Enlightenment Engage

Hi All,

Has anyone got the Engage dockbar working? I tried downloading it from rensel's repository at:
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/tur/rensel
but all I get is a black rectangle at the bottom of my screen and heaps of erros on the terminal.

I know the software's still in alpha stage, but I wanna know if anyone's get it working or know where else I can download the packages? I'm really not in the mood to compile e17 fro scratch (*shudders* all those dependencies, imlib2, ecore, e-this, e-that...).

Alternatively, does anyone know of any other docker bar that works just like the Mac OS one? The main features I want are:
- autohide
- auto-popup when you hover the mouse to the bottom of the screen even when there's another window maximised in the foreground
- zooming

you could try adesklets with yab.

Don't think that has the auto-popup feature.

in order to use engage you must probably have eapp's (get-e.org)

then you should edit the file .order (that belongs to engage) that lies in ~/.e/somewhere

that should get you started I believe

Yeah, a more stable solution is probably Kooldock or some of the KDE apps if you have/want those libs installed.

WOW yeah this is exactly what I'm lookig for!

Now my question is, how do you make it work in FVWM? :-) (It seems to work fine in Gnome - maybe there's some 'screen-grabbing' api i need to run on my fvwm?...)

Thanks for the recommendation though! It's great!

Actually I think it does, although I'm not 100%. It doesn't look as good, and it looks kinda cheesy

EDIT: Whoops, I read gdesklets. I've never tried adesklets. Sorry about that.

Rensel's TUR is out of date. Use Dreameen's or Nickm's repo.

Rensel did have an unofficial repo, but Tripod deleted it.

yeah, and since the TUR is no more, it can only get more stale.
