to contribute on this
project...maybe for this first 5 bugs.
Bye
Dave
