App Launcher - adeskbar

Gumper · 2010-07-01 19:22:49

I've just started using Adeskbar as a replacement for Lxpanel and one thing that I miss from Lxpanel is the plugin to show me if my cap locks and number locks are on.

Does anyone know if there's a way that I could add this functionality to Adeskbar?

Thanks!

Gumper · 2010-07-04 04:19:25

Ok, no answer on my last question so I'll ask another one.

How do a go about adding a spacer to adeskbar? I don't see that option in the "launchers".

Thanks!

Hi Gumper,

1 - no plugin for it .. maybe you can look for an app. that you can put on systray ?
2 - spacer .. present in v0.1.7 if I remember , but I lost it on the road. Someone already ask me for this one so "it 'll be back" in next release.

bye ..

Hello,

update :
- plugin spacer : add some space between launchers
- plugin tasklist : show desktop number/name ( + color/font )
- plugin systray : fix when position is left/right
- add 2nd color for "add gradient"
- ..

ADcomp, I want you to know that your program really fills a gap in this type of GUI and I really really hope that this app will get mature and succeed.
I really like it!

Thanks for the update to bring the spacer back. I'll give it a try. As for the cap lock indicator, I just started messing around with "dzen2" and I'm going to do something with that.

Also, I agree with SoleSoul. It does fill the gap between something like "lxpanel" and "cairo-dock". For me "cairo-dock" has too many problems when I try it.

I installed adeskbar from the AUR and it's having a few problems when I try to add the tasklist plugin.

When I first start it up:

[rob ~ ]$  adeskbar

** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkInvisible)
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkObject)

  bBox.pack_start(button, False, False)
Traceback (most recent call last):

Obviously, I know that I had another system tray running. And this is the error I got when I tried to add the tasklist plugin:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    screen = wnck.screen_get_default()

So, I installed python-wnck and started it up. This is all the stuff it spit at me from start-up to adding tasklist plugin:

Also installing the python-gnome-desktop package didn't fix it either...

This app looks pretty neat, so I hope I can get it working.

@pogeymanz

For tasklist , it's a bug .. (fixed in next update). and yes , you need 'python-wnck' for 'intellihide' mode and 'tasklist' plugin

Awesome. And version .4 also looks promising. Thank you.

Is there ever going to be support for Compiz Viewports support in the tasklist? To clarify: Compiz doesn't use "Desktops" so Adeskbar always thinks that we are on Desktop 1 and thus shows all currently open apps.

Are gnome deps needed (deskbar-applet)?
Now it is not so light-weight anymore.

ADcomp · 2010-10-04 18:01:15

Hi DonVla,

As far I know, new depency ( python-gmenu ) only need libgnome-menu2 ( gnome-menus )

Description: an implementation of the freedesktop menu specification for GNOME
The package contains an implementation of the draft "Desktop Menu Specification" from freedesktop.org
Also contained here are the GNOME menu layout configuration files, .directory files and assorted menu related utility programs.

.. so not really bloated , I think. maybe a packaging problem ?

Hmm, take a look at the PKGBUILD.

depends=('python' 'pyxdg' 'pycairo' 'gnome-python' 'deskbar-applet' 'pygtk')

Dependencies for "deskbar-applet":

gnome-desktop>=2.32.0
gnome-panel-bonobo>=2.32.0
gnome-python>=2.28
python-gnomeapplet>=2.32
python-gnomedesktop>=2.32
python-gnomekeyring>=2.32
python-wnck>=2.32

For me (only openbox) it tries to get ~160mb gnome stuff.
From what you say it seems that "deskbar-applet" is only an optdepend.

ADcomp · 2010-10-04 18:37:34

Don't forget I'm on ubuntu ..

david@acer:~$ apt-cache show gnome-menus | grep Depends
Depends: python (>= 2.3), python-gmenu (= 2.30.0-0ubuntu4)

david@acer:~$ apt-cache show python-gmenu | grep Depends
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6~), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.16.0), libgnome-menu2 (>= 2.27.92), python (<< 2.7), python (>= 2.6), python-support (>= 0.90.0), python-gtk2, python-xdg (>= 0.18-1ubuntu2)

david@acer:~$ apt-cache show libgnome-menu2 | grep Depends
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.23.5)

I don't have more gnome depencies .. and I don't these installed on my system ( python-gnomedesktop, python-gnomeapplet, gnome-panel-bonobo, .. )

ps: btw , I use openbox too

Updated the PKGBUILD. So far, it's great!. I don't know hot to get uim-gtk-toolbar-systray to stop compacting on it and tint2 though, 'cause it tends to do that with me. Is there any way one can change the active icon color (on the tasklist)?

off-topic: that's a really nice wallpaper. Where'd ya get it?

Thanks ADcomp.

I can't find the battery monitor on the "Add plugin" menu. Was it removed?

@SoleSoul : yes .. need to fix some stuff to be more efficent.

daneel971 · 2010-10-06 17:29:50

ADcomp, did you remove the "pager" plugin? I added it to the latest release using the one in 0.3.9 and works absolutely fine

@ADcomp:

how the system tray app for uim is supposed to look (cairo-dock)

how it looks in adeskbar
