App Launcher - adeskbar

ADcomp · 2010-06-06 14:10:05

@ BlueDarknezz : yes .. little bug. You can modify /usr/share/adeskbar/plugins/digiclock.py ~ line 48

if not time_current == self.time_txt and not date_current == self.date_txt:

->

if not time_current == self.time_txt:

Btw , I have to investigate for these GtkWarning .. ( locales ? ).

Thanks

It's possible with the locales, but i don't know in which case. I use de_DE.utf8 as global locale.

BTW.: I changed the digiclock.py and check the behaviour.

Hello ..

Update : adeskbar-0.3.2.tar.bz2

* better look if no composite
* add these directories to scan "menu" applications ( kde app. are showed in menu now ) :
~/.local/share/applications 
/usr/local/share/applications 
/usr/share/applications/kde4 
/usr/local/share/applications/kde4
* Tasklist :
-- add menu ( right click ) - maximize / minimize / close
-- minimize/maximize with wheel (SCROLL_UP/SCROLL_DOWN)
Working on new feature : Fixed mode ( aka "panel")
Video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYxBexqYphQ
new feature : reserve space at screen edge ( fixed mode )
Video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwYGMG3aXfo
Systray : require python-xlib
*** : If you use "systray" plugin , You must close all tray' applications before configure adeskbar !!

Tanks ADcomp for adeskbar. I was wondering if it's possible to "port" this

* add these directories to scan "menu" applications ( kde app. are showed in menu now ) :
~/.local/share/applications
/usr/local/share/applications
/usr/share/applications/kde4
/usr/local/share/applications/kde4

to adesk-menu: I use it with tint2 and love it

Hi daneel971,

Already done ..

Someone on ubuntu-fr forum ask me the same question. So I do some change :

* --no-tray : use adeskmenu as daemon ( no icon in systray ).
* better look if composite or no

Source : adeskmenu-0.3.tar.bz2

!! Take care .. I change the name : 'adesk-menu' > 'adeskmenu'

You can modify the look'n feel : edit "adeskmenu" ( ligne 17~20 )

MENU_WIDTH = 430
BG_COLOR = "#DCDCDC"
BORDER_COLOR = "#4D4D4D"
ROUNDED = 6

As usual , sorry for my poor english

Cookie · 2010-06-20 09:27:25

this looks cool and interesting, I might give it a shot later

Many thanks ADcomp!!

thank you ADcomp!

:)ALL THE CREDIT GOES TO ADcomp david.madbox
I don't know python coding
I simply did few copy & paste.
adeskmenu:
as a single file
no tray icon
uses elementary, Humanity and gnome icons
in addition it requires /usr/share/pixmaps/debian-logo.png ( watch the script)

it worked flawlesly
I am using it with ubuntu 10.10 + standalone compiz + bmpanel2

Just a suggestion: Add "exec" before "/usr/share/adeskbar/adeskbar" in /usr/bin/adeskbar so adeskbar replaces the bash process. It saves a little memory and makes the process list look cleaner.

kgas · 2010-06-21 20:15:02

is the sys-tray working properly? After adding the plug in nothing appears. am i missing something?

Yes, you are missing few packages that plugins needs. Install python-wnck python-alsaaudio python-vte python-xlib
packages and all the plugins should work

kgas · 2010-06-22 05:25:06

all packages except python-vte are there. I used BlueDarknezz's PKGBUILD. I hope vte in extra should give the same functionality.

Tips : ( > v0.3.4 only )
Use your default icon theme with plugins - menu , bookmarks , showdesktop , terminal , session
Simply edit them like this :
"menu" : images/plugins/menu.png -> start-here
"bookmarks" : images/plugins/bookmarks.png -> user-home
"showdesktop" : images/plugins/showdesktop.png -> user-desktop
"terminal" : images/plugins/terminal.png -> terminal
"session" : images/plugins/session.png -> system-log-out
And refresh ..
Default icon :
Icon theme : SimplyGrey
Icon theme : mistEEk

Thanks ADcomp / BlueDarknezz. Systray is working now.

Something fishy in elinks.desktop because menu.py says "# Error : parsing /usr/share/applications/elinks.desktop" and then stops parsing rest of the applications and menu is incomplete... Maybe it should just say that elinks.desktop is faulty and continue parsing?

ADcomp · 2010-06-30 14:39:02

@suolx - this should not happen

I just install elinks and I don't have this behavior. Can't you post your "/usr/share/applications/elinks.desktop"

suolx · 2010-07-01 04:19:36

Hmm weird...even when reinstalling elinks this happens for me. https://sulx.dy.fi/elinks.desktop

ADcomp · 2010-07-01 05:16:36

@suolx - ok , I found where is buggy. Quick hack ( if you can't wait for next update ) : edit your elinks.desktop ~line 8

Icon=

like this :

Icon=elinks

But you can set other icon if you want ( I don't have elinks icon on my system )

Icon=web-browser

when adeskbar is on the left / right side of the screen, system tray icons are stacked horizontally (which does not look nice) instead of vertical stagging. I hope this issue will be fixed in your next release.

ADcomp · 2010-07-01 16:37:33

@kgas - yes .. I know that. And you 're right, this issue will be fixed in next release.

and for next release , I modified "add gradient" :
