smooth-tasks [Solved]

[raman]

Do you have some info about smooth-tasks? Still not working with KDE plasma
Any news?
Maybe you know some another good app similar to smooth-tasks widget?

[raman]

I have heard about smth like: Flexible Tasks ?

[raman]

I've download Flexible Tasks from: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?co ... fe7a7545d0
Now I do:

Code: Select all

#equo install cmake automoc

Later:

Code: Select all

$cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`
$make
$sudo make install/strip


The applet is added to applet list. I add him and change option to show only icons.
This is effect:

With some customization:

Looks great, raman!
How about a package request to the Bugzilla?

I notice that the Smooth Tasks widget is working in KDE 4.7. However there is no longer a preview window when I hover the mouse pointer over an icon on the Panel (cf. old screenshots posted by ReemZ in the post Re: Small panel buttons? [Solved]): instead a pop-up bar appears with the name of the window in it. But at least small icons for minimised windows on the Panel are available again, rather than the long bars for minimised windows that the Task Manager widget puts on the Panel.

yes, I'm using smooth-tasks again.

Greetings,

Fitzcarraldo, I have those previews working in smooth tasks. I wonder, do you have desktop effects enabled and/or the thumbnails effect enabled? And if so, which thumbnail style are you using for smooth tasks? New? classic? etc..

I tried yesterday both with compositing enabled and disabled, but it didn't make any difference. But when I booted up today the previews are working, so it must have just been necessary to restart KDE or X Windows for some reason. Anyway, it's all good now. Nice to have Smooth Tasks back again.

w00t! Just installed ST again and replaced TM with it, working nicely, with previews!

Works here too, even with KDE 4.7.1 (testing it now)
