Finished my "scroll on the titlebar to change window opacity" patch today.

Because images say more than words:

(Image is link to original)

Scroll up on the title bar to make the window more opaque, scroll down to make them more transparent, in steps of 4%.
There might be some minor bugs in the code, and the code might be not-really-acceptable (breaking Metacity standards) but hey, it works :-)

You can find a complete "cvs diff" of my current local metacity-cvs-head branch here. It contains both the composite manager changes and the scroll-on-titlebar thingy.
The current composite manager will be dropped in favour of the GL-accelerated one in the spif2 branch. I still couldn't get that one working though :-(

[edit] In Bugzilla now, GNOME bug #325373.

I started working on "Planet UGent" today, just for fun, which should aggregate everyone who is somehow related to UGent: students, teaching staff,...
Templates taken from Planet Gnome and altered thanks to Peter and RealNitro. Still a lot of design work (top banner, CSS) to do though. And obviously, we need more feeds :-)

Only 67% :-( Guess I'm too young to know about those k* tools ;-) Some questions are a little Debian-specific too, but hey :-)

Read this.

Reminds me on an article on "Web 2.0" in our newspaper some days ago, and a "readers reaction" on it yesterday. Obviously 2 people who don't understand what it's all about. Sadly enough.

Typing this using one hand, as I was so stupid to dislocate my left wrist last saturday night. At least, I hope it's only dislocated, and not broken. And yes, it does hurt.
I might get a picture later.
Got some GIM design drawings completed lately, but only on paper, I need to dia'ize them (which won't be an easy job now). I hope I'll be able to show some of the work soon.
