threads for liquid?

Ahem, using threads for a simple pulsating button effect in liquid is ludicrous. Overheads, here we come.

You can turn it off it you want. But some of us have the comuting power to handle that kind of eye candy, and that' something we're willing to put up with.

OS X needs 128MB RAM minimum - which, in itself is ridiculous. But once you use Aqua - I mean actually _use_ it, you think of it as a fair tradeoff.

Overhead

I don't necessarily disagree with you. Personally, I think the normal, simple, lightening of the widget is good enough for things like mouse hover - but some people really seem to want animated effects.

In order to do this you need a thread. You can't just use a timer to update the frames. If the application is very busy in a loop the GUI won't update while the loop is executing, so it won't work. Even if the application is in a loop and occasionally calls Qt to process pending GUI events this will screw up the timing and make the animation look very bad. You need a thread that will always run when it's supposed to.

That being said, I personally doubt I will use this much except to impress friends ;-) It's very much a high coolness factor feature :) Being such, of course it's optional. Not only does turning it off (the default is actually off) remove all the overhead of the thread, it actually uses a different style so not even the code to support the feature is included! Both styles use the same source, but one has the thread code excluded. So not using it really does remove all the overhead - not even the code to support the animation is there.

The overhead either way doesn't seem too bad, tho, since the thread is only executed during mouse hover. Otherwise it justs sits there. I'm more concerned about memory consumption than CPU, but it runs just fine on my AMD 450MHZ/128M RAM.

hey everyone,,
did anyone try compiling mosfet's liquid widget(or whatever its called) for kde3? and had it working well?

or working at all?

i followed what it said in the manual,
first install the color scheme, then install the style.......

i've installed the color scheme, thats fine..
but when i go into the style settings, there is no liquid!!!
and whats funny is that i have 'translucent menu' option in the K->Preferences->Look and feel

also having some problems with kde.... i've compiled it from the source code i've downloaded...
i cannot start kde automatically,, i have to do 'startx' (as root) and then i have to launch kwin, kicker, kdesktop....

i tried getting kdm to work,, it starts when i run it, it even shows the list of users on my system, but you cannot log into the graphical interface!!
i would have to login into 'failsafe' mode and use the xterm, to launch parts of kde manually...

A N Y A D V I C E ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
