Cinnamon Eyes

How to Use

You just have to install it from the cinnamon applets center, then add the applet to the panel, and voilá.

In the applet's settings, you can modify the style of the eye, the colors, and more for enhanced performance or efficiency.

Cinnamon Eyes (c-eyes@anaximeno) Version 3.0.2 (2025-01-03 10:31:30) The eyes freeze from time to time. I wish I could give you more info as to when, but it seems unpredictable. When it happens, the eye will move erratically when the mouse is placed over it, but when the mouse is moved away, it remains frozen. I am running two displays, each with its own panel and eye. Both are affected simultaneously.

ohh. finally a eyeballs for the menu bar. I have been looking for this for linux for ages. i used to have them on my system 6 macintosh in the early nineties: https://www.macintoshrepository.org/6515-eyeballs-68k- these even blinked now and then when idle. and when you did nothing for a few minutes, they would stare at you and start scanning the horizon, before falling asleep with the lids close, only to sudden awake when the mouse is moving again.

I just found this and I am having great fun with it. I had previous experience with Xfce4-eyes on Linux Mint and when I set up yours on my Cinnamon box I tried to duplicate the Chibi eyes style as close as I could. I could set to Bulb and color the eye's perfectly with the great color options, but when putting two eyes beside each other on the panel, despite setting Margin at -4 and Padding to 0, they still sit too far apart from each other to look right. can you please give us an option for single or double eyes where the double eyes sit right beside each other almost touching? Thank you for reading, Logan

Hi, I'll try to see if the margin and padding could be improved to allow putting the eyes even closer, or if it would be better to add an option to define the number of eyes we want for each instance, thanks for your suggestion!

Hi, Very fun applet, I loved it (^o^)// Just a little thing, I think the icon is too big compared to the other applets, could you please add an option to decrease the size of the applet's icon! https://i.postimg.cc/CKMPRmx4/cinnamon-eyes.png

Good! You should specify that it is necessary to click on the applet icon for the effects to appear on the screen.
