Bambus a simple Gui for any Console tool to draw the backgroundimage

Bambus is a smal and simple Gui(GTK) for any Console tool to draw the backgroundimage like feh, Esetroot, Habak, hsetroot etc.

To the Aur: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34424!
Here is a german Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/Hinterg … d_anpassen

Info:

Name: Bambus
Version: 2.2
Gui: gtkmm
Licens: GPL3

Screenshots:

To start bambus enter

bambus

To restore a backgroundimage type

bambus -restore

To restore any backgroundimage type

bambus -any

And to restore a backgroundimage in an order:

bambus -each

To add an extension in the extensionbox add a line in the .bambus.conf

command_extension=Esetroot -s

It is only a fun project and i am sorry for my bad english.:P

While I have no use for background pictures (fullscreen apps), I have to give you a compliment on how good your app looks.

Seriously, I thought you used Clutter or something similar - I had no idea GTK+ could look so good. Maybe I should stop using Raleigh... (Sorry for the lack of constructive feedback - I just like the presentation of your app.)

Haha. It is a Openbox Theme in combination with a GTK Theme: http://box-look.org/index.php?xsortmode … tmode=7402
What is Raleigh...?

Re: Bambus a simple Gui for any Console tool to draw the backgroundimage

Tried it, worked as expected. Nice simple interface (maybe add a close button on the info window, well, maybe it's normal like this, i just don't like killing windows from outside(the window manager)).

Not that i'd use it, i rarely change my background image and if i do i do it via feh or similar on cli directly.

Btw, i modified the PKGBUILD a little, maybe you like the changes:

}

Re: Bambus a simple Gui for any Console tool to draw the backgroundimage

Thank you for the PKGBUILD. I will modify it. In Version 2.3 i will add a Close Button. Do you think I should add xcompmgr support to Bambus?
Did you try the bambus -any oder bambus -each Option?

Re: Bambus a simple Gui for any Console tool to draw the backgroundimage

No sorry, i didn't. (And i already deinstalled it; i like trying to not keep unneeded packages installed. Not that bambus itself would be big, but deinstalling it gave me half a hundred MB back, since i don't need gtkmm for anything else )

Re: Bambus a simple Gui for any Console tool to draw the backgroundimage

After you installed Bambus you can remove gtkmm, because it is only needed for build. But it is your machine.

Edit: Version 2.3 is now out. A Close Button is now added in the Info Box.

Re: Bambus a simple Gui for any Console tool to draw the backgroundimage

Actually, i tried that now. I put gtkmm as a makedepends and not depends, built it, installed, then removed gtkmm and tried launching bambus and it complained:

bambus: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file ordirectory

Anyway, as i said, i rarely change my wallpaper, so i don't need a GUI for it. But, for thhose who do, or like a GUI for it, i can recommend bambus, it seems to do what is expected and has a nice clean interface

EDIT: As far as i understand it, "bambus -any" puts a random wallpaper of your list in .bambus.conf as background and -each cycles through it in order (setting the enxt in order with each new invocation)?
