Hi! Having succesfully configured *some* options for Hari Nairs Xplanet = (http://xplanet.sourceforge.net/) under KDE 3.4 SuSE Linux 9.3 KDE = Control Center Appearance & Themes Background Background program, I = would like to ask the following question: How can I tweak KDE background handler further. It clearly takes some = parameters in from the background program Advanced = Options/xplanet/Modify options, for example my Earth map is now seen = from the moon, a label for this is drawn and the globe is in the right = edge of my display (--num_times 1 --geometry %xx%y --label --fontsize = 16 --origin moon --center +1250+500 --output %f.jpg && mv %f.jpg %f) However, the most beneficial option for me would be to enable the = drawing of cloud maps on top of the image too. This might be enabled in = SuSE at /usr/share/xplanet/config/default file, but I don't think that = KDE background handler reads this, does it? As the fetching of cloud = maps requires running of some scripts = (http://www.number.ch/wiki/index.php/XplanetClouds) is it possible to = make the KDE background handler to run these too at the intervals it = runs the xplanet? How? This might seem a bit off the topic for look and feel, but I guarantee = you that making this program easy to run with options will draw more and = more geeks and astronomy/geography/weather enthusiasts using KDE, as the = information of day/nighttime and weather can be seen as desktop = background at all times. Yours sincerely and grateful for answers/and/or further information Manne Laukkanen Helsinki Finland
