darthfader is a text-fading utility that I've written for X. It displays a given text on screen and fades it away. Details can be found at http://cs.joensuu.fi/~agrohn/darthfader. Proper location for the ebuild should be x11-misc.

hmm, would be pretty cool if this did font rendering with XFT instead of Xlib. hint, hint :)
Okeydokey, I'll start cracking XFT in a few weeks :)
DEPEND="x11-base/xfree" should be virtual/x11 also, RDEPEND needs to be set (since the ebuild uses one of xfree/xorg's programs)
Created attachment 90024 [details] darthfader-0.2.ebuild Once again Sunrise is upon thee.. http://gentoo-sunrise.org/svn/sunrise/x11-apps/darthfader/ Note, that we don't bother to check for SHAPE extension in this ebuild anymore as it's build by default, with extmod in both X.org 6.x and X.org 7.x. Thanks, drac
upstream seems to be death. no working download link or something else. found nothing useful with google. removed from sunrise.
