If you think the zenity project is dead, check this out.
It shows the last update as April 5, 2011.

It is version 3.0.

But there is a catch. It actually requires gtk+-3.0 for compiling

It requirements as listed are:

scrollkeeper
· intltool
· gtk+-2.0
· libglade-2.0
· libgnomecanvas-2.0

On my wary513 (German language pack) everything is fine. See
ymount
rodin.s has reported same (OK) for Russian and Ukrainian.

Is it just Dutch that does not localize or any other language except German and Russian Question

We can reduce the problem to one simple test:

If you have a LANG other than English please report fault or success by simply testing:

probably not intended, I will try a recompile at 0.13.0 when I return tuesday

Localization again
De ru and uk had no problems

The text of the gtk buttons is in gtk20.mo.

I have made a new test on a fresh wary5141,
Dutch locale
Dutch language pack per sfs_load on the fly
yad 0.13.0
yad-NLS installed.

There must be something weird in the sources,
LINGUAS containing de ru uk and sk.
that seems to restrict translations to just these languages, just my thought.

The trick using LANGUAGE is showing that translation to another language, here nl, is possible.

But it really ought to work without tricks.

Edited:
The problem is not new to version 0.13

Running yad-0.13.0 in wary5141 I have discovered something new for me (and maybe for you too): Buttons no more restricted to be placed at bottom line. See picture.

To get nearer to the solution of localization to languages other than de, sk, ru and uk I have set up this wary using Dutch locale again (without utf8), installed lang-pack-nl and copied just the German yad.mo to /usr/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES and it works!

# locale -a
C
en_US
nl_NL
POSIX
# echo $LANG
nl_NL
# echo $LC_MESSAGES

# ls -l /usr/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/yad.mo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8581 2011-07-04 23:47 /usr/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/yad.mo
# # is a copy of de/LC_MESSAGES/yad.mo !!!
#
# # it works: showing 'Cancel' translated to Dutch 'Annuleren'
# yad --version
0.13.0

Hi L181,
Looks like there has been some nice updates in Yad recently - another new feature is form columns. Smile

Not sure how long this has been supported but works on yad 0.16.3 on my Bodhi install.

Button launcher with out the gui automatically closing and needing to be restarted.

As L18L and stu90 have mentioned, the latest yad has some interesting possibilites. So I loaded yad version 16.2 and put together this adaptation of 01micko's tray cpu percentage meter. It uses yad's new notification functions to provide icons "on-the-fly", allowing dynamic information updating in the tray (inside the icon itself).

A pipe is set up in the /tmp directory to receive messages from an updating input source (in this case from CPU usage code by Paul Colby (http://colby.id.au).

The output percentage ($DIFF_USAGE), is then compared to a range and a background color selected ($BG).

Those variables are then picked up in a template as suggested by technosaurus' use of svg for icons, and dynamically echo'd to the file /tmp/cpuicon in a loop.

When the command "echo icon:/tmp/cpuicon.svg >$PIPE" is issued, the tray icon is then refreshed.

As a bonus, if that icon starts heating up, you can left click the "cpu %" icon, and bring up pprocess. Further, you can also dynamically build right-click menus as well.

Middle clicking the icon kills the program.

Technosaurus: Svg definitely more powerful than xpm...thanks.

Cheers,
s

Dear guys and gals,

I don't know when most apps will be ported to gtk3 - and there are tons of scripts that make use of gtkdialog (gtk 2.0). The transition isn't instant or easy. Peter van Eerten (gtk-server and BaCon) is maintaining gtk 2.0 Bacon HUG along with a new gtk3 version. And Bacon runs under Linux, BSD, OSX, peculiarities of each OS must be borne in mind. It also runs under cygwin. Gtk-server still compiles under gtk1. I hope ananasik - Yad's creator - will continue to maintain a gtk2 version for some time still. I remember when KDE made the leap to KDE4. The result for me was that I didn't install it, unlike KDE3.

With kind regards,
vovchik
