I have removed the tutorial from the thread as it keeps changing - the latest tutorial can be accessed from the link below:

coool. thx 4 sharing...

but the panel applets are not installed

 

They should be (although i apprceiate that they arent in the image). I'd check a2h's site because i think he has updated the tut also.

 

If I install this on my one, will I be able to select it as a session, or will it always start up upon logging in ???

 

Yeah, it wont launch on logon until you create a session. Dont like it? Just delete the session.

 

Sorry to be a pain, but how do I go about creating a session, I know it is a .desktop file, but it is the contents I aint so sure about.

 

No problem, it is mentioned at the end of the tutorial though

 

Sorry, but what I meant was as a session from the login window. Or as it looks is it simply an app to run, rather than a window manager like linpus?

 

Whoa, hold on!

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "a session from the login window" but if you setup the session as instructed it will run straight after you logon if thats what you mean,

Linpus isnt a Window Manager, it is an OS and runs a custom interface much in the way that the harbour-launcher runs. They are essentially apps, yeah. I assume you arent trying to run this under Linpus...?

 

no i wish to run it in intrepid. What i mean is this i have gnome, kde, e17, openbox, metisse, lg3d all installed on ubuntu, at the login window i select one of the above in the session option, and that is the xserver session it logs into. Can i set this as a session or is it an app to run under another session?

 

Its ok andysan, I have just had another look at the app, and it is just an app launcher, as opposed to a desktop environment/window manager. It seems to be just another variant of the type used by easy peasy. That said, with the themes installed it does look quite good.

 

elisa .deb links not working - had to download from a2h's blog page.

 

Hi,

Right, i see what you mean - yeah, its just an app launcher, not a desktop environment. Sorry my replies were a bit saft, i misunderstood what you meant.

Thanks for pointing out the elisa debs, i've updated the main thread to instruct users to simply goto a2h's blog as it keeps changing and the front page tut is out of date.

Cheers!
