Ecomorph updated! Crude 2, e17/ecomorph being awesome again!

enlightenment dr 0.17.x running with the ecomorph compositing manager. An update to ecomorph was recently released bringing blazing speed improvements, enhanced plugin support, and tons of bugfixes. Check it out at http://code.google.com/p/itask-module/wiki/Stuff if you're on linux. You can get the themes used in this screencast at get-e.org and gnome-look.org under the name "crude." There is also a gkrellm theme. The music is "Spanish Village By The Sea" by The Shys.

I'm trying to get ecomorph to work on Arch... followed a couple of guides and I can't seem to get any effects to work.... not sure what i'm doing wrong... I load the module, log out, open ecomorph, select effects that I want... eg: wobbly windows, apply it... and nothing.... any ideas?

@Linux4UnMe I would suggest posting a comment on the official ecomorph sit , or try in #e on irc.freenode.net

You can find out more about it here: code.google.com/p/itask-module­/wiki/Stuff

What are you using to record the desktop? I get screen tearing when using ffmpeg.

[williamvaladez]

@Neuwo I'm using recordmydesktop. It takes a bit of fiddling to get it working just right with no artifacts, but it's pretty quality. Just google recordmydesktop.

To get this working on gentoo I used vapier's e17 overlay to build e17 and all its deps, then I uninstalled the e module and followed the ecomorph build instructions on its website. To find it google for "stuff itask" and it should be the first link. That being said, I think there is a new ecomorph overlay that does it all for you, but I haven't tried it. As for FreeBSD I am not sure that it would work, but you never know. The build process has gotten much easier so I would just give it a shot.

Gentoo, but distro doesn't really matter.

Awesome. I've had it emerged on my system for a while, I'll mess with it until I get satisfaction. Ta for the tip.
