Dienstag, den 4. Oktober 2011Version 2.3.6: * Use gsettings and gconf always in parallel if installed - thanks to the fucked up GNOME backend (testing!)

Calf studiogear is an extensive and high quality plugin pack for professional audio production
under Linux. It provides a lot of synthesizers, effects and signal processing for the use with
LV2 audio production suites (like Ardour) or as stand-alone through JACK.
Calf with all of its new features and processors isn't officially released by now so you have
to grab the GIT-repository from sourceforge.net until we are ready for a stable release.

guess is a tool to launch (and kill) different setups of programs. It was invented to startup all needed synthesizers, audio suites, MIDI sequencers and stuff with the correct source files on the right desktop for a single audio production with just one click.

Version 2.3.6: * Use gsettings and gconf always in parallel if installed - thanks to the fucked up GNOME backend (testing!)

Version 2.3.5: * Lowered some paddings on the view and display tabs to get more space and prevent the UI from breaking with different themes
I’m asking myself if it doesn’t catch nobodies eye that faders are slipping behind buttons or why I don’t know things like Ubuntu 11.04 is breaking on wallpaper changes…
Dear users of xplanetFX – you don’t have to register, you don’t have to go through endless bug reporting processes, you not event have to state your real email address – just drop me a line in the comments if you’re experiencing flaws and I will see what I can do for you. Thank you very much in advance!
Version 2.3.4: * Ubuntu 11.04 refused to update background through gsettings * Increased contrast for shadows under clouds to prevent lots of mud on northern hemisphere
If this fix for gconf/gconftool/gsettings breaks on e.g. Fedora 15 again, please let me know immediately! Thanks in advance.
And I didn’t like this amount of mud the mist on the northern hemisphere produced together with the clouds shadows underneath so I raised the contrast of the shadows a bit. It prevents shadows under “real” but thinner clouds, too but I can live with that compromise.
Version 0.8.38: * Version of FFmpeg sometimes not readable (case insensitive now) * Changes to the english language file - thanks to Das!
Version 2.3.3: * GUI broke on larger fonts (affected display, view and service tab) should work now up to 12-13pt * Overlays can be disabled _and_ enabled in UI and CLI
Version 2.3.2: * Updated greek language file - many thanks to vagrale13! * Translation automation for label "Services" was missing * xplanetFX GUI couldn't be closed while installing NASA BMC Version 2.3.1: * New options to install/remove NASA BMC were missing in CLI help
Version 2.2.27: * Custom background and overlay images with CLI and GUI
This version introduces a new feature: custom backgrounds and overlays. There are three new buttons in the tab configuring the display of the earth giving you control over the images xplanetFX uses as background and final overlay.
Keep in mind that overlays have to be in PNG format to have transparency. The images you choose are converted directly to the working directory of xplanetFX and can be deleted afterwards.
This feature is available in the CLI, too. Use
xplanetFX --background [image]
or
xplanetFX --overlay [image]
to set them via terminal.
They are overwritten when a new template is chosen or when you change your display geometry in the settings tab.
The examples present a fully customized version, a new background for the theme “cage | light” and a mixture between the styles “city” and “plasma” from the theme “tron”.
No, it’s not possible to save the settings as a new template by now. Let’s see what the future has to offer ,)
I’m always happy to get (detailed) reports about problems with new features – so feel free to inform me when you’re experiencing flaws in the handling! Thanks in advance.
