anibg (XWinWrap GUI)

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

Description:

With "anibg" you can put a XScreenSaver or a movie on your x11 desktop, you can see it as a "Windows DreamScene" pendant.

More precisely it is a frontend for the CLI application "Shantz-XWinWrap".
It works on Linux and could work on BSD and other unix based systems too, but I am not sure, because I could not test it.

It supports the languages english and german.

Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10

Just type this in your terminal:

Compilation

You need "mono", "glade-sharp-2.0", "gtk-sharp-2.0", "glib-sharp-2.0"
and "notify-sharp" to run "anibg" and "make" to compile it.
"anibg" uses "Shantz-XWinWrap" which will be delivered with this package.
To use "Shantz-XWinWrap" you need "x11", "xext"
and "xrender" and their development files to compile it.
For movie support you need "MPlayer" and "FFmpeg".
Install some "XScreenSavers", else you will not have any
Screensaver to select.

Then type these commands in your terminal:
[quote]cd ~/
wget http://anibg.googlecode.com/files/anibg_v0.2.0.tar.gz
tar -xzvf anibg_v0.2.0.tar.gz
cd anibg_v0.2.0/src/
./configure
make
make install # Must be executed as root

Thanks ,please make instructions fool proof (for me and other noobs).

In the "compilation" section do i enter all the needed files in synaptic package manager and install ? eg : i enter "notify-sharp" and synaptic shows "monodoc-notify-sharp-manual" so i should install it
