Better Compositor for Xfce!

See here http://www.aqd.ath.cx/
- Make all windows transparent, and background windows are less opaque than the frontend one.
- Titlebar and window edges get more transparency.
- Remove overlapped part from shadow.
Tested with nVidia driver 1.0.7676 and xorg cvs snapshot 2005/9/25, GeForce FX5500
Binary here: http://www.aqd.ath.cx/stuff-linux/ (built with gtk 2.8 )
PS: The xfwm snapshot I use has been removed from the official web-site. You would have to merge the patch manually if you want it with recent svn snapshots.

It's as fast as a desktop with shadow but no transparency.
However, without nvidia driver and RenderAccel it would be too damned slow to be usable.

Is After Effects a better option for Chroma???

Hi all,
For some time I have not been happy with the quality of our finished chroma key output. I am using a green screen, professional lighting and camera operator, as well as Color Smoother, 8 Point Garbage Matte etc etc
In a previous life I used After Effects with its KEYLIGHT plug in - which seems to be one pretty powerful Chroma Keyer. While I am happy enough in FCP - I just don't feel MOTION comes near AE.
I am committed to FCP permanently but was thinking of going back to AE over MOTION as a lot of our work is green screen based.
Any thing I am missing before I blow the cash on AE?
Thanks all,
JD

Absolutely. If you're getting AE from a bundle and you need Photoshop and Illustrator then you'll get a good product with AE, but it should not be the goal. Shake is now just a cheap and still one of the best compositors out there. Bare in mind that Jackson used Shake to composite Lord of the Rings, and King Kong. Nobody can say that was an OK job, if only they had a better program for the compositing. You will have to learn a new interface type. AE, Final Cut, Motion, and Photoshop are all layer based apps, and shake is node based, much like Color. It's a great way to work once you get it, so spend the time to really familiarize yourself with the style. I highly recommend Shake.

Beta drivers for Audigy2

Well, the title says what I'm looking for, but here's my problem:
I had installed Quake4, and was playing fine. After I had finished the game, I went to update my drivers (finally,) and noticed that I was running my NX on generic windows drivers. I updated all the drivers, mediasource, etc... (along with some other housekeeping updates,) and I now can no longer open the game.
I've already eliminated the video card update as the problem, and I honestly don't know of a way to eliminate a bios update issue, however, I HIGHLY doubt that is the culprit. After some discussions in the quake disc. boards, I sence that there is a problem with the creative drivers. I have been told that most people are getting success by using the latest beta drivers, and I was linked to a file called "SBA2_PCDrvBeta_LB_2_08_0002.exe" However, when I try to run that file, I'm told that "Setup is unable to detect a supported device on your system..." As the title says Audigy2/ZS, Audigy 4, I'm thinking these are the wrong beta drivers for my device, but I can't find beta drivers for the Audigy2 NX USB
Help? Thanks...

I have tried re-installing, that isn't working. I'm also hearing that people are having success when installing the OpenAL libs....
I've been trying to get this file: http://developer.creative.com/articl...&top=38&aid=46 however, whenever I try to d/l the file I time-out to a "page unavail." error... Is there some server error at creative? ...or, does anyone know of a mirror server?
The file I'm looking for is: OpenALwEAX.exe

Which is better software for brochures and PDF forms ? Photoshop or InDesign ?

Which is better software for brochures and PDF forms ? Photoshop or InDesign ? and why ?

If you are going to be making a lot of brochures, with photos, you probably want both. Photoshop to edit the photos, and InDesign to assemble and layout images with text.

Call upon even better support for Unicode

Hello
Following some messages I have posted regarding problems I encountered while developing a non-English web application, I would like to call upon an even better support for Unicode. Before I describe my call, I want to say that I consider Berkeley DBXML a superb product. Superb. It lets us develop very clean and maintainable applications. Maintainability is, in my view, the keyword in good software development practices.
In this message I would like to remind you that the US-ASCII 8-bit set of characters only represents 0.4% of all characters in the world. It is also true to say that most of our software comes from efforts of American developers, for which I am of course very grateful.
But problems with non US-ASCII characters are very very time consuming to solve. To start with, our operating systems need to be configured especially for unicode, our servers too, our development tools too, our source code too and, finally, our data too. That's a lot of configuring, isn't it? Believe me, as a Flemish french-speaking, danish-speaking developer who develops currently a new application in Portuguese, I know what I am talking about.
Have you ever tried to write a Java class called Ação.java, that loads an xml instance called Ação.xml that contains something like <?xml version="1.0" charset="utf-8"?></ação variável="descrição"/>? It takes at least the double of time to have all this work right in a web application on a Linux server than it would take to write a Acao.java that loads Acao.xml containing <?xml version="1.0" charset="us-ascii"?></acao variavel="descricao"/> (which is clearly something we do not want in Portugal).
I have experienced a problem while using the dbxml shell to load documents that have utf-8 encoded names. See difficulties retrieving documents with non ascii characters in name The work around is not to use the dbxml shell, with which I am of course not very happy.
So, while trying not to be arrogant and while trying to express my very very great appreciation for this great product, I call upon even better support for Unicode. After all, when the rest of us, that use another 65279 characters in our software, will be able to use this great product without problems, will it not contribute to the success of Berkeley DBXML?
Thank you
Koen

Hello John and thank you for replying,
You are completely correct that it is a shell problem. I investigated and found solutions for running dbxml in a Linux shell. On Windows, as one could expect, no solution so far.
Here is an overview of my investigation, which I hope will be useful for other developers which also presist writing code and xml in their language.
difficulties retrieving documents with non ascii characters in name
I was wondering though if it would not be possible to write the dbxml shell in such a way that it becomes independent from the encoding of the shell. Surely their must be, not? Rewrite dbxml in Java? Any candidates :-) ?
Thanks again for the very good work,
Koen

Preview for XFCE Panel Window Buttons?

In Windows 7 taskbar, theres a useful feature where mouse over taskbar icons (window buttons) will show a preview of the window, is there something like that for XFCE? Its veryuseful especially when I have many PDF open and all icons look like a black piece of paper ...

If you use compiz fusion as your window manager, then yes. It has a realtime preview function (and has had for years prior to win7). xfwm doesn't.

Beta available for older Mac's ?

I see there is a Safari for those who have Windows, but those who have the older Macs are unable to update to the newest Safari?
Why is this?
And is there a free beta release for those with an older mac ?

Sad that this is the case, and it doesn't explain the "why" of it... but perhaps it is like many things in life, where we have to wait until we get to Heaven to understand the difficult questions in life. haha
Anyhow... I suppose I will live... or just use Firefox.
Have a wonderful week!

Logic needs a better integration for hardware sinthesizers like Emagic - SoundDiver was!

I work with a community of about 50 logic users in Germany and nearly all of them love to use some of the old hardware machines from Roland, Korg, Akai and so on.
In the past there was a program from Emagic called "SoundDiver". Sound Diver was a program who integrated all well known hardware synthesizers in to logic that a logic user was able to edit (with read, write, automation!!) the programs and sounds in SoundDiver and Logic.
SoundDiver was the bridge between Logic and the hardware synthesizers. Especially for the old hardware with midi function was SoundDiver the best program on the market to integrate your hardware in to logic.
The most important point was that SoundDiver did all this great work by saving time for us as Logic user.
Our Logic User community agrees that Logic Studio 10 needs a better integration for hardware Synthesizers and especially for the old ones. SoundDiver was the best feature for this.
Apple: Please integrate the Sound Diver in to Logic 10!!! You will see, all professional and semi professional users will love it and you will have a big benefit in comparison to Cubase and ProTools.
The current way to work with logic and hardware synthesizers needs to much time and it is not ideal.

Sound diver was really cool, but it's not working in modern OS. If Apple will try to add it's functionallity , it has to rewrite this soft completely. But even in this case they could not support a big variety of old hardware. I would be happy if I have a little bit more functions in external midi instrument track. I also tried to replace Sound Diver with MIDI Quest AU plugin, but it does not work well with my old Virus.
