hack of the weekend

Gosh, it glows…

It’s all cairo and librsvg like the old version, but this time it’s slicker because of the blur and the custom-colored SVG-icon. So now all of Daniel’s issues should be solved. He and Andrea polished the background earlier this week. Now the foreground is also almost done. So no more reasons to complain I hope *g*

    JFYI: the video embedding works on your site, but not when viewed in the Planet GNOME feed in Google Reader.

    Awesome work!

    @ Marius Gedminas: I know and have no idea why.

    @ Ypsy: Ups! Sorry to hear that, but this should not happen. I mean do other pages with embedded youtube-videos crash Liferea too?

    Ugh the green is ugly

  8. lgespee Says:

    It looks really nice, and it does show how good Cairo can be used within ‘normal’ (GTK) applications.
    I do have to agree with Michael however that the green/lime doesn’t look very nice. I should change it to white and have a look if it’s any better.

    But nice work!

    Keep up the good work macslow !
    I just played with your old "lowfat" soft (viewing pictures) and it was a great time :)
    I hope you didn’t forget this project :)

    Where can one find the source code ?

  12. igrunn Says:

    Could you release the code of the miniapp ? One - for example me - could use it as a pratical use case of rsvg+cairo+effects.

  13. MacSlow Says:

    @ lgespee: The green is just to demonstrate and emphasize that it is possible to override the color of a layer (but not in a DOM-like fashion) contained in a SVG-file loaded from disk. Thus it is themeable on the code-level… not only in the SVG-file itself. This could e.g. be used to make the background, numbers and camera-object automatically adapt to the selected GTK+-theme-colors when used in cheese.

    @ Hells_Dark: No, I did not. But sadly spare-time is very very short these days :/

    @ igrunn: I’ve to clean it up a little and send it to Daniel Siegel (cheese author/maintainer). That was the main motivation for doing it anyway.

    You haven’t updated Launchpad with your blueprints for the Intrepid series. I really hope you are still an Ubuntu developer.
