Found some more icons http://jimmac.musichall.cz/ikony.php3 ... theres some evolution one there too

IWICTOAN ... what font are you trying mate? Name me some.

Adz · 9 Nov 2002 at 17:02

Arial, Lucida, Times, Helvetica - All which work in other apps perfectly. I've read about the problem on the gentoo forums, but haven't found a fix yet that works for me.

Mpemba Effect · 9 Nov 2002 at 17:20

Did you try re-emerging fontconfig?

Adz · 9 Nov 2002 at 17:41

Yea didn't help

Shak · 10 Nov 2002 at 15:33

Mine doesnt work either, exactly the same problem, did you emerge yours Mpemba?

I've noticed a few bugs with idesk. The main one is that it seems to keep artifacts from other desktops in the image when you switch between ur different workspaces.

Kind of anoying really.

Mickey · 10 Nov 2002 at 16:48

Actually no, the transparent bits include artefacts from whatever you've got on desktop 1 by the looks of it, after a bit more testing that is

Mickey · 10 Nov 2002 at 16:55

No, changed my mind again

It takes artefacts from how the current desktop is when you load idesk, suppose it won't be a problem if i add it to the startup script of fluxbox, just a bit of a problem while im testing it and getting it setup the way i want it.

Shak · 10 Nov 2002 at 17:23

Take a screen shot and show me what you mean!

Shak

Mickey · 11 Nov 2002 at 00:43

See here :

Picture1 idesk is loaded

Picture 2 when the xterm is moved

See what i mean now, whatever's over them when i load idesk stays there until i reload it.

Shak · 11 Nov 2002 at 06:39

Yeah, the nasty ghosting on the icons, I see, if it was in the Fluxbox exec file then it wouldnt matter I think

Shak

Mickey · 11 Nov 2002 at 18:35

Thats what i was thinking

Mpemba Effect · 14 Nov 2002 at 15:00

Sorry for the late reply Demon ADSL was down for the last four and a hafl days :rolleyes:

... I did emerge mine and have no problems with ghosting either.

Shak · 14 Nov 2002 at 16:47

So you didnt get the fonts problemo?

Care to email me a copy of your qpkg output?

Shak

Mpemba Effect · 14 Nov 2002 at 16:51

No font problems at all. Qpkg ... eh, thats a part of gentoolkit right? I'll have to install that

Most browsers can spoof, it`s just a matter of returning a different user agent string to the webserver, even my amiga browers do it.

Shak · 14 Nov 2002 at 18:53

There are no sites that only allow IE there, what would be the point of that?
