Description: It aims to provide a handy frontend to manage xpenguins.
Obviously requires xpenguins (shiped in most distro or contrib) http://xpenguins.seul.org/
If no penguins appear on your desktop after you hit the launch button, go in KDE Control Center/LookNFeel/Behavior and make sure 'Allow programs in desktop window' is checked.
I'd be happy to get some feedback on the forum, so go ahead.
I've xpenguins installe in /usr, it's works well. Your applet is compiled, installed and aded to the panel, but i don't see it! I see only the applet's "hand".It doesn't depend on the installation method: both RPM and compiling give me the same result. What it means?
where do you guys get all those themes from? I only have two different size penguins, ol' Gates, a bunch of turtles, and afair that's pretty much it. No worms, no simpsons. standard debian package from unstable

I ran ./configure with absolutely no problems. It then told me to run make. So, I typed make. I got this: 'make: *** No rule to make target `../config.status', needed by `Makefile'. Stop. I tried running with -b and -k.. No luck... -k really freaks out: [root@ddal0213 Applet]# make -k make: *** No rule to make target `../config.status', needed by `Makefile'. make: Failed to remake makefile `Makefile'. if /bin/sh ../libtool --silent --mode=compile --tag=CXX g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/include/kde -I/usr/lib/qt-3.3/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -O2 -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -MT xpenguinsapplet.lo -MD -MP -MF ".deps/xpenguinsapplet.Tpo" \ -c -o xpenguinsapplet.lo `test -f 'xpenguinsapplet.cpp' || echo './'`xpenguinsapplet.cpp; \ then mv -f ".deps/xpenguinsapplet.Tpo" ".deps/xpenguinsapplet.Plo"; \ else rm -f ".deps/xpenguinsapplet.Tpo"; exit 1; \ fi /bin/sh: ../libtool: No such file or directory make: *** [xpenguinsapplet.lo] Error 1 if /bin/sh ../libtool --silent --mode=compile --tag=CXX g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/include/kde -I/usr/lib/qt-3.3/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -O2 -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -MT maindlg.lo -MD -MP -MF ".deps/maindlg.Tpo" \ -c -o maindlg.lo `test -f 'maindlg.cpp' || echo './'`maindlg.cpp; \ then mv -f ".deps/maindlg.Tpo" ".deps/maindlg.Plo"; \ else rm -f ".deps/maindlg.Tpo"; exit 1; \ fi /bin/sh: ../libtool: No such file or directory make: *** [maindlg.lo] Error 1 make: Target `all' not remade because of errors. Sorry for the long post... I'm sure there's some sort of rule about that, that I don't know.
cool applet ;-) with the worms 8-)

here http://xpenguins.seul.org/ you just have to untar this file into your config dir (usually /usr/share/xpenguins/) http://xpenguins.seul.org/xpenguins_themes-1.0.tar.gz
could it be, that the tar-file contains the sources two times?
yes they did thx, i posted a correct archive (shoudln't have cause any pb though).
Hi there, it looks like a nice applet but i got this error during compiling (Slackware 10.1, KDE 3.4.2, qt-3.3.3-i486-3): maindlg.cpp: In member function `virtual void mainDlg::slotErr(KProcess*, char*, int)': maindlg.cpp:84: error: no matching function for call to `KMessageBox::error( mainDlg* const, std::string&, const char[6])' /opt/kde/include/kmessagebox.h:604: error: candidates are: static void KMessageBox::error(QWidget*, const QString&, const QString&, int) maindlg.cpp: In member function `virtual void mainDlg::slotPopulateTheme(KProcess*, char*, int)': maindlg.cpp:95: error: no matching function for call to `KListBox::insertItem( std::string&)' /usr/lib/qt/include/qlistbox.h:91: error: candidates are: void QListBox::insertItem(const QListBoxItem*, int) /usr/lib/qt/include/qlistbox.h:92: error: void QListBox::insertItem(const QListBoxItem*, const QListBoxItem*) /usr/lib/qt/include/qlistbox.h:93: error: void QListBox::insertItem(const QString&, int) /usr/lib/qt/include/qlistbox.h:94: error: void QListBox::insertItem(const QPixmap&, int) /usr/lib/qt/include/qlistbox.h:95: error: void QListBox::insertItem(const QPixmap&, const QString&, int) maindlg.cpp:89: warning: unused parameter `int l' make[2]: *** [maindlg.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/freefred/Desktop/xpenguinsapplet-0.1/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/freefred/Desktop/xpenguinsapplet-0.1' make: *** [all] Error 2 thanks bye
try with the following archive i might have spotted what's wrong. (but you will probably get some errors again) http://wse.free.fr/xpenguinsapplet-0.1.test.tar.gz
Nice applet, thanks
