xplanetFX 2.3.5: UI stuff
Donnerstag, den 29. September 2011Version 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…

Thank you very much in advance!
xplanetFX 2.3.4: Fix for Ubuntu 11.04 and nicer clouds shadows
Donnerstag, den 29. September 2011Version 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.

xplanetFX 2.2.27: custom backgrounds and overlays
Montag, den 19. September 2011Version 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”.
To answer the first arising question directly:
No, it’s not possible to save the settings as a new template by now. Let’s see what the future has to offer ,)
Problems?
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.
