Well it doesn't really work for me ...

I am using fvwm, and it can't focus on a window which is on another desktop.
I doesn't take snapshots properly, only works if i cal skippy from the same desktop where the app are located, else they appear black.

Also it doesn't refresh the snapshots it made.

But perhaps it works better with gnome.

sveini:yes it works for me,where did you get stuck?
Jeremy_Z:Isn't there a netwm-module for fvwm?
Snapshots are not updated for perfomance reasons I guess,
but you can force updating with Control+"activation key".

Don't know about a netwm-module.

I got skippy working in kde, but does anyone know how to compile the skippy-xd? It seems to be the better version, and I dont know what xrender etc means. Are they packages?

FYI:
Quote:
So far, it's been sucessfully tested using OpenBox-3.2, Fluxbox-0.9.9 (thanks daelstorm!), XFWM4 (thanks SeeSchloss!), Metacity (thanks SmackleFunky!), WindowMaker (thanks SuperBFG7), IceWM (thanks Tomasz Torcz) and KWin (no, BlackBox and ion aren't supported).

Note: if you want to use skippy with WindowMaker, make sure WindowMaker is compiled with gnome support.

Another note: If you use KDE, Skippy might have trouble grabbing the F11 key. You can make it bind to a different key in the config file (see the skippyrc-default file that's in the tarball). Scroll_Lock is reported to work (thanks Dmitriy!).


Thanks for pointing out this app! I've always yearned for Expose but do not have a Mac. Hope an ebuild is committed soon. :)

P.S. Also found a pager app for Fluxbox: http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/fbpager/

The xd-version needs fdo's Xserver...

This worked fine for me in the latest version of fvwm

Code:
fvwm-2.5.10-r2


I'm not sure of its usefulness, but its an interesting app :D

Well, the Expose concept is cool enough for Apple to devote one full page to it :)

But is everyone experiencing this? When the window changes, the scaled down version does not get updated.

I believe that's a Skippy-XD feature, not 'regular' Skippy
