Description: Inspired by Apple's Icons screensaver which ships with Mac OS X, I've put together this little hack for KDE. It's designed to eventually do some of the things that the Apple screensaver does, but since so much is un-implemented, I've left it at the point where it just "zooms" random icons past you, one at a time. More work is definitely planned on making this more interesting, so bear with me. (Oh, as a side note, it works best with KDE3. KDE2's DesktopIcon() doesn't do proper scaling at load-time, unfortunately, and for me to do my own QMatrix() to scale the icon is too processor-intensive for a screensaver...) -dT-Last changelog:
* 1.0 - Initial release. Not extremely attractive, but it's a start....
I'm sorry but I just had to tell you that Icons, did not come from Apple, it was first done under BeOS, and Apple decided to mimic the screensaver, as a former BeOS user I just had to let the truth be known, so how about giving credit where credit is due.
Yeah, there's a bug in the src/Icon.cpp file - Apparently, math.h is automagically included in my headers somewhere - If you add the line
#include <math.h>
(that's (LESS THAN)math.h(GREATER THAN) in standard #include format)
then it should compile. I keep meaning to fix that and re-release it, but want to whack a couple of other things first. My apologies for the trouble.

^^^^^^^^
hard work to learn! so don't spoil my
english *g*...
OK, I'm afraid I got the same results...
Is there anything to be careful about? (Libs, includes, anything non-standard-KDE?)

AfterDark by Berkley systems is the originator (first for mac then for windows) dates back to @ 1990 (win 3.11 for you whippersnappers) :P

OK, I'm about to open my eyes earlier next time... math.h in Icons.cpp CU
In the future we will have this screensaver with animated icons ;) thanks.
