Is there something like this for conky of as cinamon applet?
I've just installed impulse for the "n" time and i realised that the speed of the bars is too slow, looks like it it freezing. I've tried to change the settings, even change the peack_acceleration in the .py configuration file, no result. I used impulse before without any issues.
This is a great screenlet Can you please make us a similar desklet for Cinnamon! That would much appreciated! thanks!
Yes would be great, but still nothing to find for cinnamon! Or something like this for conky?
how to increase sensitivity of impulse default theme ?
just change the number of columns and rows in the screenlets settings however you like... if the peaks don't go up very much, consider using my version with the "amplifier"
it is fabulous with this: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Impulse+theme+%22circle+lcd%22+improvment?content=109265
after impulse restart, I must tweak the audio index again to get it work. And I couldn't right-click or drag on my impulse either. How to fix it? I'm using ubuntu 10.10. Thanks.
one guy posted an amplifier for the screenlet , its a excellent option to include :D
Brainpower,, excellent!! This has been an issue for me from day one, Well done guy :) coz
thx, too! and sorry @all for not being very active here... but it seems I'm more active than the original uploader :D
hey guy, I notice this is not sensitive unless the volume is near or at 100%!! Is it possible to make it as highly sensitive throughout the volume range? coz
Hi Do not like default grey theme on o.5.5 version. I liked the red and blue impulse (previous version) How to modify it? Sorry my bad english. Thanks.
Open the properties of the screenlet, go to Options->Impulse and change the colors... (Bar color, Peak color, Background color)
hi im running 10.04.1 64bit on a toshiba satellite l675. i WAS running 10.04.1-32 bit but switched to 64 recently. when i was on 32 bit i had this screenlet working just fine, a bit buggy but no deal-breakers. now that ive switched to 64 bit, i have redownloaded the 64 bit version of impulse, uninstalled the old, installed the new, and now impulse fails to launch at all. please help! -BMFC
Open a terminal and cd to the directory where your ImpulseScreenlet.py is located... type there: "./ImpulseScreenlet.py" and then there you may see, why it won't start...
um...funny thing, it started working all of a sudden, i dont know what happened but now everything works. thanks! -BMFC
Hi, first: great screenlet, it's awesome :D but I had a problem: my audio source is too silent, so the bars were hardly moving... I solved this problem by adding an amplifier to it, which amplifies the bars. I want to share my solution, if someone out there has the same problem :D http://pastebin.com/CTXSsDmm P.S.: @ianimal: If you want to add it to your screenlet, feel free to do so :D
Oops, wrong link... this one works: http://pastebin.com/hTL60mMU
awesome work indeed. Thanks for sharing this!!
what do i have to do with this? i have the volume problem,too
Sorry got it for my own.. For those who dont know: Just exchange your code in ~/.screenlets/Impuse/ImpulseScreenlet.py with the code from the link Then you can set the Amplifier in the Screenlet Options nice work! thanks!
Thanks for the great screenlet.. one of my favorites. I'm having an issue with the 64 bit version - the sensor does not pick up the audio (stays flat), and when I go to the audio source it is on '1'. If I change it to 2, then back to 1 it suddenly starts working. Just a bit annoying having to do this every session to get it working. Is there any quick workaround? Thanks, Jean
I solved it. open .screenlets/Impulse/ImpulseScreenlet.py In the very beginning there is the line audio_source_index = 0 Just chaning the 0 with the number of my source worked for me
