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

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!

Where can one find the source code ?

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

@ 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.
