Ardesia turns your screen into a digital sketchpad to annotate or draw
|
|
on the entire screen. It also lets you record and stream it on the
|
|
network with vlc. You can draw upon the desktop or import an image
|
|
as well as annotate and redistribute it. Ardesia is also pressure
|
|
sensitive assuming your device is properly configured.
|
|
|
|
USER TIPS:
|
|
|
|
Ardesia functions differently under different window managers.
|
|
|
|
Fluxbox/Blackbox: D-
|
|
Even with cairo-compmgr or xcompmgr these only function with a solid color
|
|
background. You may have difficulty selecting tool box, try launching
|
|
with '-d'. As for other minimalist window managers, you are on your own.
|
|
|
|
XFCE: C
|
|
The drawing window has a title bar and you can't type in windows unless shaded
|
|
or minimized. Unknown work around for this.
|
|
|
|
KDE: A+
|
|
Default KDE settings will darken the screen. To fix this
|
|
System Settings > All Effects Tab > Shadow Properties > Uncheck Active windows
|
|
have stronger shadows > Disable Shadows (important if running) > Click Apply.
|
|
Optionally re-enable Shadows and click Apply.
|
|
|
|
GNOME 3.0: F
|
|
Sorry, I have no work around for the issues with this window manager.
|
|
- The Application hides the bar at the top (you can still access Activities
|
|
with a shortcut key.
|
|
- The Tool Box will always be below the drawing window.
|
|
- Because of the tool box, the main features of pictures, pdf, an screen
|
|
record can not be accessed.
|
|
|
|
Other:
|
|
If you have 'focus' extensions that gray out everything but the focused
|
|
window, you will probably have to disable it. However, if you are using
|
|
compiz, you probably are not using ardesia because there is a plugin for all
|
|
this functionality.
|
|
|
|
General:
|
|
Depending on the window manager, you may need to launch as "ardesia -d" to
|
|
obtain control of the tools panel. This may also require tweaking of other
|
|
settings to have the pannel appear on top of the drawing overlay window. You
|
|
may have to toggle "always on top" for the drawing window if you are capable
|
|
of toggling it seperatly from the tool box window.
|
|
|
|
The "mouse option" only seems to effectively work in KDE and XFCE. This is
|
|
a pass through mode that will interact with the desktop below the drawing
|
|
window.
|
|
|
|
The PDF export will allow you to add new pages to a pdf that are screen
|
|
captures of when the button is pressed. It does not save vector shapes.
|
|
|
|
Here some xprops of the windows if you can control windows based on these:
|
|
|
|
Tool Box:
|
|
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "ardesia", "Ardesia"
|
|
WM_NAME(STRING) = "Ardesia"
|
|
|
|
Drawing Window:
|
|
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "ardesia", "Ardesia"
|
|
WM_NAME(STRING) = "window"
|
|
|
|
|
|
Runtime Required:
|
|
- A Composite manager (compiz, kwin, xcompmgr, cairo-compmgr, etc.)
|
|
|
|
Runtime Optional:
|
|
- VLC for recording and streaming
