Beryl 0.1.1

[PriceChild]

dearie me....
you keep thinking that beryl won't get any smoother on your system

then BAM!

they bring out 0.1.1 and incredibly it is!

Just got the latest version today.

I was a bit hesitant because of a few reports of broken beryl's in the edgy forum, but all my config files were wiped and fresh ones laid down and now i'm drooling :)

[chaosgeisterchen]

Note that 0.1.2 is already due in 2 weeks.. their development is racing.

[PriceChild]

uuuuuu... i don't use a window list area any more and aladin lamp animation now still happens on minimize! :D

[chaosgeisterchen]

So you seem to like it ;) great :)

[ayoli]

hum, nice new features, but i must reload beryl after login (even if beryl manager loads and beryl is selected as default manager)...too bad

edit: ah, pb gone after removin .beryl-manager* files and restart a couple of times, now beryl is only cool :)
oh, dream fx for menu is horrible, i prefer short fade + a bit of wobbly :D
it's a bit hard to find what options are because of new french translation :D

I get a strange problem that maybe you guys know how to fix. Sometimes my Beryl System Tray icon disappears.

Not sure why. How do I get the system tray to come back.

Thanks

The system tray is actually a separate program called beryl-manager. I don't know why it would be failing, but to get it back fire up alt+F2 and type
beryl-manager

Performance is great, just no decorations :( and the default settings suck

I just upgraded and there aren't any window borders...how do I fix this?

edit: it fixed itself lol

[chaosgeisterchen]

How did it fix itself, if I may ask?

Well I switched to metacity and then switched back to beryl and it still didn't have any window borders. I don't really remember what happened next, but the window borders just appeared. I might have clicked in the space where they are supposed to be or something...

Or if you hold down alt and drag a window it moves the window around, the window borders might have appeared after that.

It was really weird, I don't really remember.

[Peepsalot]

I can't get any borders either.

[chaosgeisterchen]

Seems rather buggy.. I see what I can find out about this issue.

[Peepsalot]

Turns out I just needed to edit xorg.conf again, since some settings got overwritten.
added the:


Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

line to the screens section, from the HOWTO on these forums.

[.t.]

Well, 0.1.1 is a huge improvement. It's much faster, and beryl-manager even has support for Compiz!

[chaosgeisterchen]

@Peepsalot: So I guess your problem vanished ?

[killkoy]

just upgraded and am very impressed, previously had the animations plugin disables because i couldn't stand the dream thing on the menus. Now beryl-settings gives me the option to change it so i have cool animations:D

[darkhatter]

it runs faster, but I'm getting weird problem, sometimes the menu doesn't show up, I'm already addicted to beryl so there is no way I can disable it now. :mrgreen:

[Peepsalot]

@Peepsalot: So I guess your problem vanished ?
Yes. After that change, all appears to be working.

[darkhatter]

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

the problem appears to be gone now

[chaosgeisterchen]

Great that you solved your problem :)

I have to admit that it's great fun seeing Beryl solving its problems by itself :)

[darkhatter]

I think I just set the options to default so that may have been it

[mutlu_inek]

Regarding the window borders see this thread started by chaosgeisterchen (see above), maybe it helps:

[chaosgeisterchen]

I should really work redundant and post the links in either forum.

Thanks for doing it for me ;)

[hanzomon4]
