everyone else: this was just for some lazy hour and playing around with kdialog, i'd personally never click through dialogs instead of ./configure; make; make install ;) -* (overall) bugfix: included 0.6b fixes -* (style) feature: because i was in some kind of nostalgic mood, i added jaguar (liquidlike) buttons. also as jaguar used darker stipples if and only if you use the bab dcop starter or predefinitions, using jaguar will lead to darker stipples (+4 to your default) -* (style) note: this leads to new (consistent) settings: "0" is jaguar in style and deco, so calling -dcop bab default start kcalc 0 0 -will bring you a jaguar kcalc -dcop bab default start kcalc 1 2 -will instead bring you panther kcakc with a b/m deco -THIS HAS ALSO IMPACT ON THE PREDEFINITIONS! -You can either update them by hand or ONCE(!) call ./updatePredefs from the baghira topsrc dir -* (style) update: better handling for icons on buttons -* (style) update: improved editlines (thanks to Gav Wood for suggestion) -* (config) bugfix: writing valid value for visible toolbuttons -* (config) update: added option to replace kickers menu applet -* (deco) update: removed left/right side lines if not using comicframe (looked as if the deco was smaller than the window) -* (deco) update: corrected appereance of the left/right b/m resize handles -* (kickermenu) bugfix: kde3.4 support - i don't know if it will still work correctly with kde3.3 -* (starter) new: i was sucked by kickers startbutton displaying the tooltip on hover, so i wrote a kickerapplet as startmenubutton replacement. you can use any png as button. -name them bStarter.png, bStarter_hover.png, bStarter_down.png, and settle them in 22x22/action - defaults are included -as i don't have such nice access on the startmenu as the button has, its not possible to close the menu by clicking again _AFFTER_ you left the button once, also the default KDE binding to the startmenu (alt+f1, windows key) will display the menu in the screen center instead below the (nonexistent) button + CONTRIBUTING +============== -0.6b ----- -* (style) feature: animated pushbuttons -* (style) bugfix: konqueror crashes on repolishes -* (style) update: improved the look of (colored) iTunes (rectangular) buttons -* (configuration) feature: look predefinition for each application (deco needs kde 3.4b1 and up to work) -* (configuration) bugfix: skipped various unnecessary repolishes -* (bab) update: rewrote the way design switching stuff according to kde 3.4, removed all imperfect workaround stuff -> works much better, but needs kde 3.4 to work properly -* (kickermenu) update: using XClassHint to display the appname (better than relying on the netwm info) -* (kickermenu) update: using app menu instead of desktop menu for modal dialogs -* (kickermenu) note: kicker from kde 3.4 has a special menupanel that autoloads the kicker menuapplet to display the menu. you can remove this menu and readd the baghiramenu, but you'll have to do that after every kde start. -> open [kdeprefix - e.g. usr]/share/apps/kicker/applets/menuapplet.desktop, change "X-TDE-Library=menu_panelapplet" to "X-TDE-Library=b_menu_panelapplet" or (as root) run the following script (simply using sed to update the file): ---------------------start--------------- -#!/bin/sh -sed s/"X-TDE-Library=menu_panelapplet"/"X-TDE-Library=b_menu_panelapplet"/g $(tde-config --prefix)/share/apps/kicker/applets/menuapplet.desktop > _baghirabuffer_ -rm -f $(tde-config --prefix)/share/apps/kicker/applets/menuapplet.desktop -mv _baghirabuffer_ $(tde-config --prefix)/share/apps/kicker/applets/menuapplet.desktop ----------------------end---------------- +If you wish to contribute to tde-style-baghira, you might do so: -0.6a ----- -* (style) serious bugfix: drawing groupbox frames on non groupboxes -* (style) bugfix: popup menu painting -* (style) bugfix: handles ksplash and kontact splash problem -* (configuration) bugfix: resetting settings -* (configuration) feature: save/restore settings to/from file -* (icons) update: copyright notice -* (general) bugfix: big endian (ppc/sparc) architecture support -* (general) bugfix: openBSD support (thanks to Damir Naden) +- TDE Gitea Workspace (TGW) collaboration tool. + https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea - -0.6 ---- -* stripped all fake translucency/shadows code, honoring the fact x.org 6.8 now supports true alpha handling -* fixed OOo error (stupid one, btw. - only had to see it :) -* tricked OOo to get background colored menubar/menus and keep nice button colors -* better support for OOo scrollbars (allways displayd as active, as OOo does not support the MousOver effect) -* better animation code - cpu hunger of some apps should be gone -* completely new settings handling to avoid conflicts of concurring file accesses - unfortunately you'll have to recreate all your settings :( - - -0.5f ----- -bugfix release only -bab started apps shouldn't hang -konqueror shouldn't crash, NOTICE: -the error occured, when updating the palette (applying a new background) to the toolbuttons (seems to be some very specific ones), -please don't ask me why this worked before - i don't know (but i think it's related to the redesign of the eventhandler which now responds much faster) -so the only solution i found was to disable the palette update for the toolbuttons, therefore you should display the inactive toolbuttons for b/m (e.g. by applying "brushed metal" or "both" in the last bab setting) - -0.5e ----- -style: -- fixed the "tde toolbar widget" thing (location bar/juk slider etc.) -- worked around brushed metal kicker translucency support -- changed the appereance of the kicker executor (like konqueror combobox) -- worked around konqueror statusbar offset -- flattened statusbars in genereal -bab: -- most important change: - bab supports a new dcop command to start applications with individual style settings, so - dcop bab babInterface start konqueror 1 2 - will open konqueror b/m - the first argument is the command you want to execute. - if you want to use switches, use "" to combine them, i.e. - dcop bab babInterface start "konqueror --profile webbrowsing --caption Safari" 1 2 - will start konqueror, b/m mode, show the about screen and renames the title to "Safari" - unfortunately the command may not contain a '"' or blanks, so if your app is named "kde application" you will not be able to pass it to bab, maybe i'll implement support for escape chars (\) if there's demand in the future. - the first digit addresses the style (so '0' means aqua, '1' means b/m) the second one the deco (predefined deco 0/1/2) - in addition there's a second command - dcop bab babInterface start xterm 0 - only differing by the fact it only changes the deco design. - USE THIS ONE FOR NONE KDE APPS (i.e. everything that doesn't get styled by baghira) as the other function won't be able to reset the settings for style and deco. - The good thing about this: - 1. You don't have to run complex scripts (maybe just check if dcop is running), bab does all for you - 2. bab does not reset the settings until the app read them - so you will get style and deco you wanted - The "bad" thing: - Though much better than the solution before, this is not process relative, i.e.: - - start an app with long startup time (e.g. juk) - - start another app with short startup time directly after starting juk - the startups will interfere (i.e. the fast app will change the settings and the slow app will get uncertain settings) -- just for cute... bab now "shapes" the upper corners of your screen (so any kickerbar there will be rounded as well:), but don't ask me about the perverse way i found to do so... ;) - -0.5d ----- -- completely remodeled the eventfilter -> faster! (reload the library) -- added some colored throbbers and an xcf so you can create your own colors -- sorting headers appear colored -- put the menuapplet into its own library, so it won't conflict with the kde one and is installed by default -- corrected twin (stippled) frame to align the style -- corercted brushed toolbars (disalignment) - -0.5c ----- -Added a patched version of the kicker menu applet, main difference: -shows current window name left of the menu (you can also click this indicator to get a windowlist, as the menu takes space that's usually used for the taskbar) -*** THIS MENU APPLET WOULD REPLACE THE ORIGINAL ONE, THEREFORE IT'S NOT AUTOINSTALLED *** -to install it with baghira, edit the "subdirs" file and remove the "#" in front of "kickermenu" _before_ (!!!) ./configure - -*** KAnimWidget (Throbbers) now usefully support translucent pixmaps, so the throbber is now translucent (and i removed the ugly frame :) *** -anyway, i don't know since which version this holds, therefore maybe you want to keep the old throbber to prevent uncleaned repaints -(if someone wants to create the nice iTunes throbber - hey thanks, i don't have iTunes) - -Mainly kde3.3 alignments -- fixed juk toolbar stuff (and any other) -- fixed new twin buttons -- toplevelmenubars are not set to stipples anymore, honoring the fact, that the kicker menuapplet recolors them itself to kicker background -- arrows will are dark grey rather than black - makes them appear more smooth - -- remodelled the include structure -- fixed repolishment errors -- fixed taskbar -- deco can be set to have a frame in maximized mode as well -- toolbuttons are not connected, if inactive toolbuttons are not shown - -0.5b ----- -Style: -- code improvements: should give some overall speed, closed a slight memory leak (lists of pointers in b/m mode) -- rewrote the groupbox code -> 1. faster, 2. aligned stipples -- combos on toolbars (konqueror :) look like the safari combo -- changed the appereance of inactive sliders (no bubbles) -- did anyone notice, i changed the stiopples again (figured out that apple uses bright-mid-dark-mid, while mosfet's stipple were dark-dark-bright-bright) - imho this leads to better readable text -- corrected alignment of left side tile in b/m mode -- handled amaroK in b/m mode - -Deco: -- added option to auto add spycing between buttons (making use of the kde spacing leads to unhappy effects, i the window misses a button (e.g. minimize in baghira help)) -- corrected alignment of left side tile in b/m mode - -Bab: -- fixed some saving issues - -Goodies: -The stuff in this folder is not autoinstalled. -Look into it and use whatever you want, however you want (except claiming cr and suing me for nonliterally copying ;) -- added new stuff: bootsplash, konqui tile, tdm picture, lilo-bootscreen -*** read the readme! *** - -0.5a ----- -- BUGFIX (style): konqueror address label -- BUGFIX (style): tab hovering for b/m -- WORKAROUND (style) kiconedit crashes on startup (notice that this error lies in kiconedit and the workaround will be removed as soon as kiconedit is fixed) -- (style) corrected size of the add/remove tab buttons (prevetning from overlaying the tabs) -- (deco): slightly modified coloring function (light dots on button top) - - -0.5 ---- -STYLE -===== -- well, light gradient, right ;) -- highlight color appears as gradient -- TOPLEVEL (mac like) MENUABRS (read this): - The light gradient causes (of course) some trouble on the top level menubars, as the gradient is arranged to the corresponding application window - not to kicker. - As there was interference with the stipples, when using e.g. toplevel brushed metal menus embedded into aqua style kicker, i decided to force toplevel menubars appearing in aqua mode (stippled) assuming you're using an aqua like kicker. this will cause problems if you're using b/m kicker. in this case, i suggest to avoid toplevel menus to get a consistent look (while using auqa mode kicker is preferred) - -DECO -==== -- new brushed style/removed flat brushed -- BUGFIX: bottombar draws void -- some graphical adjustments, corresponding to the brushed metal stuff -- buttons masked on brushed metal design - -ICONS -===== -- new license, read "readme.copyright" - - -0.4d ----- -- several bugfixes, notable: - 1. kicker children appear brushed metaled (if wished), thanks to A. Quincey - 2. that bookmark button thing... - please notice, that this could not really be fixed (the kbookmarkbar somehow accesses the toolbar iterator while i'm using it to check the toolbar layout - what confuses both of us) but i excluded the bookmarkbar by it's name (that could easily differ in other kde versions) and assume it's structure (bunch of combined buttons - no breaks / spacers) - 3. Corrected listviewheader hovering behaviour (wasn't that hard, after all...) -- highlights of this version (gee... what a shameless self promotion :) - 1. configurable deco button colors (added support for kde 3.3 buttons, well - hopefully, as i couldn't test yet) - 2. tabs hover on mouseover - 3. (round) iTunes like rectangular buttons - -0.4c ----- -- (hopefully) fixed compiler stuff - code cleanup: later -- redesigned the dialogs for the windeco 1024x768 compatible now (allmost 800x600 :) -- fixed the toolbutton stuff -- removed any listviewheader correction as this caused more problems that it could ever solve (if you worry about listviews, having too short headers and therefore paint void areas - complain to the appropriate author) - -0.4b ------ -code should be more iso-cpp compatible (especially the preprocessor stuff (#include/#define)) -it compiles nice on gcc-3.4.1, i have no idea about gcc-3.4.0 - -STYLE -===== -- (initial support) of conjuncted toolbuttons (use smooth tool for best effect) - restrictions: - o only works with kde toolbars (not on toolbars in plain qt applications, e.g. qt-designer) - o only works when the kde toolbar uses kde toolbarbuttons (rather than qt toolbuttons) - most kde applications do, well - some do not (you'll see) - -DECO -==== -- includes version that was meant for 0.4a (see changelog for this version) -- addidionally you can choose individual decos (_not_ buttons) for active and inactive windows - - -0.4a ------ -fixed the and cleant up the makefiles - maybe you've got some useless stuff (menuentries, icons) in your system due to old releases -call ./cleanMySystem /<prefix> from the baghira topdir if you wish to delete them (if you're paraniod, you can use this script as help for deleting them by hand as well) -where <prefix> is the prefix you gave when configuring baghira - -STYLE -===== -- fixed some graphical errors (toolbar stuff etc) -- it's now possible to tint the brushed metal style (autoapplied to the the deco as well) -- tricked back the konqueror statusbar (gee.., we don't like to be recolored, right?) -- found a (hopefully) better solution for the listviewheaders (setting only too small ones to be expanded) - -DECO -==== -- fixed (and improved :) frame painting -- new deco "glossy" using the aquarius coloring function - -CONFIG -====== -- added color picker for the aquarius function - *notice* this is only a _color picker_ - to not mess up with your color scheme arrangement, it will not touch the current color settings - -0.4 (finally :) ----------------- -YOU WILL NEED KDE 3.2 TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPILE THIS PACKAGE ! -Though i applied all kindly provided gcc-3.4 patches, i yet did not install this compiler, so i don't guarantee it will work, patched versions of gcc-3.3 (gcc-3.3-x) may also fail - -STYLE -===== -- new coloring function "Aquarius" - replacing the "icy" style. - as the two functions are incompatible on pixmap layer, there's no way back - sorry -- ended the stipple experiment -- fixed some stuff (missing pixel on tabs, tabclosebutton position, ... whatever (more stuff i forgot - test if your main issue is fixed and complain if not :P )) -- improved scrollbar animation code, fixed the juk problem as side effect. the deactivation is yet not functional (forgot to implement) expect for 0.4a -- improved the popuptranslucency for menubars - as a sideefeect, the dynamic offscreen buffer (to prevent artefacts) now works on toplevel menus (macstyle menus) - -DECO -==== -- now shipped with package :P -- better 3D effect for the title (dark/bright offset like Apple does, to provide distinction from any background) -- comic frame in titleblend color (right, resp. bottom color) -- complete change of big bottom bar - change to 6px thick bar to only provide shaped framing -- fixed several issues with the frame size (eg. width on maximized windows) - -BAB -=== -- bab now also provides dcop acces to the windeco style - -CONFIG DIALOG -============= -- completely new, though tested, some settings could have unexpected results (i couldn't really test everything), please notice if you find something (besides deactivation of scrollbar animation - see above) -- attaches to the style dialog -- the old dialog remains in system unless you remove it by hand (look for "kcm_kcmbaghira.la", "kcm_kcmbaghira.so" in $(PREFIX)/lib/kde3/ and "kcmbaghira.desktop" in $(PREFIX)/share/applnk/Settings/LookNFeel) -- test the about dialog =) -- click help -- more intuitive interface with a later release (setting dependend deactivation of widgets, etc.) - -COLORSCHEMES -============ -Christian Lehmann provided two new Colorschemes for the new function, AquaBlue and AquaGraphite - they're auto installed -as starting point, you could try rgb = 84,140,242 for the button - avoid very low or very high saturated color (result is uncolored/flat colored) - -ICONS -===== -Due to massive request (protest?) the icons for bab and the black and blue paw are installed to your system... NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THAT, PLEASE... -The throbber is _not_ installed (sorry, but this would be much too invasive) - if you want it, copy it by hand - -SCRIPTS -======= -- added a script terminal to roughly show bab/dcop/windeco functionality (the script uses sleep - if it does not work on your system, use kstart similar to the other sripts and remove the sleep call) -- scripts are not installed, as they're just examples - -FINAL WORDS -=========== -haha...! i even had some letters left ;) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=================================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -0.3s -- tweaked several graphics - o i was annoyed by the raised panels in knetscan, so i forced panels to appear sunken, similar to the editframes - o changed appereance of the toolbarhandlers (the old where too loud) - o fixed bug on splitters (well, somehow - obviously noone cares about the direction flag) - o fixed "bug" that lead to black frames under combos in some apps (e.g. amaroK) -- bugfixed the setting stuff (misdisplayd groupboxes, ability to unset shadows under popups...) -- Tab vs. Chooser is now optional - o the default setting is somewhat clever, i.e. if the toplevel widget is a dialog, tabs appear as choosers, as oldstyle tabs elsewise - -> result: apps like konqueror, tdevelop, quanta, konsole... will show tabs, dialogs will show choosers - o you can define the tab behaviour for aqua and brushed metal individually in the bab menu -- fixed menu animation stuff -- fixed bookmark menu behaviour (so could have told me...) -- fixed toolbutton repolishment -- "--enable-final" should work again -- bab: - o added a dropdownmenu (rightclick), currently mainly to allow you to set a default style (so you don't have to care about the setting when shutting down kde) -- lightweightened the stipples (more aqua like) and improved alignment (!you do not need to set the align stipples checkbox - it's useless!) -- new icons, created by timur ((c) 2004 TKdesign-studio.com. All rights reserved.) - -- ppc users: i added an endian definition to baghira.h - try to set it to big endian (but i don't know if it'll help) - -0.3r -- scrollbars: - o no useless sliders are drawn - o code should be faster now -- changed the tabbars to look like apples chooser widgets (button tabs) - this is a bit hackish, as qt doesn't know choosers - i don't knwow if i can easily make this optional, so i'll probably rely on reactions... -- went through the polishment code, uhmmm... that was really necessary -- option to brush me... - -0.3q -- new arrows on scrollbars + combos (thanks to Narcis Tesa for providing the pix) -- added option to fade in popup menus (works with translucency) -- Tabbar Bases will follow tabs colors :) - -0.3p -- redesigned groupboxes (twice as fast :) -- corrected wrongly shadowed widgets (flat groupboxes) -- redesigned scrollbars - -0.3o -- IMPROVED MEMORY MANAGEMENT - menus won't eat your memory anymore -- fixed bugs that may have caused crashes on some systems -- thanks to "mbllos" for some code optimization and a bugfix in the button coloring function -- slight changes to the toolbuttons (especially the round version) -- pressed sliders aren't animated, better slider hover behaviour at all, "hand" cursor on sliders -- included throbber for konqueror - copy to your icon folder (global is $KDEPREFIX/share/icons/default.kde) -- fixed nasty bug when trying to remove nonexistent popupmenushadows (crashed tear off menus) - - -0.3n -- fixed error that lead korganizer to crash (well, it's rather a workaround - as the KOAgenda class doesn't like foreign eventhandlers, i removed my - on cost of slider behaviour) -- fixed graphical error on some scrollbars -- fixed qtoolbutton error (some non stippled and miscolored buttonbackgrounds in toolbars) -- fixed error on some scrollviews (that didn't highlight the scrollers) -- fixed graphical problem with stipple unalignment on toolbars -- better support for toolbuttons besides toolbars (e.g. k3b) -- some further (minor) graphical improvements -- better menu-indicator/shadow related behaviour... yes, i said this wouldn't be possible, but it annoyed me too much, so i did it. (anyone here may thank RenderMan for this, he asked and this followed me so i really had to fix this :) - -0.3m -- speedUps, speedUps anywhere... ;-) - 1. by avoiding permanent repaint (update) of animated widgets (scrollers/progressbar)) - nice sideeffect: scrollers are back on wished behaviour again ;-) - 2. by avoiding useless searching the dictionaries (restructured popup code - allmost feared it'd never compile anymore...) and some calculations ;-) -- especially for jos added a new option for even smoother taskbar butoons ;-) -- fixed miinor error in kcmbaghira (you couldn't set opacity in gradient mode / stuck to custom opacity) -- removed annoying progress percent display - -0.3l -- modified dropshadow behaviour (menus < shadowoffset won't draw any shadow at the too small side) -- slightly changed sublying pixmap for scrollbar sliders -- new progressbar for "apple" style -- new progressbar behaviour ;-) (try apple or liquid - i'm sorry i denied this was possible... i'm just a little fool):\ -- also new Scrollbar bahaviour (side effect: if there are more scrollable areas in an app, all scrollers will be paint active if you enter one. -- slightly rounded the rect toolbuttons -- more apple like shadows - i hope to soon provide fast blurring AND I DO NOT LIKE THE MS STYLE!!! (yes, this means you, RenderMan! ;-) - (notice that 1. the current implementation is subefficient - i'll enhace that for next release; 2. this totally messed up my translucency code - so if you notice any artefacts, fractions or shifts: please drop me a mail ;-) -0.3k (serious bugfix release, recommanded over 0.3j) -- better support for groupboxes of kicker apps (e.g. button background) -- fixed error on small popupmenus (thanks to RenderMan for the hint!) -- (rough) support for bottom Tabs (cause konsole will use them in 3.2) -- included math.h - i still do not understand, why some compilers (gcc versions!!!) do not suppport exp and pow internal? %) -0.3j -- corrected slider geometrics (won't slide out of sliderarea, you can grip the whole slider) -- corrected highlighted menutext color when using custom menu colors -- set the very small pushbuttons to new gradient style -- set minimum tab height to 27 pixels (regarding to tabs on apples homepage) -- reordered dropshadow calling process -- changed behaviour of kicker headers (task buttons - to say it the ms way...:) - highlightning/coloring assumes them to be NOT button colored (rather background) -- corrected slider color on groupboxes also for my friends, who don't like stipples... ignoramuses ;-) -- added gradient translucency (but please don't expect this to be a speed wonder - the gradient has to be rendered for every menu (as they can be of different width) and then blended to the background completely (different from common translucency, where i can often take parts out of the buffer) -However: it's at least ghost free and not rendered twice - if you close and then reopen a submenu (e.g. from a menubar) -- added buffer to provide ghost free shadows (this leads to double buffering for translucency, well - gradients are and keep doublebuffered anyway) -- added free sizable menu drop shadows (w/o kde bug on shadows that run out of screen) / the shadows could need a gaussian blur (otherwise big shadows look too sharp) - we'll hopefullly see that next time... (for the moment, i suggest to use bright shadows (1 - not 0) to lower this effect) -- disaligned menuchecks should no be (vertically) aligned -- hopefully fixed a polishment bug about combos on toolbars (?!) -===================================================== -AND: IMPORTANT TO ANYONE!!! DEACTIVATE KDE DROPSHADOWS!!! -(as they'll produce artefacts in traslucent menus - + artefacts within themselves - + artefacts in my shadows - + unnecessary slow down menus) -===================================================== - -0.3i -- fixed drawing error on horizontal splitters -- added new sliderarrow (thanks to Narcis Tesa for the picture) -!!! NOTICE: The new Image is (allthough applelike) very big and vertical asymmetrical displayed - this can lead to inadequate look if i can't change its size - e.g. if it settles on a toolbar (open juk to see what i mean) the only way to handle this, is resetting the toolbarsize to at least 24 pixels. As e.g. only provides a maximum of 22 pixels, you have to edit its config file by hand: open ~/.kde/share/config/jukrc, look for the [MainWindow Toolbar playToolBar] section and set "IconSize=24". - sorry for this. -- slightly changed the tabbarbase on icy buttons (by user request and because it was necessary:) -- scroller activation now also works with kwrite and dependent apps (gideon, etc) -- improved support for custom menu colors (child menu triangles, checkmarks, splitters) -- improved (generalized) toolbar color handling (background seperators leaded to uncolored konqueror completition box - this shouldn't happen to any widget anymore) -============================================================================ -=== R E A D T H I S ! ! ! ============================================================= -============================================================================ -I stole the whole menudropshadow stuff from kstyle (thanks to the developers) to call them at the moment I (yes: ME:-) want! -PLEASE TEST THEM EXCESSIVLY and tell me, if you notice any ghosts from them by doing anything. thanks. -I WON'T MODIFY FOREIGN APPS SETTINGS! therefore you have to DEACTIVATE KDE MENU DROPSHADOWS yourself! - sorry for the inconvenience. -as they're active by default it's a good idea to deactivate menudropshadows in kde's style settings -( i know that they're still ghost effects in the shadow itself - i'll try to fix that soon ) -============================================================================ -- stole kstyle function for double buffered sliders and adjusted it for use with shadowed groupboxes (allows slider moving without artefacts) - you can read it. i'm a thief. i stole it - their precious - and THEY WANTS IT! ;-) - -0.3h (for massive (!) but unserious bugfix) -- added smooth toolbuttons option -- hacked around smudge error on automoving sliders (does NOT hold for sliders on groupboxes, if shadows activated) -- you now can choose between liquid, old and newstyle baghira progress bar (honestly i prefer the original baghira style, too - well, apple's not always perfect ;-) -... -HOLY SH**, i can't believe, nobody mentioned that before: did you never try to change to a custom menu style (color, unstippled translucency???) didn't you see there was something terribly wrong??? e.g.: IT JUST DIDN'T WORK? -- fixed that, so menu styling now behaves as it should. (hell on earth, i've to do everything myself - even kickin' my butt... ;-) -(head over to resexcellence and look at the milk screenshot, if you want to know why - black translucent menus look really cool (imho), allthough qt seems to have problems displaying bright text on a dark background) -- kde's menu dropshadows sometimes still mess up with my code (and theirs, too) the reason is that I (and they) have to sync qt with xfree before i can take a screenshot - the result is that the menushadow can appear during this time and then is also captured (if i don't capture it, it will leave a white ghost instead of a black one). -for the moment i have to suggest to deactivate menu dropshadows to get better translucency results - i'll try to write my own dropshadows for a future release. -- fixed minor unpolishment bug (accidently removed moustracking for all scrollviews - bad on combos, if not reactivated by new style..., well, i guess you didn't do that anyway ;)) -- slightly changed colortheme -- made the splitter more decent - -0.3g (dedicated to howard shores score of "the return of the king", which kept me awake tonight =) -- corrected position of new triangles on srollbars etc. a bit -- found (tricky) solution for Toolbar Separators (please consult README about this!!! - especially if toolbuttons seem to misbehave): -[well, seems you did :) -OK, the following Part is a bit tricky! -QT uses the Button Color to draw seperators on Toolbars. -Unfortunately we cannot change this directly, so we have to set the button color of Toolbar Widgets to the background color. -Unhappy Effect: Toolbuttons will lose the ability to highlight, as their Buttoncolor now changed to Background mode. (f***!) -Solution: We reset the the Buttoncolor of Toolbuttons to Buttoncolor right after that. -Unhappy Effect: Toolbuttons loose the ability to use redefined colors. -Solution: Check, if button uses backgroud for color: then reset it to button -Unhappy effect: An application cannot be redefine a Toolbutton color to background color. -(The alternative would be to exclude apps like korn, that are known to redefine toolbutton color, but i think, this is the MUCH better way!)] -- ...well now korn (and other apps) now also can have redefined toolbutton colors if you enable "draw toolbutton frames" (tststs..., sometimes i wonder if i can code anyway... :) -- added an option to remove bevel around kicker (user request) -- changed look of progressbar to fit apple's bevel rather than liquids -- added an option to user liquid's progressbar (user request, as an offer, on the new progress bar groove - tell me your opinion) - -0.3f -- menu translucency should now be PERFECT (i really like the word - howerver: never say never again... :) - this means: there won't be any ghostshadows anymore - no matter what you do. also no menu will be calculated twice if not nessecary (but don't forget: this is only pseudo translucency, this means, you won't capture background changes (animations aso.) as long as you don't close the menu) - Also menu dropshadows are supported -- scrollbars now change to active (with visual notification, what means they're colored) when you enter a scrollable area. (unfortunately currently doesn't work with some apps that don't inherit QScrollview - e.g. kwrite, so ill try to catch that) -- Kicker now draws (improved) smooth headers -- fixed rect buttons stucked to non stipple background (thanks to RenderMan for the notice) -- further minor graphical improvements... -- i hate the groupshadows... :) anyway, i found a rather simple solution to put a proper background to the buttons and sliders... (i could also apply this to the combos, but as they are almost rectangular, it wouldn't make much a difference. anyway: if someone is annoyed cause he runs a 320x240 ressolution, i'll improve that by request) -- removed any (virtual) support for kde menutranslucency, as it's really not a good idea to have both enabled at the same time... -- fixed an error to LVH triangles (thanks to Narcis Tesa for the hint) -- changed triangles on scrollbars and menus to fit listview expander look -- removed bevel around kicker for user request. i'll make that configurable with the next release. -- improved header hover behaviour after scrolling (on slight speed loss) - however it's still not perfect. (header hovering is a bit a hack and qt seems to have a problem with updating the header position...) -=========================================== -+++ you can download the new enchicked wallpaper from here: -http://stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uhvh/panther-jolene.png.bz2 - -0.3e -- added a slider to configure degree of saturation for icy buttons -- forcing rect buttons now also affects combos - for a more consistent look... -- menutranslucency improvement (1): - submenus won't be creatd multiple times, as long as lowest level menu is shown - this also holds (in most cases) for menubar-popups (e.g. when flying through your menus) -- menutranslucency improvement (2): - BE BANISHED TO WHERE THOU CAMEST FROM, HELLISH GHASTLY GRIM GHOSTSHADOWS ON POPUPMENUS !!! :) - (also improves menu buildup speed, as they are partially taken out of memory. btw, how's kde 3.2 state on this? - still nice ghosts?:) - (notice: the function isn't perfect, yet: menus are not overcaptured, therefore menushadows will still draw (slim white) artefacts. Also, you can trick it if you don't move left - right, but follow a bow above the menubar, as then the pixmapbuffer probably will be deleted - i'll try to fix this in the next release. for the moment, need you for beta-testing. so please tell me, if you find more drawing errors!) - -0.3d -- added more saturation to the icy buttons (icy buttons are now active by default - i think :) -- again brighter shadows for buttons and combos -- minor graphical changes (e.g. a toolbutton frame) -- option to force rectangular buttons (sorry 'eggnogg' - combos as buttons looked really crap, especially when buttons and combos appear at the same time) -- sunken button effect now wanted - therefore constant behaviour (they sometimes did funny things before) -- some codeimprovements... -- header + kicker (was there?) flicker resettled to nirvana -- solved renderman's problem with disaligned submenu triangles (with massive help of renderman, to state this) -- toolbuttons now also can have individual colors (affects e.g. korn) - -0.3c -- changed look of smooth LVH (hope RenderMan can live with that now...) ;-) -- no smooth LVH for kicker (looked crap because of the shadow) -- new Images for the buttons (but of same style) -- slightly reworked comboboxes (smoother shape, lighter shadow) -- set toolbuttons back to iTunes style - independent of the smooth LVH (thanks to Ercin Eker for the hint) -- added new widget coloring function (it's slower at app startup, but you'll need a profiler to notice that on a current computer) -- new button pressing effect (to be honest, this happened due an accident - originally i wanted to use the outline as an alternative hover but set a wrong if check..., however it now looks like glow effect - tell me your opinion) - -for multiple request: -============ -1. you can download binaries (NO WARRANTY they will work) from here: -http://stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uhvh/baghira-binary.tar.bz2 -2. you can download the enchicked version of the wallpaper from here: -http://stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uhvh/panther-padma.png.bz2 - -0.3b -- fixed menu translucency behaviour (veeeeeery stupid bug...) -- flattened the menu indicator + use of highlightened text (blame or thank RenderMan...) :) -- changed listheader indicator arrow -- stipples aligned by default - also, removed brute force alignment (leads to some very unhappy errors) - if you seea widget, that is disharmonic stippled: just drop me a mail! (groupboxes work... partially) - therefore "Align Stipples" option is (currently) useless... -- made and fixed a stupid bug tthat allmost costed my brain... ;-) (sometimes i'm really so stupid...) -- rectangular combos (e.g. html) are now rather combos - not complete highlighted buttons -- combos however are reworked and base upon their own pixmaps - not perfect at all... need better submittal?! -- you (RenderMan) can activate smoother ListViewHeaders - basing upon the new combos... -- fixed some minor bugs -================== -= REQUEST !!! ========= -================== -Apple seems to use a nonlinear coloring process for buttons and stuff (e.g. light parts tend to be yellow). -Mosfet's linear coloring function results in quite flat Buttons. -If anyone can recommand good literature about coloring precesses - thanks ;-) -================================================================= -================================================================= - -0.3a -heyheyhey... consistent source (./configure;make;make install from topdir)... finally. YEAHHH BABY! -ok, now the important stuff: -- tabs now also follow inactive button style -- fixed a popupmenu bug (for aligned stipples) -- reworked the polishment process -> should be much faster now, also lost some errors (e.g. open juk with 0.3, did nobody see this??? ) -- added icons for the kcmdialog - just copy the iconfolders in "icons" to your icon-directory -- new "iTunes" styled rect buttons - -0.3 -- configdialog of course! -- new centerd tabs (thanks to shm for the patch) -- faster html (and other stuff?) scrolling -- fixed color error to the toolbar -- fixed major (but uncritical) bug to kicker (and child process) groupboxes -- other stuff i forgot... -================================================================================ -NOTES to configuration ----------------------------------- -- usually inactive buttons follow the background: therefore they can appear flat to very bright backgrounds (on black backgrounds on the other hand you won't see them anymore)... try to set them to "original" -- custom translucency doesn't work as it should (inverse behaviour, may overrun the defined area what leads to funny colors...) -- stipple alignement is only partially implemented - therefore it's not really slow (but won't work on groupboxes) -- centertabs should work on qt 3.1.2 and above. below this it's not tested (but may work anyway) -- "fasten the filebrowser" will lead to a stippled background (if you use stipples) and will remove the possibility to choose custom backgrounds -==================================================================================== - -0.2b -- Better Support for unstippled Background -- No more flicker ?! -- New Button behaviour (to hopefully get some feedback) -- more graphical stuff corrected (eg line near groupboxes) -- you now can configure the first items (kcm will follow soon, probably next few days) -to ~/.qt/qtrc add and modify: - -[Baghira] -drawDotlines=true -drawGroupBoxShadow=true -plusMinus=false -squeezeSbSlider=true -shadowSbSlider=false - -... not colors so far, as you would have to set hexdecimals... - -0.2a -- Fixed some graphical... insufficiencies (thanks, craigD) -- redid lines for listview so that Marcel can handle his massive email traffic again ;-) - (this will be choosable when the confdialog...) -- also triangles should look a bit cleaner now -- feedback for checkboxes and radiobuttons -- shadowed groups now won't fall to button color if you use the button color for menus -- about menu effects: fade in and animation happily works, as long as you don't use transparent menus - if you use transp menus, always the button color will be used for the effect. I *can* fix that - on a little speed loss. - However I do suggest to NOT use transparent menus with menu effects, as the menu will become more solid everytime you open it. - (Maybe I will support qt transparency for the unstippled menu in the future) - - - -0.2 -- new icons in listview (nice triangles instead of windows like '+' & '-', no lines) -- 3d effect for editlines -- removed shadows and annoying triangle from active button text -- changed scrollbar -> hover effect (sunken when pushed), more grippy - - -To the people who sign responsable for mosfet's parting: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -After working on mosfet's code for some days now, i think i'm really competent to say this. -I do not know, what you did or said or just why - but hey: you stole us a really great coder... shame on you. - - -mailto:baghira-style@gmx.net +- TDE Weblate Translation Workspace (TWTW) collaboration tool. + https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/weblate |
