Eye candy for MIDP

Hi all,
Has anyone used anything to make nice-looking interfaces? Something like J2MEPolish, Fire, or anything else?
TIA

As far as eye-candy goes, you can't go wrong with xcompmgr and awn.
Though my definition of "eye-candy" has evolved (devolved?) over some time, and now I'm pretty sure my shortlist involves conky and that's it. Dzen if you're on xmonad, etc.

Eye-candy for openbox?

I want to try OpenBox, and was curious what eye-candy people suggested. From the screenshots in the art section I often see the following apps used with OpenBox: awn wbar fbpanel tint pypanel conky
I like a lean system, but would also like to be able to tweak the UI and make it fun to use.

Is there a Eye Candy 4000 plug in for Fireworks CS5?

I am in great need of plug ins like the Eye Candy 4000 that was with the Macromedia Fireworks 8 program. If anyone know of where I may locate and download such a set of plug ins please be the grace of the Gods let me know.
I am hoping that Adobe Fireworks is as good as the Macromedia Fireworks 8 but I just do not have the plug ins I so badly need.
Thank you for any help the community can send me.

The latest version is EyeCandy 6. EyeCandy 4000 does not work with Fireworks CS5.

Disabling interface animations and eye-candy

Is there any way to disable the interface animations and eye-candy in Aperture. I particularly want to disable the animations that play on stacks. Opening, closing, and sorting of stacks. They are sooooo slow with stacks of 30+ images. Especially when using keyboard commands to quickly perform multiple commands on a stack — it will start to play 2 or 3 animations on top of each other and it grinds the app to a halt.

Amen, brother!
It would be fine to have all the spinning, swooshing, eye candy if the basic program ran well. But it's so sluggish, and there are so many performance issues on such a wide variety of hardware (just peruse the topic titles here if you have any doubt) that it's completely exasperating to have to wait for all the eye candy to execute before the program can actually do what you're asking of it.
I've learned not to use stacks or smart albums (even touching these brings my Dualie 2.5 ghz G5 to its knees, spod city...) but there are a number of animations you trigger just in use. Would be interesting to see if turning them off speeds up the programs core functions...

Remote performance and "eye candy"

Hello.
I am still on Tiger, and have not jumped to Leopard because I spend a lot of time remoting into my machine from work. My husband, who has Leopard, is always complaining about how his system is virtually unusable because the performance is so bad while waiting for all the Leopard "eye candy" to draw. He's tried my system from his work, and it's much much faster.
Any way to disable the "eye candy" like drop shadows and reflections and such so that remoting goes faster?
Thanks.

What VNC server?
What VNC Client?
I have found that the Leopard to Leopard provided Server/Client combo to be very efficient over an internet connection.
However, I've found that using A Leopard Server with a 3rd party Client, or a 3rd party server and a Leopard Client (aka Screen Sharing.app) has not been very fast.
The JollysFastVNC client is actually fairly good for a 3rd party client.
Using all 3rd party VNC components, I have found that using the Vine Server (aka OSXvnc) and Chicken of the VNC WITH CotVNC set to use only 8 bit color (or even 16 bit color) to be fairly good over a slow DSL connection between my Mom's system and myself. Of course I'm not interested in fantastic color from my Mom's system. I'm just trying to do admin tasks without driving 300 miles one way.
I also use Vine Server and Chicken of the VNC between home and my work system using lower color density. It is servicable, although I prefer to just pull the needed files to my MacBook and work locally, then push the results back.

Chrome effects like eye candy

Hi, i'm the owner and creator of 2cooldesign.co.za & tshirtprinting.co.za & have come across a little issue, i had CS4 and upgraded to CS6 and the eye candy i have doesn't install onto CS6 and want to create a cool chrome effect with the eye candy plug-in.. any suggestions for free plug-in or effect that can offer same results, this is for a cool t-shirt design

Could you not word things so annoyingly?
Your post started out well enough then bleeded into what I would expect from a mandrake lover defending his love of KDE.
Short of that I found the "article" little more than the same old ramblings of an insane GNOME user going on about the linux desktop "situation".
I can't help but have a laugh every time I read these little rants and continue to hope they just "go away".
I bet in about 5 years we'll be reading about how HURD is the next big thing but just not "newb" friendly enough and/or doesn't look as good as it could.

Visual effects "eye candy" is way too slow! love t...

why? oh why Nokia? please offer a way to turn OFF THE VISUAL GARBAGE! I am a nokia fan because of the speed and efficiency of your software NOT EYE CANDY! I have dumped a cell carrier costing me $1000's for 5 phone lines to be with you on tmobile! and you dont even have 3g support for them! I WOULD BUY ALL E63'S EXCEPT THE E72 HAS OVI MAPS AND more memory, faster processor and way better looks! except of course for the 'eye candy'! GET RID OF IT! MAKE YOUR DEVICES EFFICIENT! It is going to win in the real world, every time if you combine it with FEATURES like you are doing better than most!

thanks. I have spent weeks working thru all these settings to make this work. Now all I need to do is to figure out how to have the ui stop popping up messages such as prompting to connect to the inet? and why cant I simply choose when I want to connect to which inet connection??

Imagenomic Portraiture - Eye Candy & Photo Tools Conflict?

Hello, I'm running PS CS5 64 bit/Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I rely heavily on Imagenomic Portraiture Plug-In, but since installing 64 bit Photoshop on 64 bit Windows I have not been able to use Eye Candy or Photo Tools. With Portraiture installed, installing either Eye Candy or Photo Tools causes Photoshop to crash on opening. I have searched this forum and the Internet in general but have not seen anything on this. I had a fairly long thread going with an Alien Skin rep who stated:
Jim White, Mar-11 16:08 (EST):
Yes. There is a bug in their plug-in that fails to correctly isolate the plug-ins from one another. They addressed this in the 32-bit version with an update, but last time I checked they had not updated the 64-bit versions. I sent a couple of emails to them but never received a response. You can check to make sure that is the problem by dragging their plug-in out onto the desktop, restarting Photoshop, and trying our program again.
I made the problem go away by doing his test. I have not posted to Imagenomic yet (they are next) but have searched their forum and have not seen anything about this conflict. I have the latest Portraiture version which is many moons old.
Has anybody here dealt with this conflict? Is this the right place to post this subject? I don't see anything about plug-ins here.
Thanks - Dave

That is counterintuitive. I suspect you uncheck this box but with other ramifications.
As I understand it, with natural scrolling the paradigm is that you are directly manipulating the content as opposed to manipulating the scroll bar. That is why you do a two fingered drag from the bottom of a trackpad to the top in order to scroll towards the bottom of the page. Similarly, if the app supports it, when you swipe from left to right you should get the previous page (this works in safari). If the app doesn't support the two finger swipe gesture you have to use the three finger swipe. Unfortunately, the swipe direction is in the opposite direction. In order to go back a page you need to swipe from left to right.
You said: "That is counterintuitive. I suspect you uncheck this box but with other ramifications."
Apart from being grammatically incorrect, the statement seems to indicate an incomplete understanding on your part of natural scrolling.
The three finger swipe utilizes the old (unnatural) scroll paradigm. What I want is a way to make the three finger swipe (for apps that do not support the two finger gesture) conform to the natural paradigm.
Any suggestions?

I'm not sure I followed your description of the problem. It

way you
expect it to, look for an unclosed path.

KDE Eye Candy

Hello all you KDE users!
I want to put together a temporary KDE Eye Candy repository with a view to adding all the pkgs to the AUR and then to [community] for the most popular. Some pkgs already exist in AUR but I want to tidy them up and standardize them. The name should depnd on kde-look classification. I am proposing the following names for KDE Eye Candy pkgs:
kdedecor-$name - for kwin decor pkgs
kdestyle-$name - for styles/themes
kdeicons-$name - for icon pkgs
kdesplash-$name - for splash screens
I will collate all existing pkgs with new naming schemes into a temporary repo - from there we will move them back to the AUR.
We also need to figure out exactly what the dependecies are: kdelibs, qt, kdeartwork...what?!
Hope to get some willing contributors!

Installing Eye Candy 5 Impact

Whenever I try to install Eye Candy 5 Impact on a mini I get the following error:
You cannot open the application "EyeCandy 5 Impact.app" because it is not supported on this architecture"
Anyone shed any light on this ?

It's for the X86 version of Mac OS X.

Eye Candy Buttons

I had version 3 of Eye Candy, then moved to Eye Candy 4000. When doing some of the emboss commands with the Buttons feature, I always went back to the version 3 effects because they were quicker and more intuitive. Neither of them work on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine, so I bought Eye Candy 6. I am have a lot of trouble duplicating the same bevel effects in the new version and am now looking for a plug-in that works much like the old Eye Candy 3. Version 6 takes three screens to adjust what used to take only 1. I know I can use the Bevel and Emboss layer effect in Photoshop, but I still like the way Eye Candy handled it.
Does anyone know of a similar product?
Thanks in advance,
M. Jackson

Eye Candy plugins, all of a sudden, don't work anymore...

I have FW CS5 on Windows 7 (64 bit). I have been using various Eye Candy plugins (by Alien Skin) for about a year, and they worked fine. But yesterday, seemingly for no reason, they all stopped working (Eye Candy 5 [Impact, Nature, Textures], Image Doctor, Xenofex 2). When I access them via the Properties panel, and I click on one of them, nothing happens. And when I access them via the drop-down menu at the top of the UI, under Filters, I get an error message: "Could not complete your request. An internal error occurred."
I have tried re-installing the plugins and FW, but that didn't change anything. I deleted the preferences and that didn't help either. All my other plugins work fine. Any ideas?

Thanks for posting. We had to discontinue support for Fireworks due to multiple issues caused by the Live Effects. At this time we do not have any plans to bring back support for Fireworks, but that could change. I can not make any promises on that matter though. If you are on a Windows computer, you stand a better chance at getting it to work than if you are on a Mac, but still, the success rate on Windows is about 50%.
Since the gold standard for plug-ins is Photoshop compatiblity, Fireworks should in theory handle them. Since it won't it's likely Adobe has either inadvertently broken something, or they are only allowing older plugins to run. Since we are always updating and using the latest versions of software to create out plug-ins, this creates an extra layer of possible problems. Eitherway, complaining to Adobe in mass, would be the best route to take. Im sure it seems like the requests go into a void, but if you get a lot of people asking for the same thing, you may get a response.
Rest assured, if we ever decided to bring back Fireworks support, we will scream it from the top of every mountain.
If you don't mind me asking, what other plug-ins do people use in Fireworks, besides Eye Candy?

Alien Skin Eye Candy 7 incompatible with Fireworks - when will this be fixed?

Alien Skin Eye Candy 6 worked fine with my Fireworks CS4. Then Alien Skin updated me to Eye Candy 7. While Eye Candy pops up and looks beautiful, even showcasing the effects within the screen, once I hit "OK", it crashes. I already complained to Alien Skin but they say it is an Adobe issues. I uninstalled Eye Candy and reinstalled it as 32-bit only in the 32-bit version of Photoshop CS4, and again it works fine in Photoshop and looks great in Fireworks, once I hit "OK" it crashes again. My boss is now pissed because basically the effects are not usable except in Photoshop, and we use primarily Fireworks. What will be done about this? The Alien Skin site says this: "I completely understand your disappointment with the lack of Fireworks support. Due to the multiple changes made by Adobe, it has become prohibitively difficult to maintain Fireworks compatibility. For this reason we had to drop support for this program." There are many people complaining about this but what is the solution? I cannot randomly start using Photoshop esp when most of my files are in PNG format, and right now it is just wasted money and extremely frustrating.

When I responded to your initial forum post on the Adobe forums, I was not 100% accurate. Eye Candy 7 does support the 32-bit Carbon API. Fireworks and Elements are both Carbon apps. However plug-in support for Fireworks is not near as good as the plug-in support for Elements. The plug-in API in Fireworks needs to be updated and improved before Fireworks will work with Eye Candy 7.
I completely understand your frustration, and if you would like a refund, I would be more than happy to process it for you. Just email me at [email protected] There, I can process your request. Again, I apologize for the trouble, and wish there was more we could do to resolve this issue for you.
In regards to Eye Candy 6, If you submit a support ticket as mentioned above, and I will do everything I can to get you up and running in Fireworks with Eye Candy 6.
Question: Are you running Windows or Mac?
