---------------------------------------------
wbar a nice little lite linux application launch bar.
===============
application bar --// wbar
==================
wallpaper --// ( Keramik3) from Keramik3 icewm theme
===================
icewm theme --// (XPmetallic ) modded a little with (led clock set to on ). and different fonts.
===================
audio player --/ XMMS
==================
=====================
=====================
THIS IS NOT A HOW TO.
wbar.
soucre install skill leval advance.
Debian has a few hag ups.
wbar requires imlib2 .
debian built the imlib2 soucre pack for me ok but did not fully install every thing
into the right directories.
=========================
no debian lenny wbar binary package (?) download
wbar source from freshmeat.net and make from source.
tar xjf wbar-1.3.3.tbz2.tar.bz
cd wbar-1.3.3
make
sudo make install
------------------------------------------
need help configin wbar try reading blog http://www.linux.com/feature/128982
are google. (?)
google ( wbar site:linux.com )
========================
libs from stable2008etch will install in the wrong place.
(dev) crap will install - but not in the rite places.
( imlib2 ) goes should go into ( /usr/lib/ )
imlib2 contains two seprate directories ( filters and loaders )
======================================
" filters " directory has sorted files:
bumpmap.so colormod.so testfilter.so
====================================
loaders directory has:
argb.so bz2.so id3.so lbm.so pnm.so tiff.so zlib.so
bmp.so gif.so jpeg.so png.so tga.so xpm.so
#---------------------------
# you must compile imlib2 so that
#----------------------------
you can get wbar working.
