ElectricSheep 2.6.9 =================== Electricsheep can no longer be configured from within the KDE4 screensaver preferences dialog. Instead, a separate "electricsheep-preferences" should be used now. The KDE4 screensaver file has been updated to reflect this change. The configuration application, "electricsheep-preferences", will now display when you push the "setup" button in the screensaver settings in KDE4 System Settings. The sheep also play in the small preview window within the System Settings dialog window. The "test" button does not work correctly. If you press it, the sheep will play, but the window in which the animation runs will not stretch to fullscreen. The sheep will play in full screen as expected when the real screensaver activates after the configured period of idle time. Shake the mouse and it stops. Electricsheep requires MPlayer to display your sheep! In some cases, the mplayer window may not close after stopping the screensaver. This will prevent electricsheep to play new sheep when the screensaver activates again. The solution (it is not a real solution I know) is to kill mplayer with ksysguard or the commandline "kill". ============================================================================= Eric Hameleers :: 07jan2009
