Yeah Prakash, its there.

Volunteering for Mac4Lin?

Sry at this time
but I tried mac4lin just now.everything works OK.I am not at all familiar with docks.still installed awn from repository.I dont need to enable any external repo.I think cannonical commerical repo will be where awn is available?


the only problem I really face is firefox font issue-the fonts looks ugly.
I think this problem is faced by @imav also that time
I think the problem will be the /etc/fonts/alias,mis,ms-fonts etc files that was extracted into.I am no expert fonts(defoma) hinding thing
and this problem especially happens to nvidia card owners.


will reply if any solution is found(like NOT using those defoma hints )

So, I finally used Mac4lin on Ubuntu.Am a lazy sloth to download anything.So just got it from this month's LFY CD.!
Must say, It looks very nice and pretty.But there's one small problem.I can't have transparent panels now.Here's a screenie to explain better:

As you can see, only the part of panel is transparent.Any idea why this happens.?

^^^it needs compiz fusion enabled

 

[shady_inc]

Compiz enabled and working fine.

Natively the latest version of Mac4lin doesn't support transparency in panels. This is to keep the interface consistent (since it also bundles a theme for MacMenu hack).

To enable panel transparecy you need to install compiz settings manager and make the top panel transparent as reqd.

^You mean to say previous versions did?
Besides, hows it possible for a gtk theme to make a transparent panel?
That's the job of a compositor if i aint mistaken.

 

[infra_red_dude]

Yes with upto 0.3 you could use the Transparency option in the Panel properties to make it fully translucent. But with ver. 0.4 the ability to make it fully transparent is not available.

Sabr karo bhaiyya. Just done with the icon theme

Sabr karo bhaiyya. Just done with the icon theme

need any help ?

I remember mehul telling me of this commandline image editor which can do the same action on a number of files. I hope you remember to use it to resize all icons to the same frame, so that the Terminal Bug does not reappear

if you give me your icons, I can try repackaging them for KDE.

In the cases where there are a multiple of icons for the same perpose, how about asking here and in your website which is better by a debate and/or a poll ?

Last time, you made icons for almost every program. How about adding icons for other stuff like gconf-editor (which has no icons. anywhere. period.) ?

Done

No use without a KDE theme.

No multiple icons. Don't worry

All icons are there. (btw, gconf-editor and even the remotest program you'd heard also had an icon in the last release Same is the case this time).

 

[MetalheadGautham]

@infra_red_dude, then how about instructions to get a mac terminal ?

like green text, partial transparency(???), etc ?

 

[gary4gar]

In can be Get some sort of Integrated installer with GUI?

Since its for noobs, so it should One-click and install

You mean .deb package ? or a shell script ? Both are easily possible if and only if someone bothers to write them.

Whatever!
process or Method does not matter, just want mac4lin to be more user friendly

why don't you help do it then ?

Just create an install.sh text file with the copy command which places each file in the place it is supposed to be in ? Beleive me. The number of files is so high, you will surely suicide while you are half way through writing the script.

My exams are go, so i can't
lets see after they finish.

@regarding the suicide part, buddy someone has to do the dirty job.

 

[abhinandh]

regarding shell script i can do the dirty job.i'm free now

only if infra could give me the packaged mac4lin as he will release it.

Mujhe sabr karna nahin aata. Are sab log hawa mein baaten kar rahe ho. Iski help karo jaldi jaldi release karvane main. Bechara akela kya kya karega.

Aur is bar top bar transparent hona chahiye bhai

You need instructions for that? Chalo theek hai.. will include it this time

The next version (soon to be released) would be much more user friendly to install. I guarantee that

This poor chap has already done that! Automated installer for the soon-to-be-released version of Mac4Lin in the form of a shell script

Damnit! If only I'd found you earlier! Actually QWERTY had done a small gui in pygtk. That thing met its pre-mature end! I guess I will ask QWERTY to work on it again for future releases

Aur is bar top bar transparent hona chahiye bhai

Not possible, boss You gotta use Compiz for that. That is one thing where prolly I need to do a lot of research to enable it yet not break the whole package.
