Good Night 0.1 (Amarok 2.0 Script)

Good Night 0.1
(Amarok 2.0 Script)
This is a sleep script for Amarok.

With it, you can schedule to stop the music and your computer
at a given time.

The configuration of the script is saved each time enable/disable is clicked.

Usage
You have several options to decide when the script should act.
You can also set a fade-out to end the music smoothly.

When the time comes, the script can quit Amarok, and/or suspend/shutdown the
computer. In this case, OSD messages will be displayed for 30 seconds, so that
you have time to cancel the action if you’re still in front of the computer.

There’s an additional option to turn off the screen when the script is enabled.

If suspending is not supported, a warning message is displayed in the GUI.

Thanks
Strongly inspired from the Sleepy Amarok script.

This week in KWin (2013, week 8)

Leave a comment

Over the last week quite some bug fixes got merged into the 4.10 or master branch. We have some nice improvements for the desktop change OSD and even improvements for Multi-Head setups. The slideback effect operates on stacking order changes, now. This makes it working with Focus Follows Mouse.

In the Qt 5 porting preparation quite some code got prepared, but not merged yet. Our paint-redirector which is responsible to bridge between window decorations and compositor got adjusted to no longer make use of the QPixmap/XPixmap relationship for xrender on raster graphics system. As a nice side effect of this work we will get some improvements also for the OpenGL compositor.

Another area of work was the removal of QCursor usages in KWin. We used to use QCursor for setting a specific cursor when low level interacting with windows (e.g. setting the pointing hand cursor in Present Windows effect). With Qt 5 we do no longer get the underlying X cursor, so we needed to go for an own solution. We already used to have an own replacement for QCursor::pos(), which got now merged together with the other cursor handling code into an own class.

        This week in KWin (2013, week 2)

        A rather busy week is behind us. Not only have there been many bugs fixed, but also some feature/refactoring branches were merged which are not listed in the summary. For example a refactoring of virtual desktops landed in master. The management of virtual desktops has been split out of the Workspace class into an own module. As new features we have more support for the application menu button in window decorations. The Laptop decoration got such a button and generic support has been added to the Aurorae theme engine. Now almost all decorations shipped with KWin can provide this button.
