Advertise packages you maintain and want to share with others!

[asdhio]

Hi!
I maintain a couple of packages in my home repo and want to share them here!

• TV-Lite
  This is an IPTV player with a layout that doesn’t get in the way and has a nice handling of IPTV playlists! Gitlab

• Bluecurve
  This is a port of the Bluecurve theme to GTK3/4 done by neeeeow on Github! It’s currently in active development and it works best on XFCE and MATE

• Brisk Menu
  This is currently just a branch of Brisk Menu for MATE, with one cool addition: the icon in the panel is customizable now (thanks to Ionic on GitHub!)
  This is noteworthy because no menu aside from the classic one (Applications / Places / System) support such behavior in MATE

• XFCE Wintitle plugin
  Ever wanted to have the title of your current window placed on your XFCE panel? Now you can!
  Thanks to AdamYuan on GitHub!
  Note: this plugin currently only compiles on Leap and I have no idea why, but the Leap package works just fine on Tumbleweed

• XFWM4 fork
  This is XFWM 4.16, with one extra feature: the title in the titlebar is actually centered now! Thanks to Ryan Bester on GitHub!
  The reason for the older version is because XFWM 4.18 crashes when handling some WINE applications

What are some of your packages that you would like to share?

The reason for the older version is because XFWM 4.18 crashes when handling some WINE applications

I haven’t used Xfce too long primarily, but everything I threw at it before with Wine worked fine; is there something specific that would cause something ran through Wine to crash Xfwm?

I’m expecting to install WoW 3.3.5, D2 (non-Res), and Warcraft 3 at some point.

I didn’t notice this before, but is this to fix how titles in titlebars are seemingly a little offset to the left? I can kind of notice that it doesn’t look quite centered with Mousepad’s titlebar title if I look hard enough, maybe, but it’s not something I’d go out of my way to mess with

[asdhio]

is this to fix how titles in titlebars are seemingly a little offset to the left?

Yeah! Apparently XFWM doesn’t center titles relative to the entire titlebar.
So if there are three buttons on the right, the title would instead center inside the remaining free space on the left.

is there something specific that would cause something ran through Wine to crash Xfwm

No clue honestly, I assume most stuff (especially videogames) should run just fine. The program that makes XFWM 4.18 crash (at least on my end) is MS Office 2016.

Update!
I’ve worked on packaging a couple of other cool things in my home repo since this was posted!

• Marwaita GTK theme
  Props to darkomarko42 on GitHub for this gorgeous theme!

• DockbarX (by xuzhen on GitHub and originally by M7S on GitHub)
  Biggest props to @tarakbumba, this package would not exist without their work packaging for Mageia!

• DockbarX LXQt Plugin
  Again, shoutout to xuzhen for making LXQt dock icons a reality!

• MATE Applet dock, with fixes by dnk on GitHub (1, 2)

• xfce4-superkey
  xfce4-superkey has a long history of forks, starting from xcape by Albin Olsson, to ksuperkey by Hans Chen, to xfce-superkey by jixunmoe, to finally xfce-superkey by MX Linux.
  It’s a basic utility that lets you use the Super key both as a modifier key and a key to launch start menu.
  It should be put in autostart for it to work.

• xfwm4-theme-breeze by psy-q on GitHub

• Prof-Gnome-Community GTK theme
  This one was originally made by paullinuxthemer on GitHub. I forked it and removed all older themes from the repo, leaving only the most recent one. I also merged the XFCE theme for a better look. It also includes patches by mierzejk and und3f.

Whew! I can’t put into words how great OBS is. I even contributed patches to OBS projects like Pantheon and Cosmic! For the record, all of my experience came from using the web UI. It’s surprisingly robust when you get the gist of it.

Small update! The xfwm4 fork got updated to 4.18! No other changes, just a properly centered window title

[asdhio]

Also, sometimes xfce4-superkey would launch Applications Menu instead of Whisker Menu.
This can be fixed by replacing
xfce-superkey
with
xfce-superkey -e xfce4-popup-whiskermenu
in the startup entry.
Have a good weekend!

Oh, and one more thing:

gtk3-nocsd - A way to disable client-side decorations for GTK3 applications. Kudos to @dilw and @jcsl, I just added a service and a patch by Unmyth on GitHub.

brisk-menu builds have been disabled. The patch has landed in Factory. Thanks @hillwood!
