Implementing it shouldn't be harder than implementing the Mac OS X-style menubars and making "a few" changes to KWin and to each decoration. Of course it would only work in KDE applications...
It would be perfectly possible to retain full compatibility with NetWM, there would just be extra features.

Your build environment is obviously mad. In Gentoo, this usually means invalid/bad CFLAGS. I have no idea how Fedora configures its build environment, so I can't help you here.
Try reinstalling the development packages for your system (gcc, asm, etc).

But I have no idea how to make that, I guess you need to use the X extension directly?
Maybe I'll take a look at Bluecurve or Plastik to see how they did it, and if it doesn't require too much restructuring I'll implement it. Or someone who actually knows how to do it could, it's GPL :-)

I'm almost done with the complete rewrite, and here are some of the new stuff that will be available:
- Configurable title size
- Configurable shadow distance
- Configurable button spacing
It'll be ready tomorrow, right now I need some sleep. :-)

On my screen, the titlebars weren't that thick because I'm running 1600x1200 (in which large titlebars are a blessing if you want to hit them with the cursor).
But I've planned a total rewrite one of these days, and I will of course make this configurable at that time.

KDE 3.2
Qt 3.3.1
GCC 3.3.3
GLIBC 2.3.3
Gentoo Linux
I don't know much about those kinds of errors, so I hope someone else can give advice.
The Qt 3.2/3.3 incompatibility should, however, not be an issue, as the UI-file is taken directly from the original Alloy theme (it's for the configuration KCM). The solution is to either upgrade Qt (recommendable) or copy the .ui-file from the Alloy package. YMMV.
Of course, I hope you get it working - if I'm not answering here, feel free to mail me.

Karamba & Superkaramba by flagar 2 comments
I created Minimon - worth mentioning, however, is that Minimon derived from TMon originally... :-)
Great work.

If you want to write your own, I will gladly help. Really, programming against XMMS is really easy.

You can add the following line to your /usr/include/xmms/xmmsctrl.h to make it work...
void xmms_remote_show_jump_box(gint session);
You can also download the whole header file here:

I don't think it is possible to hide XMMS completely (i.e. from the taskbar), not without fiddling with KWin (I think), and I would say that is overkill... Besides, it would be kinda bugger if my applet crashed while XMMS was totally hidden (at least for users uknowing of killall...).
About size, you are right, it does need some space if your Kicker is large (or even Normal size), but for those of us running small or tiny Kickers, it is quite nice (IMHO ;-D). A grid is not a bad idea, however...

I'll post a link for a working version in the description.

I think the next step would be to implement some kind of config... I figure KConfig is the way to go, maybe I'll start working on that tonight.
The reason I chose not to make it only a single button is that I might as well have made a systray icon in stead of an applet. But, well, of course it shouldn't be hard to implement... ;-)

Could you give me some compiler output? - Sep 19 2003
When everything is loaded correctly, you should see some entries in /proc/sys/dev/sensors with all the information.

Wallpapers KDE Plasma by bdtje 3 comments
How did you come up with those colours? Reminds me of the default background colour of Windows 95 (*shiver*).
I don't mean to be harsh or rude or anything, but I surely wouldn't use that for anything... - Jul 08 2003
