Launch Bar for xfce

Hi .. ( again and again , sorry for my poor english )

http://code.google.com/p/wbar/

nb : you have to compile it .. :ugeek:

If I have some free time this w-e , I try to make a package (rpm) ..

Some tips if you want to compile :
1- download wbar : http://wbar.googlecode.com/files/wbar-1.3.3.tbz2
2 - install this packages : gcc-c++ , make , imlib2-devel
3 - extract archive and read "README" ( :twisted: )
4 - compile and install .. :mrgreen:

nb : if you download with firefox , archive is in /home/user/Downloads

Code:

sudo yum install gcc-c++ make imlib2-devel -y
mkdir src
cd src
mv ~/Downloads/wbar-1.3.3.tbz2 .
tar xvfj wbar-1.3.3.tbz2
cd wbar-1.3.3
make
sudo make install

Code:

[user@localhost ~]$ wbar --help

Re: Dock Bar for xfce

Hey,

great post, seriously. but it's not a dock bar, it's just a launch bar. Programs don't minimize to the bar, so it's not really very useful. But it's lightning fast and looks really good.

 

Re: Dock Bar for xfce

Thanks .. I change Title ..

 

nice works fine but i can't find where to delete and add icons and when i right click it dissapears from screen so it doesn't cover browser etc but can i get it to stay on desktop only in config somewhere. I tried that config command but doesn't open anything.

 

Any chance you could compile this into an rpm?

I know it's a lot to ask, but 1)I keep trying to find time to compile this myself but have to also juggle a job and school and 2)I've had success so far in not screwing up customizing my AAO, but I would like minimize the chances of me screwing up somewhere in the compiling process and having to restore my AAO and re-customize everything.

If you don't have time or simply don't want to that's fine, but I thought I'd give it a shot and ask.

 

I got this error when I try to run the first line ("sudo yum install gcc-c++ make imlib2-devel -y")

Code:

Error: Missing Dependency: imlib2 = 1.4.0-3.fc8 is needed by package imlib2-devel
Error: Missing Dependency: mesa-libGL = 7.0.1-7.fc8 is needed by package mesa-libGL-devel

When I check my add/remove application, it says that my imlib2 is installed but the version is 1.4.0-7.fc8. Does that have to do with anything? I can see imlib2-devel 1.4.0-3.fc8 on the uninstall list too, is it the same if I add it through that application?

Sorry I am still very new with linux, thanks in advance.

 

I know this is off topic, but can you PM me with how you got a standard LINUX desktop instead of the Acer screen?

 

I fixed my system updating my fedora

 

So since the person who posted this is no longer replying to this thread and people are having issues getting this to work, this should either be closed or adcomp might want to respond to the people who responded to the post he started.

 

.. no time , man .. And because , My AA1 is on Ubuntu , I can't help more on Linpus ..

same .. but have you do some research or do you just wait and see?

Code:

sudo yum update fedora-release

if anyone want to try that...

When installing it said: font.ttf is missing

Isn't there an easier way to install this?

I find it too hard and the author didn't make it very clear.

tks

 

Work very well .. simple and all you need to configure wbar with just few click ..

 

bad install ?

Post output :

Code:

ls /usr/share/wbar

how do i remove Wbarconf? i found out how to configure wbar another way and wbarconf is interfering with the start-up script

 

Nevermind, figured it out.

 

Nevermind AGAIN, how do I remove Wbarconf? I deleted all the files out of the directoy /home but its still configuring the bar and I need it to get back to default.
