Just run make, that's all. - -Installation: - Well, place a ready binary where you want. - -A short review: - - -Habak is using layers. The lowest layer is just a black screen. -On this you can place other objects, called habaks. There are -three kinds of habaks: graphic files (images), fonts and "internal objects" -(internals). Wallaper is created by putting on a black screen -one or more habaks. An order of habaks in command line is an order -of putting them on desktop, so the last habak will be drawed above -previous habaks. - -Kinds of habaks: - - -Files (images) are included by -i option, ie: - -./habak -i ~/graphics/wallpaper.jpg - -will include to desktop wallpaper.jpg file. If you typed after -i not a file, -but a directory, habak would create a list of files contained within, randomly -select any one of them, and then try to load it. In other words, -if you have a lot of pictures in ~/gfx/nice_wallpapers/ then habak -can choose random image. You only need to run './habak -i ~/gfx/nice_wallpapers/' - -Aside from files, you can use fonts (TrueType). Option -f will be useful in this -case. By means of -f option you have to point a file with TrueType font, ie. - -./habak -f ~/.fonts/nice_font.ttf - -You can set a size of font, by typing it following slash after font name, ie -'./habak -f ~/.fonts/nice_font.ttf/50' - -Third (and last) type of habaks are internal habaks. You can enable them -by the -I option. They are not adopting any external data, but -themself generate some patterns. At this moment only two patterns -are available, "int" and "INT", which do an interlacing. For example: - -./habak -I int - -Internal habak "int" do an interlacing, by turning out even lines -of image. Very nice effect, especially if wallpaper is gaudy. -"INT" habak works identical as "int", but turns out odd lines -(by putting together "int" and "INT" you can turn out all lines of screen). - -By default lines aren't turned out in fact, but darked (in my opinion -it generates a better effect), but you can control it by --c color modifier (i will tell about it later). - - -USAGE PHILOSOPHY -You can (and you should to) put habaks together, ie. - -./habak -i ~/gfx/cool.jpg -I int -i ~/gfx/small_logo.png -f ~/.fonts/deltafont.ttf -f ~/.fonts/deltafont.ttf/10 - -that syntax means, that habak will firstly draw coll.jpg file, -then put on internal habak "interlace", and then will draw small_logo.png -image, then deltafont.ttf font, and eventually one more time deltafont.ttf -file, but this time with size of 10 pixels. Simple. - -MODIFIERS -Obviously, alone habaks wouldn't be so elastic, so there are available a lot -of modifiers that affect on them look. Some modifiers are even -necessary. Modifiers are options, that are given following -a definition of any habak - they affect only just followed habak. - -Modifier -C --C is a centering modifier. Habak that is followed by this modifier will be -centered on the screen. - -Modifier -S --S is a scaling modifier. Habak treated by this modifier will be scaled -to fill whole screen (but with proportions saved). Using it have a sense -only for file habaks (images). - -Modifier -p --p is a position modifier. It precisely determines position of habak -on desktop. This modifier requires also additional parameter, in the -form of 'x,y', ie. - -./habak -i ~/gfx/meggy.jpg -p 10,50 - -will render meggy.jpg file with upper-left corner in point 10,50 on desktop. -Coortinates can be negative, so position will be calculated from the -opposite side of screen, ie. - -./habak -i ~/gfx/meggy.jpg -p -10,50 - -will calculate "the beggining" position of habak to a ten pixels from -right and 50 pixels from upper side of screen. To place habak for example -in upper-right corner, you should use '-p -0,0' - -Modifier -c --c is a color modifier. Some habaks supports choosing a color -(at this time only font habaks and internal habaks). -C option -require parameter, that describe color in form of R,G,B,A, ie. - -./habak -I int -c 50,60,70,190 - -means using "int" habak with color: -- red component set to 50 -- green component set to 60 -- blue component set to 70 -- alpha channel set to 190 - -All numbers accepts numbers from 0 (minimal saturation) to 255 -(maximal saturation). - -For example '-c 0,0,0,255' means black, fully not transparent color, -'-c 255,255,255,0' means white, fully transparent color (so just -not visible), and '-c 200,0,0,128' is a strong red and transparent -in 50% color. - -Modifier -t -This modifier is a text modifier, works only with font habak. -As parameter accepts only one line of text, that is rendered -by the font habak. Any text is accepted, you can write kernel -version, date, your name, name of favourite distribution or -image of cat that have a lie-in on your printer. Select something, -i like a date, text will be nicely antialiased, if you want to use -not ASCII characters, you have to use utf-8 encoding. - -For example. - -./habak -f ~/.fonts/deltafont.ttf/15 -t "User $USER on day `date +%Y-%m-%d`" -p 0,-0 -c 240,240,240,200 - -will render on a black screen for example text "User gregory on day -2003-12-21", using deltafont.ttf font in size of 15 pixels. Text -will be placed in lower-left corner of screen, gray color and will -be transparent a little. - -Obviously it is a so simple example, you can complicate it: - -./habak -i /usr/local/share/backgrounds/lens -C -f ~/.fonts/deltafont.ttf/15 -t "User $USER on day `date +%Y-%m-%d`" -p 0,-0 -c 240,240,240,200 - -Now on the background firstly will be placed centered image -from /usr/local/share/backgrounds/lens directory, and that -text will be rendered on it. You can complicate it yet: - -./habak -i /usr/local/share/backgrounds/lens -C -f ~/.fonts/deltafont.ttf/15 -t "User $USER on day `date +%Y-%m-%d`" -p 5,-0 -c 240,240,240,100 -f ~/.fonts/deltafont.ttf/15 -t "User $USER on day `date +%Y-%m-%d`" -p 0,-5 -c 240,240,240,255 - -This situation is simpilar, but i complicated text a little - -i generats *two* font habaks with the same content, but -one of it is displacemented a little, and have smaller -transparency. It gives so nice effect of shadow under text. By -putting together *several* such shadows differenced in size of font -and intensivity of transparency you can achieve fantastic effects. - -Finally, fire up: - -./habak -i /usr/local/share/backgrounds/lens -C -I int -f ~/.fonts/deltafont.ttf/15 -t "User $USER on day `date +%Y-%m-%d`" -p 5,-0 -c 240,240,240,100 -f ~/.fonts/deltafont.ttf/15 -t "User $USER on day `date +%Y-%m-%d`" -p 0,-5 -c 240,240,240,255 - -Here i added an internal habak "interlace", between picture -from /usr/local/share/backgrounds/lens and font habaks, so -image is faced by small grid of interlacing, but text is not -(because it is placed above interlacing). - |
