Live Free or Die Hard
Anybody know what window managers they used for that movie? I.e. Matthew Farrel's and the "bad guys". I could tell it was linux, just didnt know what window manager.
Thanks :-D |
Wow. I finally stumped everyone. :-D

Ion3?
I didn't see anyone using a mouse xD Somewhere I read that it was xpde but I'll go with Ion :P Regards |
Yeah, Ion3 seems a lot more likely. Who said it was xpde? That doesnt make any sense...
|
It was a spanish forum where an user ask the same question saying that the system "looks very like windows but it appears to have a linux console" ... so, someone said it was in fact Linux using the xpde Desktop...
Don't ask me where the 'xpde idea' came from, I only remember that I was laughting for days... :) I will stick with Ion3 with some compiz effects (windows fading, rotation...) :P A better question: In independence day movie, how David Levinson wrote a virus that infected alien's technology? and in some part at the end of the movie it seems something like C or C++ ... no, wait, the answer to this is simple...Hollywood ^^ Regards |
Yah...assuming their computers would accept C, or even used the same type of networking. Good movie though.
Couple ion3 questions (the man page is only so helpful). 1. how do you actually switch from window to window? I know the desktops are Alt-Comma/Period, but what are windows? 2. how would you select something in firefox with only your keys? 3. (stupid as it sounds) how the h*ll do you set a wallpaper in it? I've looked for over an hour (no joke) on google, but nothing actually answers the d@mn question. Thanks! |
Not an Ion user but this is what I know:
1) Alt+P (Previous window) and Alt+N (Next window) 2) Using Tab but this isn't something that work well in some cases (trying to select an img with an anchor attribute i.e.) 3) From Ion itself there's no way, from Ion's Faq (at the end) it says that you should use others tools for that, the faq says use display -window root of imagemagick for instance, but I guess that you could use things like the fbsetbg -f image of fluxbox or Esetroot -s image Regards |
Fbsetbg doesn't work...neither does Esetroot.
|
*sight*
Well, I guess that you'll have to use: Code:
$ display -window root /path_to_image/image.ext You could also add -size to ensure the image fill desktop's size Regards |
I looks like it's doing something, but it doesn't change anything. Do I have to use a certain theme that supports it?

In this screenshot how does he get mplayer to play in text in an xterm?

I found this script in some russian blog (or other language which I don't understand ^^):
Code:
display -window root Debian-background.png Code:
display -window root image.ext && ion3 & About the mplayer question, is done by using the aalib through mplayer to display video as ascii, if you have mplayer with aalib support (and I think xine is needed too), you can play in ascii using something like this: Code:
mplayer -vo aa movie.ext Regards |
OK, background problem solved.
To set the background for the actual desktop, you need to set it to a theme that supports transparency such as look_awesome. Then you use: Quote:

This is the mplayer error i get:
Code:
fluxnuk3r@lightseeker:~/Multimedia/Movies/LIVEFREE_OR_DIEHARD_BRANCH/VIDEO_TS$ mplayer -vo aa VTS_02_1.VOB |
With that I'm clueless =/
I just tried on slackware and it worked. Quote:
You could try with libcaca (assuming that mplayer was compiled with that support), it's like aalib + color, same command but using libcaca: Code:
mplayer -vo caca movie.ext Regards |
