This project is far from a release state, not yet usable for general use, but it's getting there. I was thinking about having even the desktop and window manager be their own plug-ins, but that may have to be for after DexiosDE's release.truefusionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01582154055433123004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6144794301822079046.post-87726582971554527412009-04-03T09:52:00.003-04:002009-04-03T10:07:49.293-04:00DexiosDEFollowing my previos post, after doing a lot of searching and some studying on how the X window system works, i've come across a way to make my own desktop environment without the need for IceWM. I have found a few window managers that rely on Qt4, and since i develop software with Qt4 also, i'ma start building myself one from scratch using the Qt4 library. As i understand it, a desktop truefusionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01582154055433123004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6144794301822079046.post-49776964833396200612009-03-27T20:29:00.005-04:002009-03-27T20:53:31.284-04:00Perhaps a new desktop environment?
LXDE is a very nice desktop environment which uses OpenBox for its window managing, and will be the default environment for Dexios. However, i have been finding it a bit lacking in some areas; though somewhat insignificant, i don't like programming in GTK. Why is that relevant? The LXPanel is coded in C using the GIMP toolkit, so in order to make extensions for it i would have to code for GTK (truefusionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01582154055433123004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6144794301822079046.post-80923898816024952852009-01-29T07:00:00.006-05:002009-01-29T09:04:30.474-05:00Introduction
This blog will relate to a personal project of mine, Dexios Linux, and its progress. It will also involve general things about Linux, but mostly on how to customize Linux or a distribution. Dexios Linux will be a Christian oriented distribution geared towards developers and designers based on Ubuntu. (Don't worry, non-Christians are invited too. :P) Developers and designers include, but is not truefusionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01582154055433123004noreply@blogger.com0
