So I finally got of my ass and decided to release something; after long deliberations I’ve decided that if I wait till it’s perfect… well it’ll never be out. So I present to the world Desktop Drapes 0.4.96 nicknamed “Still no Icon”.
While this version still has some kinks left in it (I’m sure), it should be relatively bug free (i hope). If drapes decides to take a dive, please try running drapes from a terminal and email me a backtrace (which it will spit out) of it crashing spectacularly. Better yet, summit a bug using the bug tracker at https://launchpad.net/products/drapes/+bugs.
For the time being I’m not adding any more features to drapes. I’m just fixing (any) remaining issues that stop it form getting stable and to 0.5. After that, I’ll be adding Avahi support (pr0n wallpapers over the office LAN), Dbus (jumping on the dbus bandwagon^W bus), RSS wallpaper feeds … the sky is the limit.
You can download it from the website: http://drapes.mindtouchsoftware.com tarballs and debs.
And ofcourse everyone likes prutty pictures so:

Hi,
I really like Desktop Drapes. I the 0.4.7 (I think) on one of my Ubuntu 6.06 PC, it works great. However I downloaded the 0.4.96 version and installed it on my other PC also running Ubuntu 6.06, I keep getting this error message
“The panel encountered a problem while loading “OAF11D:DrapesApplet”.
I also can’t launch Drapes by clicking on its icon. I wonder what is wrong?
The other thing is, I am wondering if it’s possible to have two different background on a dual monitor system?
Richard.
