This looks cool. I'll have to try it when I get home.

Is it possible to run this fullscreen?

Hi All.

Firstly I'm not a Gentoo'er (maybe I will be some day....) I'm using x86_64 Mandriva 10.2 at the mo and I have the exact same problem as Boba. I was able to build a 32 bit version with little trouble using "lunux32 jhbuild xxxxx" etc. As I didn't have a 32 bit version of glib installed I had to jhbuild glib/gtk etc. too. I had to go through a few hoops to get everything compiled including a couple of simple patches to configure.in to make some of the packages realise the others existed (Pango Xft was one - had to force it to see the X11 stuff, same problem for another package but can't remember which one of hand, but was really easy to patch up the configure.in in each case.)

Regardless, there does seem to be errors on x86_64 so it should be fixed... I've added some comments to the Luminocity wiki page relating to issues with x86_64 so others don't get tripped up.

chris_r: luminocity --help

..... try passing the -f option, and also the -u option..... don't close the last terminal tho' otherwise I'm not sure how you can quit luminocity in fs mode without calling "killall luminocity" from a term!! Fortunatly mine crashes when I move my mouse scoll wheel so that's one method but obviously it shouldn't do that! Oooh I never actually tried alt-tabbing out.. wonder if that rather obvious ploy would work......

Hope this helps
Col

Just come across this. Glad something is there to rival Longhorn's new wobbly windows too :twisted:

works really well!

but i don't think that the transparency is a good thing for playing movies and you can drag your programs outside the bounds of luminocity, wich is very anoying.

So is it usable or just a toy?

Seems the X server makes problems here...

configure: error: Package requirements (randrproto renderproto fixesproto damageproto xextproto xfont xproto xtrans xau compositeproto resourceproto recordproto xdmcp xdmcp) were not met.
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively you may set the XSERVER_CFLAGS and XSERVER_LIBS environment variables
to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for
more details.
*** error during stage configure of xserver: could not configure module *** [17/24]

Indeed, same error here, no config.log

There should be several config.logs, you'll want the one in the xserver directory.

These are the packages I unmasked/emerged:

Try just linux-headers

Can someone tell my why I get this? How can I solve it?

Same problem here...

edit- Ok, never mind, I installed some more packages and got the configure to work correctly, but it still fails when trying to build xserver. This is the error I get:
