Smooth Tasks

Plasma 4 Extensions by panzi 842 comments

Don't bother with more testing. I needed to use Kopete today for some reason and noticed that the notification works just fine for it. So I did more research and it turns that it's the Kadu IM client issue which is known and supposed to be fixed in next release.
Yet I find it strange notification works fine on stock taskbar plasmoid.

What I recommend though is that put an information in README file/project description that some software may be buggy and can cause such issue, eg. Kadu IM client.

And regarding your ranting, did you make sure that it's not your power supply or the mo-bo that caused the graphic cards failures? - Dec 29 2009
Smooth Tasks

Plasma 4 Extensions by panzi 842 comments

Yes, I have the 20091206 version here.

But how do you test it? It's possible that the IM application I use does something unusual that is still supported by KDE's stock taskbar plasmoid.
Let me test it your way. - Dec 29 2009

I observe the issue here only when using a Kadu IM client, as I don't know any other way to trigger the the system bell/window response request. How would you test it? - Dec 28 2009

Smooth Tasks

Plasma 4 Extensions by panzi 842 comments

It seems that window activity notification does not work. Was it actually supposed to?
Take for example a chat window that I minimized prior to testing. When the other part writes something and the window stays minimized, I see no notification nor anything else. I can only see that the taskbar item blinks when I hoover over it and it extends its size (I have that option turn on).
I think this is a major issue and forces me to go back to standard KDE task bar for the time being.

Let me know if I can explain it more. - Dec 19 2009
PowerDevil

System Software by drf 79 comments

I second that. I just tried to find such an option in PowerDevil but I couldn't. This is really important, as currently locking the screen after closing the lid doesn't do any power reduction at all. - Dec 17 2008

Just want to let you know that the Tango skin for Opera fits your theme quite nicely if you edit the skin's ini file found in its archive and comment-out the Tile Top line in [Pagebar Skin] and [Toolbar Skin] sections. - Sep 05 2007
Some time ago I reported a problem with mysqlcc hanging when using qtcurve style.
Now I experience the same problem with qt linguist. Is there a way I can help you to reproduce the bug? - Jul 28 2007

There is an ugly opera issue with my settings (that you already have link for):
http://cromo.klej.net/opera.png

Thing is about right upper corner buttons - is this anything you can deal with or rather opera's specific? - Jun 16 2007
This is weird. Which version are you using? 0.9.8-beta here. Any idea how can I debug the issue so that the output could be interesting for you? - Jun 16 2007
Seems that my crashes are due to a specific theme settings then.
Download them here and see yourself:
http://cromo.klej.net/mysettings.qtcurve - Jun 14 2007
Can you please check if it is not the qtcurve's fault that mysqlcc hangs when I choose the qtcurve theme from the Option/Themes menu? As far as I noticed it hangs only with qtcurve.

KSynaptics

System Software by katakombi 68 comments

According to Intel's powertop utility [1] it seems that syndock causes a lot of wakeups from cpu idle mode thus causing increased cpu usage. Please have a look at the tool and try to minimize the number of wake ups. Thank you.

I _am_ compiling it from the sources. Using the archlinux distribution. What is worse, I tried to go back to 1.0.2, that used to compile and work fine, but now it has the same problem as 1.0.3 does.
And kcontrol says nothing at all. - May 10 2007

Here is the example of the one that is not working at all. Searching for the city name (Czestochowa) no longer returns search results, too.

This bug is still here with the most recent version. Any way I can help you fix the bug? - Dec 04 2006
Another weird thing. http://cromo.klej.net/8.png . Thing is about the toolbar handler in top left cornet, that is silver while the background is black. I know this is not a bug and is rather related to my current qtucrve settings. Besides, it's the application UI design that makes it look like this, but is there a way to prevent it? Maybe in situations like here the handler could be coloured same as the menu's background? It's not the first app I see looking like this, though can't recall the name of the other one. - Nov 16 2006
Yes, it's like this in all gtk2 apps I tested, i.e. gimp, sylpheed-claws, firefox, amule.

Name : gtk2
Version : 2.10.6-1

Archlinux here. - Nov 14 2006
Notice the "inverted gradient" look of the tabs background as well. I guess it's not the way it's meant to be? - Nov 13 2006
Found two bugs with the most recent versions. First, the GTK2 apps menu background don't take on the kde colors. You can see it here: http://cromo.klej.net/5.png (gtk2) and here: http://cromo.klej.net/6.png (kde). Also, for some reason tabs in firefox are corrupted. I guess that's because the font size that make the text taller that the tabs themself. Can be seen here: http://cromo.klej.net/7.png - Nov 13 2006
Best way to make sure it's not qtcurve's fault is to try some other theme, e.g. plastik and see if this behaviour is still there. - Nov 02 2006
Thanks :) - Nov 02 2006

Karamba & Superkaramba by Matti 1797 comments

For some reason, lwp stopped working properly. It takes about 5 mins for it to show the weather information after beeing run. From console output I can see it downloads all the weather forecast data quickly and then it stops. Last thing I see is:
sunrise : N/A
sunset : N/A
Then when it finally loads after 5 mins or so, I can see:
Cities for config menu:
['Wellington, New Zealand']
00
00

Nothing else, no error, no warning, no nothing. Deleting ~/.superkaramba won't help either. I got no idea why is that. - Oct 16 2006

1. Yes indeed, I didn't notice that before.
2. Yes, I know that. I wrote in my prev comment that I do it this way everytime I have a connection, but this is not the solution. In my opinion such eyecandy software should not need me to restart the applet for it to update the data, it should do it automatically.
3. Then I guess it's a bug.
4. Yeah, sure. That's the _very_ good idea. Again, this is meant to be eyecandy software. I guess you just don't like constructive critique then...

Also, have a look at this screenshoot:

I expirience lots of annyoance from lwp on my laptop. That's because I not always have an internet connection available. In such cases, I hate that dialog that says lwp was unable to fetch data when beeing loaded. Secondly, it doesn't check for any connection after that, so in case I become connected I have to restart the whole theme manually. Thus it would be nice if it checked every couple of mins for connection and if it has it, download the data needed obviously. Also, while beeing without connection it could display something more informative than 0C degrees that could be misleading in some cases (freezing in the outside :)).
Lastly, I hate that picture displayed when lwp downloads the data. It should be possible to disable it.

Anyway, thanks for this usefull and beautiful piece of software :) - Oct 04 2006
