A new "stars" background. Yes it looks like Fedora 7 ( the first version of linux I used and I loved it )

background came from here:

Looks like I will need to put the themes/backgrounds work on hold for a few days. Rasterman released the newest snapshot of e17 today .49539 big jump from .063. We will see how it goes.....

I hate Lua , I really do.....

[joel]

I cant wait to see what new features/addons/enhancements the new snapshot contains.

[runtt21]

OK I got it all compiled.Testing starts tomorrow.I haven't run e yet ,i have been fighting with Lua all day. Raster said he uses the one from the debain repos .So i deleted the version I got from the Lua web site and install the debian one and it worked. But I wont know if it is stable till tomorrow.I did run elementary and it is so cool now .I really need to learn how to use it.I could replace plogout with something cool.

I have uploaded the fedorastars.tar.gz to my macpup page . Enjoy !!

I have been playing with the new build of e17 for a while now and I have some good news and some really bad news.

I have seen this a lot:



If you use the e17 file manager and go more that 3 folders deep it
will crash ( I guess cause it opens a a new window for each level
down you go).

If you go through the application menus it will crash.

When you try to add stuff to the ibar by right clicking and selecting add app it will crash. If you go into the setting panel and select ibar applications it will crash all the way back to the CLI The only way to add stuff to the ibar is to put the .desktop files in
/root/.local and then edit the config file for the ibar in
.e/e/applications/bar . But using the stuff i put on the ibar,changing their icons or moving them around is fine .

I have it set up know to where I could use it for my personal system but until i can find out how to stabilize it I cant build a macpup out of it. So we may be stuck with .061 for a while longer, sorry . It's really frustrating cause this built has some really cool stuff !!!! And I want you to see it.....

[runtt21]

I Have built more than 30 of the extra modules for it and they have all compiled and run well.....

THE BATTERY MODULE WORKS LIKE IT IS SUPPOSE TO !!!!!

And I can run itask-NG without Xorg or a composite engine !!!! Bite Me COMPIZ

[runtt21]

And I can finally run the "everything" module. And when they named it "everything" they where almost right.

This shots shows "all" the stuff you have used lately .



You have access to all your file from it....



You have access to all your apps , it will show you your most used first and then you can type a few letters of the app you want .



Access to all of your e17 settings .



You can even look up stuff on Google or wikipedia or youtube .



But you cant see the page from its window.I wish I could set it up to call the default browser.That would be so cool .

Everything also has plugins for running vlc and chat clients..

[joel]

so freaking excited for it. god, make it work!

[runtt21]

OK I found it , "everything " is set up to call firefox.I got it to call opera and it opens with a new tab set to the address from /tmp but it wont open it .So I guess i will install firefox and see..... It also needs mplayer and another plugin to play or download youtube videos. May try that to.

[runtt21]

Dressed it up a little ( I will be releasing this theme later,Agust made it )

[runtt21]

Ok , I tried it again. First I installed firefox 3.6 .Then re configed "everything" to use it . Open "everything" selected google and.....




Double clicked on macpup screenshots and.....



It worked. If I selected macpup or macpup review it gave me the top ranked site.I did this a bunch of time and e did crash on me once so still a lot to fix BUT......
