Please explain exactly what you did to Wbar to get the backbar in perspective like that. Enquiring minds want to know!
Here's what I did to get that perspective look on my Wbar's backbar.
Go to: usr/share/wbar/wbar.icons
Open the osxbarback.png (yours may be called "barback.png") with
Gimp.
Note: Make a copy of this file before you mod it and put it somewhere safe in case something gets screwy.
Once you open the file,choose the
Perspective tool (looks like a blue trapezoid) and click on the image. You should now see "handles" at the four corners of the image.Use them to tweek the image until you achieve the desired effect (the image has a checkered grid in the background,use it as a guide). There will be a pop up window showing you numerical values of what you have done.Click the
Transform button to apply your changes.Now save the file (it will save to the right folder unless you moved it).Note: At this point a dialog box will appear asking you to
Export the file.Just go ahead and click the
Export button.Quit Gimp,restart X server,and "Shazam"! Fancy OS X like Wbar!
Note: I have the -balfa value set to 85 in my .xinitrc doc.
Or I can post a copy of the file and you can replace it yourself
.
prit1: The backbar in your screenshot looks like the backbar that Dreamlinux uses by default in the dock app.I am not sure if it is Wbar or something else.I was thinking about grabing a copy of the backbar png. file from my Dreamlinux CD and giving it a whirl in my Teen Pup.I'll keep you all posted.
BTW: In Dreamlinux,the dock icons are animated to great effect with cool prefs such as Spin,Bounce,Bloat,Glow,and Fade. It is some serious eye candy
