Things get clearer after some hours with sleep.

Version 0.2 is not SO buggy, and has got start/stop button.

Hi Sigmund

I am using pupEEE (3.01 based) and the program comes up
but there is no display (numbering)

Confused Have I frozen time or entered the twighlight zone?
am assuming a missing graphic lib?

pStopWatch would be great for athletes/trainers using the Eeepc
Time your lap/effort and graph up in gnumeric . . .
Soon you will be an Olympiad athlete . . . Puppy trained!

Smile

Could it be so simple that pupEEE has black text in Xdialog. (My Puppy 3.01 has dark grey.) Try to change line 21 in /usr/local/pstopwatch/pstopwatch.
from
Code:
base[NORMAL]   = "#000000" }
to
Code:
 base[NORMAL]   = "#FFFFFF" }


This will give white background.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. Both the text in the window and on the button is in the system default font at only 10 or 12 points high. I tried poking at the section that exports the temporary gtk settings, I could change other things but nothing I seemed to do to the font made any difference.

Wait. If you are developing this in dingo then it has no gtk1, the problem may only exist if gtk1 is installed.

If you beat me with this, I would be nothing else that VERY pleased.
I guess you have an idea how much I have tried. Smile

I seems that Xdialog doesn't use the size parameters in your pupEEE system. Have you tried it on another puppy?

What background color should we use, since black maybe isn't the best choice.

The stop watch didn't start correct. Now there are a 3 sec countdown to sync with system clock.

Tested in Puppy4

not yet - it's barking at me (v 0.3) Confused

the text needs to be smaller or the display window bigger to get it all in. If you are working towards Dingo - then I suggest orange for now
black, white and grey are the neutral colours . . .
. . .or a variable to be configured . . .

just tested both 0.2 and 0.3 in dingo7
for both of them the main window appears black with no visible text, the button font is the correct size

tested both on mini-muppy 8
background is black font is just legible but the fonts come out at the system default size

without the -s parameter it is thrashing my cpu

running with fractions o

I tested 0.3 on 3 different machines one alpha6, one alpha7, and one 3.01. All shows a nice stop watch. What goes wrong here? Confused

Dear zigbert,

Thanks. I like the app but also ran into problems with fonts etc. (tiny, standard). One way out of the problem is to do the following after line 18 of the main script:
Code:

mygtk="cat /root/.gtkrc-2.0 | grep include"

and
Code:

echo '$mygtk

as the first line of the sequence that creates gtkrc_mono.

Then, only export the following:
Code:

export GTK2_RC_FILES=/tmp/gtkrc_mono

This will ensure that the user's style is preserved with only the font size and colour changing.

In my case, the relevant line in /root/.gtkrc-2.0 is:
Code:

include "/usr/share/themes/MacOS-X/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

Also, I have attached two tiny wav files with nice pop sounds. I included one of them in the "Stop" part:
Code:

"$APPDIR"/pstopwatch_counter &
Xdialog --title "Stop Watch" --smooth --screen-center --no-ok --cancel-label "Stop" --logbox /tmp/pstopwatch-clock 383x137
play ./pop-high.wav > /dev/null 2>&1
echo stop > /tmp/pstopwatch-status
tail /tmp/pstopwatch-clock | grep -v "^$" > /tmp/pstopwatch-clock
"$APPDIR"/pstopwatch


Again, thanks and kind regards,
vovchik
