Description:
Splash Screen Engine for KDE
Heavily customizable engine for various types of themes


NEWS:
Thats it: I'll not continue writing code for this. I thought I would migrate it to KDE4, but i have to say that KDE4 isn't what i've expected.

Its not intuitive as it should be, ... but thats another topic currently i'm searching for a new desktop environment.

Independently I'will thank all people supporting this project in any way!!!

I have the same problem as one of the previous posters. When I log in I see the theme initially but then the background turns white, I can still see the icons but they are frozen. Then the desktop comes up with no other problems. Sometimes I only see a small blue box in the middle of the screen with the text underneath it 'loading window manager' etc. For me this seems to be associated with the starting of compiz-fusion. I haven't managed to find a solution anywhere.

Hi There seem to be a mirror for the file at: http://mirrors.ludost.net/gentoo/distfiles/ksplash-engine-moodin_0.4.2.tar.gz Hope you get your site back Moodrod. Moodin is a really nice piece of work.

original site still out thanks for the mirror

The moodin plugin is great! I was easily able to install moodin to my newest debian laptop using: "apt-get install ksplash-engine-moodin" however, i'm not sure what version it installs. How can I check?

After installing Moodin, when I set a non-Moodin theme, it just shows a blue block that fills up and then logs in, no matter which theme I choose. This happens still after I deinstall Moodin. Even worse, when I choose a Moodin theme, it always uses the same theme (which is not even in the list). Any ideas how to fix this?

I have always loved moodin. But I have also always thought that flashing icons on a splash were kind of tacky. What are the chances of adding the ability to do a progress bar or a small animation into the functionality? What do other moodin users think? Thanks!

I haven't been able to download this for a few days. Looks like http://moodwrod.com is not around anymore? Is there anywhere else that the moodin engine can be downloaded from?

Will it be possible to have more than eight ImageCoords in the future?

hello, I'm fairly new to linux and every time I go to install the app I get through the ./configure and I try to do make and I get errors, then I try to do make install and I'm not getting anywhere, can someone please help? I would post the error messages but I think it would be too long.

clearthought

if you switched to package-based system, you wouldn't have to ./configure & make install anything, just download compiled package files (.rpm) and install them i think it's easier that way if you are new to linux.

moodwrod, hi yesterday I installed moodin successfully and everything seemed to work find. I can test the themes in kcontrol and they seem to work fine (except from the little redraw problem when exiting testing mode). After rebooting the splashscreen doesn´t show up correctly. The background image doesn´t show up (white background) and the icons don´t redraw correctly. This seems to be a problem with Xgl. Any ideas? Thanks, lizzard

I typed ./configure but I get the following mesage: installing moodin checking for KDE... configure: error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. So, check this please and use another prefix! Where can I find KDE headers?

You must have installed "kde" package
