Slat Sounds Like A Theremin Slat 0.4b is up now. It no longer requires ClanLib and the images get installed properly with make install. The "b for beta" is there because I've had to leave out the extra cursor - the one that shows the rotating point. I'm pretty new to X/imlib programming, and I've run into problems using imlib_paste_image. More detail is at http://blog.dis-dot-dat.net/2005/09/slat-without-clanlib-kde-without.html There's a commented line that kind of puts the cursor back, but it behaves strangely. Everything works without it, so Slat should be perfectly usable. If anyone has a clue about this, or can spare a few minutes to see if the same thing happens to them with the extra line in place, I'd be grateful.
