for the 3d-effect: you have to cut out the part where the icon is facing to the left of to the right. Else you get color changes to the depth.

Looking at the 0.2.6 release. Could you point out where this is done in that code?

thanks,

all icons or just some icons?

I will have investigate it futher. I have it with the firefox icon with bar_height:31, but with a taller bar_height it is gone.

There's definitely a problem with it, I noticed it too, and the smaller "bar height" is used spotlight is nearer to left edge, and if "bar height" is very big spotlight is more to right.

I'll have a look at it again. I just can't reproduce the issue here for some reason. Maybe it's a rounding issue.

mhr3 said:
I think this is the correct fix for spotlight positioning:

Thanks. I'll try that out now.

Applied. r301

mhr3 said:
Well previously it was meant to cover full...

:-) I'll see what can be done about that

mhr3 said:
Now it works exactly as before, so I'd leave it as it is.

Sounds like a good plan. Thanks.

It is probably not a good reason to add it to your branch, but for now I was running your branch of awn. I wrote a little patch that does expand the bar on the user's request (gconf setting). Maybe you could add that as well?

Thanks. It looks straightforward enough. I'll give it a test sometime soon.

But it makes things easier at release time if it's filed attached to a bug... and anything that makes our life easier is a good thing :-)

moonbeam said:
Any other issues left?

I've scanned every icon effects bundle and I can't find any bugs (except the ones you mentioned in you post)

great job ;)

Well, I don't know whether it has been mentioned above but I have a really strange behavior of the 3D Turn effect. The framerate seems not to be constant so on some points the rotation slows down and accelerates again. But it's a really old issue I was having before the merge of the cairo things, too. :)

Yeah I haven't touched that side of the code.... and if all goes well I won't need to. I actually think there are people who are much better qualified to develop actual effects than I am :-) I'd just like to broaden the tools available.

Photon said:
Oh well, than I'll wait till someone of the effects developers fixes this. :)

As some-guy said, it's a feature, it doesn't look that good with constant rotation speed. ;)

mhr3 said:
Hope you get what I mean. :)

I think I see what you mean. Could you test with exactly the same icon for the launcher as the applet.

I'll probably be installing the 0.2.7 to do some testing tonight so I can look at it then if the same icon test still shows the problem. At the moment I'm running the rewrite which doesn't allow me to test here.

moonbeam said:
I'd like to confirm whether the "task" icon is an actual task icon or if it is a launcher?

It's a task icon, but launchers behave the same way (correctly), only applets don't.

moonbeam said:
Also do you have the draw arrow config option enabled?

You mean "tasks_have_arrows"? No that's disabled, here's my whole app gconf tree > http://pastebin.com/m49e10577

mhr3 said:
Ah, I just figured out what's the problem - it's the reflection_alpha_multiplier key, for some reason taskmanager/launcher doesn't respect the value at all, while applets do. And the glow animation effect doesn't take this key into consideration, that's why I'm seeing alpha flicker at the end of the animation - easily visible if you set the key to 1.

ok. well that narrows things down a bit.

thanks,
