So, based on this, my understanding is that the motivation for using block-function-signals is function and not performance. Set it true to fence off actions that do not correspond to manual user changes. For example set it true if you want to trigger the skip forward/backward action only when a user changes the slider value (by dragging it) and for no other reason. Hopefully I'm getting it right.

how do i make a dialog show maximized?

Posted: **Sat 13 Aug 2016, 16:03**

I don't know how to do this in GTK, but there is a workaround setting a JWM class

from the first post:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Override JWM-settings - skip taskbar, sticky, layer, border
This is how to override default settings in your JWM configuration.

Your gtkdialog gui must be called with the --class parameter

Code: Select all

gtkdialog --class=APPLET -f myfile

Then this code must be in your jwm configuration file - $HOME/.jwmrc (to be set permanently, it must be added to /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc)

Code: Select all

<Group>
 <Class>APPLET</Class>
 <Option>nolist</Option>
 <Option>sticky</Option>
 <Option>noborder</Option>
 <Option>layer:12</Option>
</Group>

>> The option 'nolist' does avoid your app showing up in the taskbar.
>> The option 'sticky' shows your app on all desktops.
>> The option 'noborder' is equal to the gtkdialog attribute <window decorated="false">.
>> The option 'layer:x' defines if other windows should cover your app, or if it should be on top. layers can be 0-12 where 12 is the on-top setting.

Unlike yad gtkdialog doesn't seem to have a way to set a window to maximized state, but you could use gtkdialog's geometry option -G to achieve almost the same effect:

#! /bin/sh
XWININFO=$(xwininfo -root)
GEOMETRY=${XWININFO#*-geometry }
echo '
<window allow-shrink="true">
<text label="Dialog set to geometry '$GEOMETRY'" space-expand="true"></text>
</window>'|gtkdialog -G $GEOMETRY -s

Above example uses the command xwininfo -root to read the geometry of the root window, which happens to be the maximum window size. The window manager honors this size - minus the size it may need for its tray. The result should be visually the same as a maximized window.

The geometry option actually sets the minimum size, i.e. the user can't resize the window smaller. Use the allow-shrink="true" option if you need unrestricted resizing.

Hi all
How do I create a dialogbox with gtkdialog or yad or zenity which displays text, but shows neither Cancel nor OK button, and with a timeout so that the box vanishes after a specified timeout interval?

Posted: **Sun 14 Aug 2016, 03:51**

thanks for the advice. for such a complex and complete gtk gui... this is outrageous

gtkdialog has the --center option. well, center, maximized... i guess these are gtk window properties. i mean this could be implemented replicating the --center option, changing one line perhaps..

i remember asking the yad developer to add the --no-escape option to make yad dialogs behave gtkdialog, and basically the opposite can be applied to gtkdialog.

there are patches for everything somewhere, i actually found one that was submitted like 2-3 years before it got applied!

In Puppy I see they use yaf-splash a lot for those, but maybe that's not what you want?

Code: Select all

yaf-splash -bg pink -placement top -close never -timeout 5 -text "This message will self-destruct in 5 seconds"

@Sailor Enceladus
Thanks for responding.
You are correct that I don't want this:

Code: Select all

yaf-splash -bg pink -placement top -timeout 5 -text "This message will self-destruct in 5 seconds

This works as a message box.

Code: Select all

yad --title="Yad Message Box" --fixed --text-align="center" --skip-taskbar --window-icon="gtk-dialog-info" \
--text="<big><b>
This is a Yad message box
</b></big>" --no-buttons --timeout="3"

You can create a splash in gtkdialog by using a progress bar - just put a sleep inside that and after force the progress bar to complete to its 100 total. Sorry, I don't have the exact code at my fingertips just now. The progress bar itself can be constructed with <invisible> tags or something like that.

EDIT: Actually, just noted that zigbert gives a splash screen example in his first post of this thread - near the end of his post.

This works for gtkdialog, Ah it does skip the taskbar using skip_taskbar_hint="true"

Code: Select all

#! /bin/bash
TEXT="<big><b>
This is a gtkdialog message box
</b></big>"

export Message_Box='	
<window title="Message Box" icon-name="gtk-dialog-info" resizable="false" skip_taskbar_hint="true">
<vbox>
<text wrap="false" xalign="0" use-markup="true">
			<label>"'$TEXT'"</label>
			</text>
</vbox>
<timer seconds="true" interval="5" visible="false">
    <action>EXIT:exit</action>
    </timer>
</window>'
gtkdialog --program=Message_Box

@Geoffrey
Thanks for those 2 examples.

Bonus question:
What's the definitive link for yad commands. I did not see "timeout" and "no-buttons" anywhere I looked?
