Strange, I'm getting a failure during make when it goes to create the images.h. I evidently do not have 'qembed' installed, but I have the QT3.1 dev sources installed. Is that something to do with QT-embedded? I hope I don't need to install that to get this nice windec. :)

Any ideas?

qembed is a tool that comes with Qt. It "embeds" an image into a header file, so that you don't need to load images at runtime. It's possible that your distro didn't include this with the Qt development tools. If you have qmake and designer, then you should have qembed as well.

One possibility is that it is installed, but not in your default path. Use your package tool to see where Qt was installed. When you find qembed, add its location to your PATH variable before you run make.

p.s. Are there enough distros out there that have this problem that this would become a big issue? If it's only a couple of them, I could put some notes in the INSTALL file.

Cretins and Philistines! I sure hope someone files a bug with them over this. libqt3-devel should contain all the Qt development tools. Maybe they thought it was for embedded development since this package doesn't have qvfb or makeqpf either. Sigh.

Well, since this is obviously going to be a major problem with a lot of users, I'm going to have to upload a new version of Grover with a premade images.h file.

I use qt-copy from KDE's CVS and didn't have qembed either. It doesn't appear to be compiled/installed by default, but it may just be me; I don't recall the exact parameters I passed to make.

THANK YOU!

RH 9.0 does not seem to have qembed anywhere, though I did find a qembed.cpp file in the Tools subdir of the qt-devel, but attempts to compile it failed and I did not have too much time to monkey with it.

But big thanks for creating the image.h for us. This windec looks as good as I thought it would. :)

border width

It's indeed a very nice decoration. What I don't like is that ther's no border on the sides of the window. Could you make the border width configurable?

Excellent window decoration! Possibly the first one I've seen that I like as much as the new Glow. ^_^

If it's not too much trouble, an option to not have a border (that solid black line along the edges) would also be nice. IMHO, drop shadows look better without them.

I've added configurable frame widths, but to get a size of zero you will need to edit your ~/.kde/share/config/kwingroverrc file and set FrameWidth to 0. The titlebar and handle will still have a black border however.
