THIS PAGE IS DEPRECATED

use engage from http://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/trunk/E-MODULES-EXTRA/engage/ instead

this is an application launcher and taskbar based on the good old engage. I recommend using it with a comospiting manager and the detour theme, since it makes e's internal border icons zoom correctly.

if you want to use it with a composite manager you have to start the cm before the module is loaded (or reload the module after you started the composite manager).

it works pretty well without composite, but does not look as good ;) a mode to draw on the desktop is also available. so you'll get nice transparency but with less usability imho.. anyhow some people wished it

Recommend way to install:

if you got e17 from packages you'll need to install efl, e17 and xorg development (-dev) packages.

check out via svn or get the tarballs and unpack them.

svn checkout http://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/trunk/E-MODULES-EXTRA/itask-ng

(optional) if you got e17 via easy_e17.sh run

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/opt/e17/lib/pkgconfig
./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/e17

then

cd itask-ng
./autogen.sh
make
make install

(optional) start your prefered composite manager and run:

yea, you really should run a composite manager ;) start ecomorph, bling, xcompmgr, bang or whatever

enlightenment_remote -use-composite-set 1

load the module

to add an instance go to: Configuration Panel -> Extensions -> Itask NG-> Add

Troubleshooting:

- Problem: black window that takes a big part of the screen:

use a composite manager and enable compositing in e's settings -> advanced -> engine settings, then restart e. if you dont want to use a compositing manager disable compositing in e's settings

When I compile this module,there has this error: e_mod_main.h:54: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'Eina_List??'

It seems I can't install eina,but where i can get eina source ? HOW TO RESOLVE THIS COMPILE ERROR ?

To get this module compiling, use a script to build and install E17:

svn checkout http://e17mods.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/reasye17 sudo ./ReasyE17?.sh

After that itask-ng will compile and work like a breeze.

Another question, can this module use OpenGL, like http://www.cairo-dock.org ?

Hey! I've got a nasty "feature" - as soon as I make it go on top of other windows it just eats up 30% of screen and shows totally nothing there. How can I help you with debugging? I like the software, so I'd like to make it work..

Turn off composite.

Comment by xange...@gmail.com, Feb 17, 2010

I tried to compile the module but it gives me this:

e_mod_main.c:308: error: ‘PACKAGE’ no se declaró aquí (primer uso en esta función)

I'm running Fedora 12 with Kriehn's repository's packs.

Hi from México.. Well, i instaled this marvelous dock from my repository at http://packages.enlightenment.org/debian squeeze main extras.... and i got a trouble... The part of the screen where i put the itask ng bar, there is a black line in the background.... if i put my bar in the top if the screen, the line is put behind the bar... if i move bottom.... the lines goes too... what can i do? do you know how i can resolve this issue? thanks in advance..

Comment by ksen...@gmail.com, Oct 1, 2010

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. install easy_e17.sh (1.3.2) and also easy_e17_preview.sh 2. Or even installing per itask-module method 3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Should say INSTALLED instead I get: - itask-ng ................... make: ERROR! See attached log file.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Using aptosid kernel 2.6.35-5.slh.3-aptosid-686 svn of http://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/trunk/E-MODULES-EXTRA/itask-ng

Please provide any additional information below. ............ Trying to add as issue but the SUBMIT button is grayed out

but this line gives me "No such file or directory" ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/e17
