'3': Note that the context menu of the terminal area is provided by the Konsole kpart component Yakuake embeds; Yakuake has no control over it. As for making settings stick, I think you'll need to click "Save as default". - Sep 10 2006

'1' is under investigation. Note that the Konsole component embedded in Yakuake is responsible for the pseudo-translucency hack, however.

As for '2', I'm sure you can see how that is not feasible due to window decorations being designed to draw the title bar at the top of the window, not at the bottom. Also, this is a design decision, not a "bug". - Sep 08 2006

Note that you can use the DCOP interface to run commands in sessions (slotRunCommandInSession), so you could write a simple two-line wrapper script to implement your wish. - Jun 15 2006

Yakuake

System Tools (NOT OS or ROMS) by Sho 1027 comments

Unfortunately that's not viable, no. Present window decorations generally do not accomodate bottom titlebars to begin with, and painting on [the bottom end of] a decoration border is troublesome as well. - May 11 2006

> First thing is: is there any way to create a yakuake version that'll use COMPOSITE to draw a true transparent terminal?

Nope. Won't happen until KDE4, but eventually it will.


> Second: Could you please add an option that will stop Yakeuake from being "on top", or "above" all other windows on the desktop?

I'll consider it.


> And third: Is it possible to disable that little notification which appears in the upper left corner of the screen after Yakuake's start and says "Apllication successfully started... bla bla" ?

Not yet (short of editing the source code), but it will be in a future release. - May 04 2006

Session initialization had a number of problems and needs to be rewritten to be safe to use.

Login shell support will return in the next release; there will be a GUI configuration option, and it will recognize the same command line argument that Konsole uses. - Apr 29 2006

I've gotten another report for this problem, so there's something to investigate. Once more, I cannot reproduce it on any of my three systems, which makes it a bit more difficult than I'd like. Could you give me some more info on your setup, i.e. KDE version, Qt version, any special settings for the Konsole component in Yakuake? - Mar 22 2006

dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotAddSession
dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotRenameSession 1 bar

Session management is indeed planned for a future release.

Note that you can script Yakuake externally using DCOP - I currently use a shell script wrapper to start it that opens a number of sessions and runs a couple of commands in them. - Mar 19 2006

My problem with this one is that I've never been able to reproduce it on any of my systems. One of the earlier reporters claimed a slight change to the initialization procedure fixed the problem for him, which I have applied to this release. Since it doesn't work for you I'll continue to investigate. - Mar 18 2006

Yakuake

System Tools (NOT OS or ROMS) by Sho 1027 comments

I'd try to solve this differently, for example by putting:
shopt -s histappend
PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a"
... in .bashrc, then the history would be written to disk each time shortly before the new prompt is displayed, and appended to the history file instead of overwritten. That would have the side-effect of a sort of "delayed shared history" between all shells, however. There's likely to be a smarter way to do this using bash facilities.

One crude way I could imagine is to use the environment variable Yakuake sets in sessions (DCOP_YAKUAKE_SESSION) in conjunction with PROMPT_COMMAND to set the history file (another shopt call) to a different file for each session, and manage them in a shell script.

There's quite a bit you can do here. - Mar 15 2006

Rustic

KDE 3 Color Schemes by amaterasu 2 comments

KDE 3.5 renders the window title bars much darker. If you want to retain the Rustic look of KDE 3.4, change the RGB colour values of "Active Title Bar" to 97/97/97.

May I suggest to the author that he updates the file for KDE 3.5? - Nov 16 2005

YaKuake showing in Alt-Tab has been removed on purpose before. If you want a terminal emulator that tightly integrates with normal window management, I suggest using the able Konsole :P. - Oct 18 2005
Yakuake

System Tools (NOT OS or ROMS) by Sho 1027 comments

1) Note that Konsoles colour schemes are already supported. See the context menu.

4) Composite support had been added to Konsole a long time ago, but it was disabled due to side-effects. The konsolepart component (which YaKuake embeds) never supported it, however, since the toplevel window that would have to be an ARGB visual, too.

Note that Composite is disabled by default in the current Xorg stable release, that it's quite buggy, and that only few video drivers support it with sufficient performance.

All in all, it would be a lot of work to make YaKuake work with Composite at this point in time, and the gain for the majority of users would be rather slim IMHO. - Oct 18 2005

System Tools (NOT OS or ROMS) by Sho 1027 comments

2) Hm, I think 'keep above' is the whole point of yakuake. Are you aware of the "Retract when loose focus" option? That might solve your problem.

3) Note that you can currently set up your own profile to a certain degree using DCOP scripting. You can add sessions on startup, rename them and input commands.

neptune: Maybe it's possible to add a schema parameter to slotAddKonsole that opens the session with a particular saved Konsole color scheme/session profile? - Oct 17 2005
BibleTime

Education Apps by joachim 97 comments

This is not a "religious" application, it's a piece of software that facilitates studying the Christian bible, a volume that has greatly influenced Western civilization no matter your religions believes. All sorts of people might have a valid scientific interest in studying the bible: theologists, literature students, history students, the list goes on.

I think placing BibleTime in the "Scientific" category is thus quite valid.

Not that it plays a role in the matter at hand, but I might note that I'm not a Christian. - Oct 16 2005
