Hi, This one is also related to bug 498, which never got attention too. This bug was also present in the KDE 3.5.x era. I'd like to do a new splash for TDE, but I will not do it if this bug is not resolved. Thank you! -Alexandre Hi, I want to do a new splash screen using this engine, and I'd like to know if there is a string I can use to display the user's background, instead of a fixed background picture. I know that TDM has a string like ''$TDMBACKGROUND'', but I don't know if there is something similar to fetch the kdesktop background. Thank you! -Alexandre I have added preliminary support for this feature in GIT hash 4abbb95. It has not yet been thoroughly tested; please let me know how it works. Thanks! Hi, The way it should work is that the picture set as the background should be stretched to fill the entire screen. Thank you! -Alexandre (In reply to Alex Couture from comment #4) > Hi, > > The way it should work is that the picture set as the background should be > stretched to fill the entire screen. > > Thank you! > -Alexandre Yes, that is correct. However, it is a bit more complex than that...if moodin is set to use the user's wallpaper it reads the scaling settings from kdesktop and determines whether or not to scale the background image based on that. Furthermore, if a native resolution background is available it will preferentially choose that background instead of scaling the non-native background image to fit. Yes, that's true. Does it still have the possibility to use a fixed background picture too? One thing I noted (from the ModinKDE engine on 3.5.13.2) is that the icons are horizontally stretched when used on a widescreen, which is quite ugly. Is it possible to have a line to set on or off the deformation of these icons? Thank you! -Alexandre (In reply to Alex Couture from comment #6) > Yes, that's true.

I added a theme file option called ScaleIcons and disabled it by default. (In reply to Timothy Pearson from comment #7) > (In reply to Alex Couture from comment #6) > > Yes, that's true.

By the end of the week, I should be able to test it. I'm not ready yet to play with it, but I saw that the pictures and text positions are in pixels, instead of something more scalable such as a percentage of the screen resolution. It would probably require to do a lot of rework to get the available themes to work with it, so it is not for now, but maybe in the future. Thanks! -Alexandre Hi, I haven't received it yet in my updates, but I guess it should be on its way! -Alexandre Hi, I (finally) had the time to test the updated MoodinKDE engine. What works now: -Icons are now of the good shape -The background picture is now resized as it should But how do I enable it to use the user's background instead of just the background picture in the theme folder? Thank you for your help! -Alexandre Hi, Another detail: Still on my Asus EEE X101CH with recent TDE R14 nighlty build and Ubuntu 14.10, two icons don't ''light-up''. These are the second icon and the second last one. They did light up on PCLinuxOS with TDE 3.5.13.2 Thank you! -Alexandre Ok, I found how to turn on the option to use the user's background by looking at the git hash text. Thanks! -Alexandre Alex, is there anything left to be done for this bug? If not, we can close it, otherwise please advice. Yes, two icons don't light up. > Yes, two icons don't light up.
Ok, also I can reproduce it on my system. I shall see what I can do about it.
Icon highlighting fixed in commit 3b45645 (master) and a1ae954 (r14.0.x) Commits 4abbb95 and 4bdcac9 have been backported to R14.0.x as 1ffd7de and 123691e respectively. |
