Originally posted by Pawlerson View PostYeah, I was reffering to this program. It looked like a DE to me, because of Unity like panel on the left.
Lightworks IS pretty much a desktop environment in in itself, aside from being a video editor. It has it's own toolkit, dock, workspaces/rooms and window management... however, in using it daily - it actually reminds me of Gnome-Shell more than unity. One big similarity to GS is having dynamic workspaces/rooms for setting up all your windows/viewers/timeline/etc (and it saves your layout, in your project too - which is quite useful!). But yeah, the dock on the side is Unity/GS-ish - very handy for quick access to things though (and your rooms are available via a drop-down menu, which is easy access as well).
i'm actually working on a screencast right now in lightworks, to showcase some software that i have contributed _core_ ideas to, a patch and done all of the initial testing for. I'm going to upload to youtube when i am done
it's an app called WiiMidi and is pretty powerful software (for interacting with wii controllers, in linux), with some cool features; like converting Wii signals into MIDI (including raw midi), being able to control visual feedback from the wii remote's LEDs (including animations per control+), mapping multiple controls to a single button (including being able to cycle between each), being able to switch midi channels 'globally' (which in my case, means i can map the same 12 + 15 buttons to control different functions, depending on the midi channel used - 16 channels X 27 buttons = 432 mappings! (not including 'cycles') It absolutely slaughters/dwarfs what you can do with Cwiid alone (which is the library that supports wii on linux).. ~ it can also be used to control your desktop (by converting midi to keystroke via aseqkey), which allows me to use my hacked wii controllers in Lightworks to control things, or i could map controls for my DE hotkeys, or any other app(s)
anyway, i digress But do give Cinnamon a try, it is killer! (and is smooth with Nvidia)Last edited by ninez; 15 December 2012, 12:47 PM.

This has nothing to do with cairo-opengl; nvidia in the past said they fixed the missing "gradient drawing" acceleration,that's why, some distros patched cairo to just rely on the cpu for that.
If i disable that patch, i get very slow scrolling; that's all.

anyway, I got an email last night with a new version (that supports the classic controller too), so i have to re-shoot parts of my screencast now. (but i don't care, since i wanted full classic controller support).
Originally posted by Pawlerson View PostThis simply looks amazing. I wasn't even aware something like this exists.
Originally posted by Pawlerson View PostThat for sure. I was looking for such DE.

btw, nice job!
