Debian/Wmufo

wmufo is a nice package for you if:

you are running debian

you are running setiathome

you are running X with a wm that supports dockapps

wmufo is a dockapp to run in a sidebar on your desktop and display the status of one or many setiathome clients. But instead of just showing a few numbers like most setiapps,it has some nice ufo and alien graphics.

In BlackBox i had to use the -b option of wmufo (apply broken window manager fix).

Package: wmufo (1.2.1-2) [contrib] This is wmseti on steroids!

This application contains the same statistic display as wmseti but with animation instead of alien faces. Imagine a dockapp with a flowing starfield, a spinning saucer UFO and various alpha blended glowing ball UFOs travelling back and forth across the window.
