AWN new hover effects
#3689 by dolfje (0.9832) posted on 12:43pm Tuesday, July 17th, 2007
hi,
[Q]



I've succesfully patched new hover effects to AWN,
http://patch-manager.dskw.de/?do=patch&id=28
[Q]



Now you can set it to turning, or just a dissapear effect. But I will add some more these week. (My head is full of ideas)
[Q]



Still It's needs some development,
I need to hack the reflection (now it's just static)
and I have a problem with the width of the icon.
[Q]



I though the icon width was stored in the priv->icon_width, so I used it for my gdk_pixbuf_scale, but if you apply the effect you will see the border isn't scaled. Help :p

The next thing, I will worry about are the memory leaks. (Yeah just updating the icon, instead of replacing him isn't that good for your memory)

dolfje warned as about memory leaks :p . Anyway the zoom effect , icons width aside could be better if the icons where also raising while zooming so they remain at the same height. You could also try zooming the previous and the next icon at half the scale to achieve a more macish look .

Zoom is already in the patch, but I will make 3 different zoom's,
- a normal zoom, but it stays in its square (like now)
- a zoom where the place of the icon also get bigger (like kxdocker, if the icons next to it don't go with it)
- a zoom like kxdocker

About the memory leak, normally it should be fine. I don't use the "icon_cache" in my code, but I will look into it.

I just starts the System monitor built in a Ubuntu dist. It must be within mostly all Linux dists.

Then I right click on the AWN process and chooses "Memory Map" for this process.
After a while I can see many small 4kB memory "files".

Well, you also have other sizes for this usage. All 4kB files seems to grow most which leads
to other "Heaps".
[Q]



Nevertheless it must be better tools available somewhere to collect
this memory usage for better software "engineering .
[Q]



One more challenge for me is Compiz Fusion and high CPU, Xorg, CF and nVidia drivers seems to
be a challenge. Maybe coming Xorg 7.3 is something to look more into.

I am also running Firefox 3 which also uses Cairo grafics and something is wrong....

Well, who knows....? I am using Fransrogars/Telemakos/Kristians makefusion script directly from GIT. Cleaned out every sign of compiz.real and CF debs....... ;-)

I also believe that Xorg 7.3 is really important.

And also the new approach for memory handling within Gnome and glib
[Q]






A lot of trouble with this during Gutsy testing (Ubuntu 7.10). So maybe its better to build with Gnome 2.20 and Xorg 7.3 as "standard".... !?!

Hey, i'm back with more
[Q]



I've made a new patch, now i have made a second zoom that's already a step closer to the kxdocker.
[Q]






known problems:
- memory leaks (I don't know if it is in my code, in the awn itself of something with fusion)
- the first zoom is broken (I didn't change it, but still)
- sometimes the bar 'hangs', the icon doesn't grow bigger while it not at his biggest. If you rehover the bar, the icon follows again. (I think there is a problem with the resize function of awn)

That's a good step forward with the zoom effect. I think it still needs a little bit of work. The zooming is choppy and the icon is low quality. It zooms like kiba-dock does it, but I'd rather have it like cairodock

[Q]



If you need a deb containing those effects, why don't you make it yourself with checkinstall?
[Q]



You shouldn't use checkinstall to make debs for sharing, because checkinstall debs are configured to work only in that specific system and may not work on other machines.

You should make the zoom effect less intense, less zooming. It would look better if it didn't zoom that much, only enough to point it out. (or let the user decide how much, through gconf-editor etc.)

Dunno about other effects, but while we're still talking about the hover-zoom effect, start and final values for icon size would be awesome. Also, will it upsize album-art icons from rhythmbox as well? I think the cairo-dock zoom was very smooth, but it used SVG and was pretty CPU intensive.

If you have tips for other/new hover effect beside the kxdocker zoom, you best do it now.

I just love this feature. but it did not work smoothly enough. The original effect by Neil works better here. What happens with the Neil's code?
