-dT- ---- UPDATE: Released Revision 0.41, minor change: KApplication instance created allowing local widget styles to appear in window. (since the original KSplash didn't use any widgets, the authors turned off Application widget styling. I've turned it back on....) -dT-

0.50-RELEASE is out! New features include KSplash "emulation" and some minor bugfixes. Download it TODAY! :) -dT-
If anyone has advice on the best way to proceed with i18n'ing this project, please feel free to e-mail me. I have not i18n'ed a project before, so have no clue how the entire process should work. D'oh! :) -dT- (brian@shadowcom.net)
I've been downloading em scince 1.0. Dude keep up the good work, and dont put yourself down, im sure the core team will integreate one or two of your ideas into 3.0, or possibly 3.1
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you like KSplash/ML! :) -dT-
No really thank you for making new Ml versions, i was waiting to be able to change the buttons and there you go and put that in. The next think you should do is add a button to be able to rever back to the old style kde splash screen.
Perhaps I will incorporate some sort of "legacy" mode into /ML, rather than having to make a backup copy of the original ksplash binary, and/or trust that the backed up binary is still there, perhaps I will add another "Operation Mode" to KSplash/ML which will allow you to use Legacy KSplash screens, instead of the enhanced mode. Is this a feature that people would like to see added into /ML? :) -dT-
In order to get the control-center module working on Mandrake (I run 8.1), move /usr/share/applnk/Settings/LookNFeel/ksplash.desktop to /usr/share/applnk-mdk/Configuration/KDE/LookNFeel/ after configure make and make install. Mike
Please do NOT move it to there, but only copy it. In the next instance of the menu-update-mechanism of Mandrake, the link will be deleted ;-)
Do you have plans to submit this to KDE for inclusion on KDE 3?
I wish. I don't think the Kore team would give me the time of day. I'm glad you like it, though! :) -dT-
Verry new to Linux. Using Mandrake 8.1. Could someone please email me some instructions for compiling/installing KSplash/ML. killacom@home.com Like i said, i'm really new so I need my hand held basically. THANX
1. Download the .tgz file :) 2. Run: tar zxvf 360-ksplashml-0.41.tgz in the directory where you downloaded the file in step 1. (This should create a directory called ksplash-ml) 3. cd ksplash-ml 4. ./configure 5. make 6. su root 7a. ** Backup /usr/bin/ksplash ** 7b. make installGoto KDE Control Center and see under Loon & Feel!
Fallowed directions exactly. I had to install the proper dev. packages but after doing that it gets to the make part and falls apart.

than the other. So here it is. Please help. Its gota be something that I don't have installed (I hope) or something simple like that. THANX :)
Well it seems to have installed. I don't have the "KDE Splash Screen Option" though (in LookNFeel). So I read an earlier post for an earlier version about putting adding links to where "make" was looking for these files,dcopidl and dcopidl2cpp. That got it to install only I couldn't run make as user like your supposed to. So make and make install were run as root from the term and both worked. Could running make as root be the reason I don't have the configuration section for Ksplash-ML? Is there any way to get that added to LookNFeel after make install failed to do it? Could this be a permissions thing? Well I have no idea so I'm asking you guys. THANX:)
The last step should read Look & Feel and NOT Loon & Feel :)
