Nieuwe Wanda

Vincent kondigde op zijn blog aan dat Gnome 2.16 een nieuwe Wanda zal bevatten: - De oude Wanda en de nieuwe Wanda Ik wilde echter niet tot 2.16 wachten en jullie vast ook niet Daarom heb ik deze PNG gemaakt (vond m niet in...

Not really. Why oh why is that applet still a part of GNOME?

2. tm [2006-08-11@14:11]

blows my mind off! :)
new wanda kicks ass!

3. Tim M. [2006-08-11@14:18]

Mårten: believe it or not, but it's one of the things my girl friend totally loves about GNOME (compared to Windows). It's the first thing she clicks whenever she starts doing stuff on the computer, and the last thing she clicks before turning it off

4. Koen [site] [2006-08-11@14:23]

Just for fun: Older wanda: ksdz.nl/junk/oldwanda.jpg

and try this: type "free the fish" in the Run dialog and hit enter ;)

5. glennji [site] [2006-08-11@14:31]

I love Wanda.

Well done!

6. Vincent [site] [2006-08-11@14:37]

Mårten: some people like it, and the maintainers of the relevant package have fun with it. People don't have to use it. It isn't even loaded on a standard desktop, so it really doesn't harm.

7. textshell [2006-08-11@14:40]

to much movement for a panel applet. i liked the old more subtle animation more. Less distracting. The bet the new one will feel like a flash ad.

8. err [2006-08-11@14:53]

nice fish but looks a little depressed

9. someone [2006-08-11@15:00]

what does wanda mean btw?

10. michele [2006-08-11@15:00]

Can't wait to upgrade! ;-)

11. Vincent [site] [2006-08-11@15:17]

> what does wanda mean btw?

Wanda is the name of the fish. That's all, really :-)

12. Pavel [site] [2006-08-11@16:08]

@Koen:
lol, nice. but how do I get rid of it again?

13. Martey [site] [2006-08-11@16:23]

@Pavel: I clicked on it and it ran off the side of the screen. Oh no, now it's back!

I found a page (lintellect.org/index.php?... ) that suggests killing the Gnome panel, which causes her to disappear (thank God).

14. Pavel [site] [2006-08-11@16:24]

found another one:
run dialog: "gegls from outer space"

15. Eric [site] [2006-08-11@16:58]

> what does wanda mean btw?

The name of the fish certainly comes from the famous comedy: 'a fish called wanda'

16. Luis [site] [2006-08-11@17:02]

Blasphemy! Old wanda 4eva! ;)

17. Aneglus [2006-08-11@17:19]

Completement amoureux !

18. Alan H [site] [2006-08-11@18:46]

Is new wanda scalable or just another raster graphic?

19. Adam Petaccia [site] [2006-08-11@19:41]

Nooo! I loved old Wanda! *tear*

20. Vincent [site] [2006-08-11@19:47]

Alan: there's a SVG, but right now, we're only using a PNG. So it's not scalable now, but it will.

21. Vincent [site] [2006-08-11@19:54]

Adam: I didn't mention it, but the old wanda is still available :-)

22. Ken [2006-08-11@21:00]

The fish is one of the things I hate hate hated about old Gnome. It doesn't seem to do it any more, but back in the day the fish would *slowly* swim across your screen on top of everything else you were doing, every now and then (even though the fish wasn't even in my panel).

It was infuriating. There was no obvious process to kill, or preference to disable it, or anything else. It was just a bad joke: you've lost all control of your computer.

I would be very happy if the fish died. (There, I said it!)

23. rillian [site] [2006-08-12@07:39]

I like the new look, but the movement is way too busy, as #7 said. It really needs to be slowed down, and only happen occasionally. Looks like a notification state now.

And we love wanda too! :-)

24. David [2006-08-12@09:58]

Old Wanda looks rusty ;o)

25. Koen Sadza [site] [2006-08-12@20:37]

Put this in /usr/share/gnome/panel/pixmaps and select it in the fish-applet prefs, select 8 frames and 0,3s (or longer, but the gif is with 0,3s) if you cant wait till 2.16

26. Jocke [site] [2006-08-13@10:13]

Aaaaah, thanks man!

She looks absolutley gorgeous! :-)

27. Tuomas Kuosmanen [site] [2006-08-14@10:21]

Wow! That's totally adorable and the animation is great too, such a sense of motion with so few frames.

As the creator of the original one I am very happy to see the new one. It was about time - very very cute that new one!

28. Brice [2006-08-17@16:15]

completely useless, yet absolutely necessary

29. Play [site] [2006-08-21@14:41]

Wow! Sexy! Love it! I can't wait to use GNOME 2.16! B) GNOME is Love. Love GNOME!
