oneko

This is oneko-1.3 (.txz) based on oneko-1.2.sakura.5.

What is it?

Oneko is a screenmate for X written in C, it has different skins e.g. cat

, dog

, tora (striped cat)

, sakura (cardcaptor girl)

chasing your mousecursor.
See also Neko (Software) @ Wikipedia.

Unpack/Compilation/Install:

tar xf oneko-1.3.txz
cd oneko-1.3
xmkmf -a
make
make install

Example Commandline Use:

Orange-Brown-striped tora:

oneko -tora -fg brown -bg orange &!

Skin-coloured Sakura:

oneko -sakura -fg Grey12 -bg DarkSalmon &!

Terminate all oneko-instances:

killall oneko

Changes:

- I included an Input Pixmap for making oneko click-through therefore not blocking the mouse cursor anymore, old behaviour can be forced by command line parameter "-noclick" though.
- Also the manpage_whatis_fixed.patch from debian sid / oneko_1.2.sakura.6-12.debian.tar.xz was applied. And created a german manpage.

ToDo:

- Make oneko aware of multi-screen settings, passing screen borders.
- Change Pixmaps to contain more than two (foreground/background) colors.
