Current Situation

 - Basics do work - see To Do list below

 - Mouse focus control to be restricted to cover i.e. lines 276-284 commented out needs to be GTK3 converted.  Patches welcome!

To Install


sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gconf-2.0 gir1.2-rsvg-2.0

git clone https://github.com/fossfreedom/desktop-art.git

cd desktop-art



for Rhythmbox 2.96 - 2.99:


./install.sh



for Rhythmbox 3.0 and later:


./install.sh --rb3



N.B. use the equivalent package names `gir1.2-gconf-2.0 gir1.2-rsvg-2.0` for your distro

Enable the plugin in rhythmbox

To Do:

**patches welcome**

 - code cleanup - remove various gnome2 bits such as the path `~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/covers/` in CoverManager.py

 - GConf needs to be converted to GSettings

 - is the rsvg module really needed?  Need to investigate further and if necessary strip the rsvg code elemnents from the source.

 - Investigate the 1 second polling method to update the cover. Inefficient - possible use the standard playing-changed event to upate.

 - Preferences Dialog - two or more increments to the x, y, w or h values causes a segmentation fault.

 

 

 **Bug #1028115 in pygobject**

 

 To have full functionality, this bug needs to be fixed in the pygobject-Packages: 

 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pygobject/+bug/1028115

 

 You can find scripts for Ubuntu 12.04/12.10 to patch the packages.

 If you're running Ubuntu 12.04/12.10 AMD64, you can download the

 resulting binaries as .deb packages.
