| A couple of possible improvements
Nov 9 2012 on content Present Windows Clone |
Martin, thanks for this switching layout, which is very nice. I have a couple of suggestions:
1) when pressing Esc to leave the animation, the previously active window should be selected. Instead, the window that is currently highlighted in the animation gets selected
2) when the animation starts, the window that happens to be under the mouse cursor position gets highlighted. In my opinion, mouse cursor should be used to highlight windows after the first mouse movement (i.e., if I use keyboard only, I want to ignore the mouse position)
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with QML and hence I cannot help coding these suggestions. |

Just one problem: queries using the IEEEXplore engine do not return any result.
I am using the version in trunk at revision 964. The IEEEXplore engine used to work (from time to time I build kbibtex from trunk), but since some time ago it doesn't work. Unfortunately, I can't tell exactly when it stopped to work.
Could you please check? Thanks a lot! |

xbacklight -get returns a real number (e.g., 50.00) while showBrightness requires an integer value. So, I tried:
brightness=$(xbacklight -get | sed -e s/\\..*//)
and it works. Thanks! |

Yes, it works, in the sense that I am able to inc/dec brightness and the OSD appears. However, the percentage shown on the OSD is always 0% (maybe you expected this behavior).
If you don't like to use such shell scripts, you may have a look at the source code of xbacklight. It is a simple program that uses XRRChangeOutputProperty calls to change the brightness. So you may use these calls from within your KOSD. Of course, building KOSD will then require some X devel libraries. I know that this solution has some drawback, but AFAIK dcop has been replaced by D-Bus in KDE4, so this solution may be more easily ported to KDE4.
Anyway, thanks again for your app! |

Hi,
I have a Sony Vaio FZ39VN with Intel GM965. With the sony_laptop module loaded there are two files (brightness and actual_brightness) in /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 but they are unusable. I can retrieve the current brightness by typing 'xbacklight -get', which shows the current (correct) value as a percentage of the maximum brightness supported. Or, 'xrandr --prop', which shows the absolute values of the current and maximum brightness. To change the brightness, either 'xbacklight -[inc|dec] percentage' or 'xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT abs_value'.
If you need further information, just ask me.
Thanks |

Hi,
thanks for your app, it is a great replacement for kmilo (which is ugly, non-configurable and doesn't work...). I tried KVolumeOSD and works great.
I wanted to ask you whether you plan to implement the feature of changing brightness (as far as I understand, it is currently possible to show brightness but not to change it). Also, I saw that you use acpi to retrieve the current and max brightness. However, my laptop has an Intel card and the brightness may only be changed via xbacklight. So, would it be possible to implement both ways (acpi and xbacklight) via a configure option or a #define? If you want, I can help implement such a feature.
Regards,
Stefano |
