Well figured I’d post an update how things are goign, with drapes that is. The app is fairly complete, what’s missing from the app code is inotify goodness, and a couple other polish type things. Starttup is near instant now, files are lazy loaded ditto for thumbnail generation, it’s very smart how it goes about. I’ve also made the config window taller, so we can fit more windows wallpapers in the treeview. There is some autotools stuff present. Other stuff not listed is done/fixed too. Oh, before I forget we are also version controlled too, check out the “Getting Drapes” on the right side of the page.
What’s needs to be done:
- Icon, yes WE NEED AN ICON PLZ.
- fixup the rest of autotools stuff (we hates you autotools, we hates you) — Andrew is making fixes.
- inotify hotness.
- help file, a shiny help file that integrates with the other gnome help and use Yelp.
- packages — jorge is working on the ubuntu/debian setup.
- gconf schema
- man page — we know Richard Stallman hates em and wants us to use info, but just like Stallman we don’t give into peer presure!
Besides inotify it’s all polish now…
Also in other good news turns out that the Gtk# that ships with Dapper has that Gnome# Mimebug fixed, yay!

Does Drapes support fading from one wallpaper to another? Does it run well under a compositing manager such as compiz? You should make a release and post it on gnome-files.org.
Looks good!
Fading is not supported (yet), however it is possible but it would require a patch to nautilus to get working. It works just fone with compiz and such. I’m in the process of fixing a number of things; rest asured that one this is done i’ll make a release (real soon now TM).
