Desktop screenshot thread! Options

now that.................

brings a tear to my eyes.

I know the feeling Sadly these screenshots can't show off all the animations and other eyecandy

Anyways, there's still a loooong way to go for a useable release of OZ/E17 (if there will ever be one)
Currently it's just sitting there and looking (damn) good.

The current image size is ~50MB uncompressed (ext2) which is a problem for
devices with <128MB of flash. However, the work on it has just begun and we may be able to shave off a few MB's.

Oh, and while FireFox sure is sweet, it isn't really useable. It's a slow memory hog which pulls down the whole system when running. Ok, might have been a side-effect of of the way the rootfs was mounted (but I highly doubt it).

enlightenment? eeesh! never thought it would look so good after many tries of ugly desktop environments for it.

I really wish there were more linux users and developers diving into the zaurus line. I could'nt imagine what else can come of this. I do want to thank sharp(japan) to giving us something to look forward to.

thanks for the picks coredump. and i also wish you had more help in finishing this project.

you ever thought of making an installer were the core files can run off the internal and secondary files that arent dependent run of sd without needing to modify the sd to ext partition?

for example... make the image install to internal. the operating system is all that is needed with no basic anything for it to help it run unless you include kopi which needs to be installed internally since it runs all the time. Then have ipk's created and put out in a feed were people can download what they want and installable in sd.

my zaurus. i swear i have over 250mb excluding Qxt running on a 1gb sd. i can eject the card and not worry what is dependent to the main os which makes my ejecting card seemless.

is it possible? i think there is no need to have a openzaurus that will include everything. Just make the openzaurus with a system windows for configuration and network and also, installer. People can download konqueror, opera, mozilla, xmms as they please and install to sd.

Any way you could pass on your procedure for getting pdaXrom onto your 5500? I've been thinking of moving in that direction, but wasn't sure I had the hardware.
Thanks.

Most of these post are from the Zaurii with larger screens. Anyone got any more cool 5x00 screenshots?

This is my 5500, running tKc Rom;

Nice screenshots, chal. Good collection of programs, too.
I noticed Konqueror. I've recently somehow lost opera. Is it possible to run Konqueror on Sharp ROM?

Yeah it'll run on tKc. Not sure about the stock sharp, as I haven't used it in a while. It takes up a little less space than Opera. Some people have reported having problems with both of thes, but I had no problem with either. I'm not sure what the difference is in web browsing, because I only use it offline to view HTML Bibles and reference docs.

I'm not sure, but you may need the kmicrokdelibs. I already had KOPI installed when I installed Konqueror.

... oh and excuse the horizontal lines in some pictures... i dont know why they exist (but they are not from the zaurus... i cannot see them there. maybe it is because of the screenshot application). and also excuse the jpg low-quality. also the screenshots appear a lot darker than it is on the zaurus itself.

Please, please, please tell me this will run on the SL-5500s (OZ/Hentges)...I've been running Enlightenment since before the initial release (DR0.3) about 7 years ago. I would dearly love to have it on my Zaurus...

[Psion]

I'm up for that, too! Sweet Looking.

I'm still considering installing E17 on my linux box at home, but haven't decided if I want to take the plunge of possibly screwing anything up.

It should be possible to run on a 5500, though it will require some pruning to the flash image as even e-image-core comes out at about 30Mb (and e-image was c.80Mb iirc). You'll definitely need an ext2 formated SD/MMC/CF card handy

Wow... pdaXrom has come a long way since the last time I tried it. With Xfce and ROX, I finally can have a functional desktop on my pda- and killer apps to run on it. I used to have a lot of people tell me how cool my Zaurus was, but now when they see it running a real X desktop, their jaws drop. I've been working on a custom theme, it's come a long way but still has a bit of tweaking to do. I'm using the NOX (Noia on ROX) icon set, and a custom skin which was inspired by H20-gtk2-Saphire. I'll try to get the whole works bundled up for anyone who is interested. With pdaXrom as good as it is now, I have no reason to go back to the other ROMs.

Stuffman, What Z you have there? Seems you're using your Z a lot by the looks of what you got going on that desktop... have you run into any snags with pdaxrom? I've got a C3100 and really have to use it for work and what not so I've been leery about going to pdaxrom.
