Description: Highly configurable Mac-like (see screenshots) drop-in replacement for ksplash. Notice that this is a separate software package which physically replaces your ksplash binary. This _should_ work with KDE 2.1 and greater, but who knows for sure. Includes a KCM module to help you configure it to suit your personal tastes (each user can set it up differently). Simple to configure and install. -dT-Last changelog:
0.80-RELEASE: Jone Marius Vignes gets 100% credit for this release -- He added a new feature which (optionally) makes the icons "bounce" like the MacOS X dock. WAY TO GO, JONE!
I tried to compile it on SuSE 7.2 and got the following error message:
...in the prefix you have coosen, no KDE headers are installed...
I used --prefix=/opt/kde2/include, and the headers are in this directory for sure...
Hi.
I have a problem: I can configure it, but it won't "make" i.e. compile. Stops with error:
cd . && autoheader
aclocal.m4:687: error: m4_defn: undefined macro: _m4_divert_diversion
autoconf/lang.m4:173: AC_LANG_RESTORE is expanded from...
aclocal.m4:687: the top level
autoconf: tracing failed
make: ** [stamp-h.in] Error 1
I'm using KDE2.2.2 on LFS-Linux. Autoconf is 2.52.
Thanks
I don't think that would be an easy task. I've hacked my rc scripts (what 'init' uses to start FreeBSD) to start X right after it's finished fsck'ing the filesystems- It works ok that way, if your system's fast enough. :) -dT-

It's more like this...
there should have one.
With version are you using?
Did you made make install on the same place where kde is installed?
If kde is on /usr and you install ksplash/ml on /usr/local ksplash can even work, but there won't be any ksplash option on kcontrol.
running Mandrake?
Then follow the same direction to get Mosfet's Liquid's KControl module working. I forget exactly how to do it (I've gone to SuSE), but it's something like copying the applet from /usr/share/applnk/KDE/Configuration/LoonNFeeL/whatever to /usr/share/applnk-mkdk/Settings/LookNFeell or something to that effect. See the Mosfet Liquid board on this site.
Hi, I've just compiled Ksplash/ML on a Mandrake Cooker. The compilation went fine and the install too.
When KDE start's, I've got a new Ksplash BUT the is nothing in my control center. When I open Look'n Feel, there's no Ksplash Menu.
Does somebody know how to fix this?
Thanks a lot for this great Ksplash/ML. Il really looks great.

Ok, found it myself: I've used --prefix=/opt/kde2 and now it's compiling without errors...

It is: aclang.m4:173: AC_LANG_RESTORE .....
Got that same error, using LFS CVS and KDE 2.2.2... What's happening?
Edit your makefile and replace AUTOHEADER = autoheader with AUTOHEADER = echo It compiles fine without it...
I want this kspash when i boot up my linuxbox, mouting filesystems and so on.... Not youst starting kde.. Maby qt-framebuffer can solve this problem?

can you explain what you changed and in which files...??
Not easily. If you e-mail me, I can try sending you some RC files for you to X-amine. :) -dT- (brian@shadowcom.net)

Sounds like your kde development package is outdated. kdesktopwidget.h is missing on your box, but it's been in KDE since about 2.2 or so... :) -dT-
Well, it seems that you need to raise your minimum KDE version to 2.2... It doesn't seem to work reliably if at all on 2.1...
I may do that, or I may #def out the KDesktopWidget code for older versions of KDE (though you won't be able to use Xinerama with KDE
Just wanted to drop a quick note to say that you guys did a great job with ksplash/ml . imho, this should DEFINITELY be part of KDE 3. Thanks!
That icon jumping is really cool!
How i configure ksplash to run in imac mode (like screenshot) ?
open kcontrol, go to look&feel->kde splash screen and change behavior to maklassic.
There isn't any ksplash configuration tag in kcontrol :(
there should have one. With version are you using? Did you made make install on the same place where kde is installed? If kde is on /usr and you install ksplash/ml on /usr/local ksplash can even work, but there won't be any ksplash option on kcontrol.
I've kde 2.2.1 and i compiled ksplash with "./configure --prefix=/usr".
running Mandrake? Then follow the same direction to get Mosfet's Liquid's KControl module working. I forget exactly how to do it (I've gone to SuSE), but it's something like copying the applet from /usr/share/applnk/KDE/Configuration/LoonNFeeL/whatever to /usr/share/applnk-mkdk/Settings/LookNFeell or something to that effect.
