Hi folks, I have received a touchbook[1] 3 month ago, and I would like to do something with it. I have already installed angstrom on it with e17 and illume-home profile. It's running fine, and the composite manager looks good on top of the sgx gles graphic card.
But i'm not really satisfied with the current illume configuration. So i was wondering if some of you could answer some of my questions. - Is the launcher running with OpenGL-ES acceleration ? I have check a bit in the source code, and it seems that is build in a e17 module and is dependan of the configuration of the E engine, so could only be x11 of xrender if i'm not mistaken. Do you know if OpenGLES acceleration is interesting or you are considering that software is enough for this task. The processor of the touchbook is an ARM Omap3 running at 600Mhz? - If i want developed a new launcher from scratch, with elm for example, how could i do to integrate it on the desktop exactly how the illume launcher does ? Should i develop an e module, or could i develop an independant Elm application ? - About the soft-key module, according to the name, it seems that it's a software shortcut for hardware keys, on the touchbook I have a specific key, how could i mapped it to have the same actions than the back key for example ? - I would like to add a shelf with an ibox containing shortcut of applications. How could i do to have this shelf always behind the new windows, but that his layout is taken into account on the desktop ? ie the launcher is not covered by this shelf. - More generic question but maybe stupid as i'm really noobs in e modules, is it possible to create elementary windows in an E module ? - Which .desktop applications are used to populate the current launcher ? Currently i have some .desktop added on my pc, but none on the touchbook. - in Elementary there is some api about a quickpanel. What it is for ? Where could i found documentation or example about how to use it ? - There is also some API in Ecore_X specific for illume, what it is for ? Sorry for the long list of question, but i'm curious today :) thanks, Nico [1] http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/touchbook/info.htm -- Nicolas Aguirre Mail: aguirre.nico...@gmail.com Web: http://www.digital-corner.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
