Post a screenshot of what youâre doing in Haiku!
Please post only thumbnails or links.
Youâre welcome to talk about what youâre currently working on in the screenshot. If you have a particulary neat configuration or wallpaper, please tell us about it! Especially welcome are screenshots where you were doing something that caused you to say âWow, Haiku is really coming along nicely as a full featured desktop operating systemâ.
I spent all evening working on my first Haiku GUI application, and learning a lot about the Haiku API. I used Paladin, Pe, and git for my programming. In other desktops, I have WebPositive loaded with Gmail, Caya logged in with my four IM accounts, and PoorMan hosting my personal files.
Also nice idea for this thread, since I know you like the Arch forums I can tell the similarity to their monthly screenshot threads.
Unfortunately I donât have a decent screenshot at the moment, but Iâll try to take one this week and post it here. Iâve wanted to see some peopleâs Haiku screenshots/setups for a while, I just never managed to start this sort of forum topic for it.
@augiedoggie: I love Beezer, great to see you working on it. Do you implement vector icons? Need help creating some (not that Iâm that good at it, but often itâs easier to work with mediocre first attempts than to come up with it all from scratch (though one would try to lift as much as possible from existing icons of course))?
@ Giovanni: Whatâs that calender app on the desktop? Seeing it in the Deskbar and missing itâs handle, itâs not a Replicant apparently. Can it be âreplicantedâ?
Not a screenshot but a activity that I simply canât do under lastest Ubuntu with that Asus Eee PC 1005HA netbook http://ubuntuone.com/3nEFHMJArRHDcq7nAXan2P (mp4 video / ~5MB)
Running emacs while working on the source code for Beezer :D[/quote]
Yes! As was already requested, how did you change the Deskbar icon to the Haiku logo?
Seriously, I think having it be the Haiku logo makes much more sense than a blue leaf. I always (and by âalwaysâ I mean âtwiceâ) seem to run into the situation where Iâm guiding someone in Haiku and Iâll say âClick on the leaf menuâ and theyâll be like âThe what?â and then I remember that I canât blame them for not understanding me because there are no blue leaves that are shaped like feathers in nature.
What bittorrent and chat application do you use? Actually, I pretty much want to know what all of those desktop icons link to.
emacs
I believe I responded to the other thread about emacs. I have a slightly older version running(23.3?) that I havenât added to the ports repository yet. The latest dev branch is having runtime issues that I havenât investigated.
Beezer
The current status is that itâs as functional as it was on BeOS. Iâve fixed a few bugs along the way and started converting some of the windows to the layout kit. If someone wants to contribute vector icons(or anything else) they are more than welcome.
DeskbarWeather
This is just something I was toying around with. There are still many improvements to make on it. The repository is at https://bitbucket.org/cpr/dbweather
The Deskbar logo
This is just an image from the Haiku repository that was resized. Then itâs just a matter of replacing the appropriate resource in Deskbar. I have a patch that you can apply when building Haiku but it is also possible to replace the resource in an already built system. The patch I use is at http://pastebin.com/wQCk5AdF

QBittorrent for bittorrent and Psi+ for chat. Is more stable and complete than Caya: it support (via jabber servers) a lot of services, avatars, detailed profile, offline messages and is fully configurable.
âScythiaâ is an ftp manager (QT)
âCdToMp3Ripperâ: http://haikuware.com/directory/view-details/multimedia/audio/mp3-endoding-utilities/cd-to-mp3-ripper
âGamesâ is a script that open âfilepanelâ to a folder where i placed links to games (and emulators too)
âPlayerâ is a script that use mplayer.

Oh, man, I totally got it. Thank you! http://ompldr.org/vZWdoYQ
Currently running Haiku on my Thinkpad X40, works great. WIFI works (atheros chip), just waiting for the WPA2 to work once alpha4 comes. Does Koffice work on Alpha 3? I wanna see how it does with office documents.
As iâve said few posts ago, iâm using Psi+. Psi+ uses jabber servers (for example jabber.rueckgr.at), and with jabber you can use a lot of services (called transport): msn, google talk, yahoo, Facebook, etc⌠etcâŚ
