Description: Make your screen look (a bit) like a vintage crt screen. Simple script that displays overlay on top of your desktop, so corners are rounded and the edges get a glass like appearance, like in an old crt tube. Not sure in which category to put this so..
Should be run from directory where this file is located. Examples:
Display default crt tube:
./crtscreen
Display vintage apple-like rounded corners:
./crtscreen edge-apple.png
Display a 'univac' terminal:
./crtscreen edge-univac.png
Display big rouned corners:
./crtscreen edge-nautilus.png
Other overlay files (edge-xxxxx.png) are contained in the current directory.
Script is in development stage. Don't know how much time I can put into this, but its too much fun not to share so...
Needs imagemagick 'convert' to work.
It uses some X functions (input_shape_comine_mask), which sometimes doesn't work. WHY? Hope that someone knows more about these matters and can modify the script to be more stable. If the script doesn't work at some point, please run ./crtscreen0.py, exit and try again. This uses a different X function which seems to reset the problem. Not sure why. X bug?...
