Fluidity 0.1 released

Fluidity is GTD software for Linux. I wrote it for my own use, but
maybe it can help you, too. (And if it does, I would like to hear from
you.) I am proud to annouce it's first public release. The tarball is
available here: http://code.google.com/p/fluidity/downloads/detail?name=Fluidity-0.1.1.tar.gz

Requirements:
- Python 2.5
- GTK 2.16 (i.e.: you need a VERY new distro like Fedora 11 or Ubuntu
9.04, or you have to get a newer GTK on your own)
- Kiwi (http://async.com.br/projects/kiwi/ - available in Fedora as
python-kiwi)
- PyYAML
- Tomboy (for project notes "integration")
- the excellent parsedatetime module for Python - if your distro
doesn't have this, it's available from the Python Package Index. Just
run: easy_install parsedatetime

Hello,
I just tried Fluidity 0.1.1, and I think it looks like a very good
approach to GTD. One problem I noticed immediatly is that it isn't
possible to make the window small enough for my screen (1024x600). I
know the program i early in it's development, and that such things
will probably be fixed soon, but I thought I should tell you at once,
since it's a bit difficult to test the program since I have to move
the window quite often...
Thanks for making this program, I'm sure it will be one of the best
GTD tools if you keep it up.

Hi - glad you like Fluidity so far.

I thought I'd made the window small enough for 1024x600 screens - running great on netbooks is a major goal with this project - but apparently not quite small enough.

Could you post a link to a screenshot demonstrating the problem?

Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated.

Here:

It's not way too big, but it doesn't feel good having the window
outside the screen, and it's also impossible to maximize the window,
which is quite important on a netbook with such a small screen...
Best regards,
Robert

Thanks for the screenshot.

Having it not fit on the screen is *definitely* a problem, so I am very interested in getting it fixed.  Download this file:
http://anvil.keepsilence.org/~jensck/fluidity.ui

Drop it in Fluidity/data/ as a replacement for the fluidity.ui file that's already there & then relaunch Fluidity.  Let me know whether or not that works.  If it doesn't work, I'd like to see another screenshot.  If it *does* work, I'll do another Fluidity release, since netbooks are probably going to be a very common install target for the app.

Sorry for taking so long to test the change, I've been reinstalling my
system...
I tried the new file, and now it fits my screen perfectly, thanks.
