Anyone tried slicker for KDE?

Slicker is a collection of utilities which provide alternative for the KDE kicker bar.

It consists of three primary items Cards, the Slider, and a Task-bar. Which can be used in conjunction with each other, and Kicker, or utilized by themselves.

More info here:
http://www.slicker.org/index.php?page_i … anguage=en

Well, i have successfully built and installed slicker from svn, but when i launch it nothing happens... There is a solution at the site, but it does not work...

So, if anyone want to try this, here is the PKGBUILD (build it with versionpkg):

pkgname=slicker-svn
pkgver=34
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Sklicker is a slick and functional replacement for KDE Kicker"
url="http://www.slicker.org/index.php"
depends=('kdelibs' 'kdebase')
makedepends=('subversion')
source=('cvs.sh.diff')
md5sums=('4826b2442f995a27b1e9ac82b11a360e')

_svntrunk=svn://svn.slicker.org/slicker/atuin/trunk
_svnmod=slicker.atuin

build() {
  cd $startdir/src
  svn co ${_svntrunk} ${_svnmod}
  cd slicker.atuin
  patch -Np1 -i ../cvs.sh.diff || return 1
    make -f Makefile.cvs
  ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

...and the patch for cvs.sh (save it as cvs.sh.diff):

Maybe someone can solve the problem of slicker not showing up...

Re: Anyone tried slicker for KDE?

It is an addon for kde3 and they will include some of slickers concepts into kde4, as stated here.

So there is an old slicker for kde3 and a new one which will be included into plasma.
