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 |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
