Minor Release: TweakEEE Beta 0.2.1
February 18th, 2008

Latest Version (0.4.1)

[Update Oct 1, 2008] If you found this application useful then please donate. I would like to develop a TweakEEE application for the eeepc 901/1000H (atom based) linux versions, so by donating you could help me save enough for an eeepc 901/1000H. (Donate button on the right Navigation bar)[End Update]

Old Release

**WARNING (versions less than 0.2.3)** Don’t use the Change Computer Name: feature of the program. A member reported that it might be the culprit that causes a minor error about DCOP to popup. All other functionality should be fine. I will look into this and attempt to fix it when I get home.

Small update. Added the clock format, so it now works. The other update is a nice task bar tray background color picker. See the screen shot below. I think I’m pretty much done with all of the themes configuration, aside from the fact of adding more, which I can easily do. My next goal will probably be some sort of Repos addition, and then program installation. I’m still thinking how I will conquer this and make it user friendly, so it may take a bit of time.

TweakEEE Tray Color Picker Preview


Feature Updates/Fixes:

  • Icons directory wasn’t being made upon the initial enabling of a new theme, only after you re-enable it then the icons were being copied over.
  • Added a Taskbar Tray Background Color Selector. Basically I noticed that the System Tray icons would use the default gray for their background. I prefer to select a color that matches the themes. This color selector is easy, and changes the color instantaneously once you choose a color and select okay. See the screenshot below.
  • Added the Clock Format changer, so now your date in the taskbar can be set to one of 5 pre chosen formats.
  • Fixed some of the deb package installation scripts. I’m still getting the hang of making deb packages :).

For installation instructions see previous Major Release Post


Thanks:
A Thanks goes out to eeeuser community. If it weren’t for them this program would have never been made. Also a special thanks goes out to SublimePorte of eeeuser community. I asked him a variety of questions about installers, deb packages, and some shell scripting stuff as well. Another Thanks to Zinni from ZinniDesigns, who created a nice looking Theme package which is used in the program (beta version 0.2+).

Marf, I have two workspaces enabled, but there is a problem. The tabs and Icons display in only one of my workspaces. This isn’t always the case, but is so more often than not.

Any idea why the tabs and icons are missing?

Thanks.

Yes. This is just a known fact about asuslauncher, where it can Sometimes fail to load. Not a problem with TweakEEE, but you can get it back simply. Open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t)
enter this command: reloadalgnoprompt
This won’t close any of your programs don’t worry, it just restarts ALG, and hopefully the tabs will be there. If not restart it again. It’s just something we have to put up with, minor imperfection with asuslauncher, but not a big hassle.

Marf, “reloadalgnoprompt” worked like a charm. Thanks for your help. And really, TweakEEE is an excelent application.
