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. _________________ "Because two groups of consumers drive the absolute high end of home computing: the gamers and the porn surfers." /.

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". |

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/ |

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

fdo stands for FreeDesktop.Org? |

Alright everybody, I'm here just to put props to hyriand (the writer of skippy). He doesn't browse the boards, but I'll let him know you guys appreciate 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 |
