Yay!
Recently, I downloaded desktop ponies for linux, but there was the black square behind everypony and today I finally found a fix for it. Guess how am I going to spend the rest of the day ^.^'
Btw for those who use Linux, here is a small guide how to get ponies on your desktop ^.^
(btw I tried it only on Lubuntu precise 64-bit, but it should work on all ubuntu like distros. Non Ubuntu users may need to compile it from source)
1) Download Qt ponies package here (aditional info can be found here)
2) Install the package (I simply just right click and select open with GDebi and then follow the instructions)
3) Run Qt ponies (from main menu in the games section)
4) If the ponies have black square behind them, it means you have desktpo effects turned off. (this is set by default in fallback mode)
Fix for gnome users:
a) Make sure you have gconf-editor installed (for example using synaptic package manager)
b ) Run gconf-editor either from system tools menu or simply by typing gconf-editor in terminal.
c) Go to /apps/metacity/general/ and make sure that compositing_manager and compositor_effects are checked.
d) Now it should work ^.^
^.^ They look so happy playing together!
