well I was hopping to see what others were going to say before I tried it, but since noone seems to be doing that I will take the plunge because the vids look fantastic and will post my results after I've given it a try

I made a post about your application, I hope you don't mind I uploaded your video to YouTube...

The post is called Try Gstyle Project, A New Gnome Theme Manager

I have a question: I saw your application suggests using a script called cfinstall.sh to install the latest Compiz from GIT. Is there any chance you can translate it into English? That would make things a lot easier for people wanting to try this out.

As you can see in the screenshot attached, I have installed and enabled the cubemodel plugin, but when I run command 'python gstyle.py', it still shows the following error message that no Default.ini file found in directory /home/paulchang/.config/compiz/compizconfig, any comment?

.....

thx a lot nilarimogard, cool to see our soft on webup8.org very nice and clear post np for the video on youtube...

maybe you can add that this svn version often need update

cd /thegstyle/dir
svn update

...


About gstyle, (i ll try to be clear )

filtres have been corrected for each file-select dialogs, fullpacks is now 90% working but we still have some work on wallpapers/walldyn and translations (and some other details...)

For the compiz script and the cubemodel's "problem" (i will see for english traduction)

I removed the cubethemer option (integrated in gstyle)

and replaced it by a "cubemodel" option, this function just dowload and install a .deb file of the cubemodel plugin builded with checkinstall (not clean but right for a so small package)

the package is available here (so you don t need the script anymore):
http://www.ubukey.fr/custom/deb/karm...129-1_i386.deb

it need some tests but since git and karmic repositories have the same compiz version, normaly it must work for everybody, you can install the full compiz too if you want/need

once the gstyle deb file is done we'll add this cubemodel deb as dependencies i think (if it works...)

chaopoch:

if you used our script, launch it, check the "Config" option then restart compiz by fusion-icon or restart your session

good luck


thx all
