New bs plugin!

[gnumdk]

Here a new version of bs plugin.

It now use regex matching feature like with opacity in core (current git)

http://hibbert.univ-lille3.fr/~cbellegarde/Compiz/bs.tar.gz

I will tomorrow work on state plugin:
- remove opacity/brightness/saturation options
- remove position option (go in put plugin)
- Use new regex matching compiz feature

I will also add regex matching feature to put plugin.

[UPDATE 05/03/2007] Code optimization

Great job man :lol:

Just one question, is there a cetnral place for extra plugins ??
There is no repo and i don't think its very convenient to check every post on the forum just to get the latest version of each plugin

At the least someone should get an account on freedesktop and every new plugin or patch should be forwarded to him too for inclusion there.
This way people should have no problem making packages or ebuilds or whatever ...

The way things are i am having touble keeping up to date and this whole situation makes the project look bad

I know people have been asking before, but with the latest changes in the core i believe that we must do something fast

I have just sent a tarball with all the plugins which work with current git to David, hopefully they will be in a community repo soon :)

My bad :oops:

Please, is there a way to make bs and widget plugins work well together with fade? It slows down extremely all these transitions... but I don't want to turn fade off or reconfigure its numerical options for them, I like its features too, exactly as they are now.

I am planning a version of widget which takes advantage of fade, rather than breaking it. I think its the way to go in plugin development :)

Can't see any problem with this bs version. It's based on some new code (inspired from opacity core code) and here i have no slows down.

For sure, I downloaded once more the tar.gz from this thread and reinstalled it, but it's still present. By the slow-down, I mean it's just... faded. Opacity setting from core works instantly, this takes some time after the command, using it for a smooth transition. (I have set brightness_step and saturation_step to their maxima.) Without fade loaded, it works just as expected.

I see it too, but its not slowdown, it is fade doing what it does best.... fading :)

For some reason it does not fade the opacity changes but it does on brightness and saturation (here anyway)

Yes, but it promises solely
"Fade in windows when mapped and fade out windows when unmapped"
and this is really all I want. I think it should provide some exported functionality which could be used, e.g., in widget, but not fade every change it detects anywhere. Or bs and similar could have some way of getting around it.

Yes I agree - I hadn't read the 'promise', the side effect of fading paint changes is nice for me but there should be a way to make it more controllable.
