A whole lot of new improvement.

Update:

- beryl-settings-simple and beryl-settings-tool (commandline beryl control) is part of beryl-settings package

- lot of bugs squashed

- bit better emerald

- discover new things yourself

Sorry no changelog as there have been over 300 commits since last update. The beryl-devs don’t sleep ever.

Here is a link someone posted on mailing list, it is a how to lg3d by Alexey Eremenko “Technologov”.

Now you can have compiz, beryl as well as lg3d goodness all together on SUSE.

Have a lot of fun.

Translation tools are devised in such a way that not only they help you in speedy translation, but they help you in maintaining consistency across your work and with find & replace tool if you want to correct your common errors. They also provide machine assisted auto-translation features that help you translating strings as much as 30 to 40 % automatically depending upon your available translation database. Some tools are platform specific and some are available cross platform.

Here is the review of some of them available to you as a translator:

The pacakge has got kde-window-decorator too.

Also updated compiz-extra packages with new plugins snow, inputzoom and opacify.

With that also find updated gnome-compiz-preferences(-extra) packages that would make setting up compiz as you like much easier.

Alright I hear you guys.

Now on we would have two versions of packages in our repository, tagged releases and svn snapshots.

The packages would be named like:

Stable or development releases: beryl-core-0.1.4…rpm

Unstable SVN snapshot: beryl-core-snapshot-…rpm

Cheers

Another Development release of compiz, quite a few new things. Complete information about the update by David Reveman HERE.

SUSE packages are now availabe in my home repository.

You would need to uninstall old packages or force update if using packages from the X11:XGL repository.

Also update compiz-extra package if you would like some Animation, Brightness/Saturation and Neg effects.

Happy new year and have a lot of fun!
