Puppy has no: /tmp/gtkrc_fft
Look more closely. My script wrote that file.
/tmp/gtkrc_fft is what I added to make red and mono type
And: /root/.gtkrc-2.0 is an empty file.
It must be you didn't set a theme or something mine looks like this.
Code: Select all
# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
include "/usr/share/themes/Stardust/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
style "user-font" {
font_name = "Sans 12"
}
include "/root/.gtkrc.mine"
# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
You may have to use find to find the one that is used on your version of puppy. I am on puppy 5.2.8.006 right now.

I want to do that so i can change the ugly language shortcut code (eg "el) with the whole word (Greek) but on the final output it must be used the shortcut (el) for the command to work properly... I hope you understood what i mean, my English are not too good... :/
A method I've used is to use string operations in bash to change the string from what is returned into what I want it to be.
It means you need to do one line per country but that is not too bad because you sort of need to do that anyway when you make the list of countries and codes.

Yeah, Ive never set a theme on this Puppy. Not too concerned with that usually.
Changing the objects is beyond themes, I need new widgets and window decorations.

Can you show me a piece of the updated code to understand it? How should it look with the "string" parameter?

Hi koulaxizis; Bash does built-in string manipulation.
Code: Select all
STRING=12345abcde
echo ${STRING/a*/6789} ### This outputs: 123456789
echo $STRING:0:4} ### This outputs: 12345
echo $STRING: -4} ### This outputs: bcde
echo $STRING##*3} ### This outputs: 45abcde
P=/1/2/3/F.ext
echo $P##*/} ### This outputs: F.ext
echo $P#*/} ### This outputs: 1/2/3/F.ext
echo $P##*.} ### This outputs: ext
echo $P%/*} ### This outputs: /1/2/3
echo $P%.*} ### This outputs: /1/2/3/F
# Is starting at the first character.
% Is starting at the last character.

My answer was narrow to the determination of what the fonts are.
A trick that I have used to make something beyond what gtkdialog did easily was to make an item that is a button and use that to pop up another dialog right on top of where the button is.
gtkdialog like many programs will take the geometry on the command line. The code that was the basis of doing it is below. It is not the best code in the world but it gets it done
Code: Select all
#########################################################################
# Use a slight bit of trickery to make the sub-dialogs come up on top
# the main one in a relative position
# Syntax:
# RelToMain XOFFSET YOFFSET
# RelToMain XOFFSET YOFFSET WIDTH HEIGHT
#
# Output: "--geometry +123+456" ready for command line
# Output: "--geometry 543x654+123+456" ready for command line
#########################################################################
DISPLAY_HEIGHT=`xdpyinfo | grep "dimensions:" | sed -r "s/ +/x/g"`
DISPLAY_WIDTH=`echo "$DISPLAY_HEIGHT" | cut -dx -f3`
DISPLAY_HEIGHT=`echo "$DISPLAY_HEIGHT" | cut -dx -f4`
function RelToMain () {
local MAINWIN
local MAINX
local MAINY
local HEIGHT
local WIDTH
# xdpyinfo contains the info about which window is in focus. In our
# case, that will be the window on which the user hit a button that
# got us here
# xwininfo tells us about the window in question once we know which one
# to refer to
MAINWIN=`xdpyinfo | grep "focus:" | sed "s/window/,/" | cut -d, -f2 `
MAINWIN=`xwininfo -id $MAINWIN | grep "Absolute upper-left"`
MAINX=`echo "$MAINWIN" | grep "X:" | cut -d: -f2`
MAINY=`echo "$MAINWIN" | grep "Y:" | cut -d: -f2`
# Add in the caller's offsets
MAINX=$(( $MAINX + $1 ))
MAINY=$(( $MAINY + $2 ))
if [[ "$3" != "" ]] ; then
WIDTH="$3"
else
WIDTH="200"
fi
if [[ "$4" != "" ]] ; then
HEIGHT="$4"
else
HEIGHT="200"
fi
if (( $MAINX + $WIDTH + 30 > $DISPLAY_WIDTH )) ; then
MAINX=$(( $DISPLAY_WIDTH - $WIDTH - 30 ))
if (( $MAINX < 5 )) ; then
MAINX=5
fi
fi
# echo "--- $MAINY $HEIGHT $DISPLAY_HEIGHT">&2
if (( $MAINY + $HEIGHT + 60 > $DISPLAY_HEIGHT )) ; then
MAINY=$(( $DISPLAY_HEIGHT - $HEIGHT - 60 ))
if (( $MAINY < 5 )) ; then
MAINY = 5
fi
fi
if [[ "$4" != "" ]] ; then
echo "--geometry ${3}x${4}+$MAINX+$MAINY"
else
echo "--geometry +$MAINX+$MAINY"
fi
}

That`s very useful Moose, thank you, I keep code snip files for each type of "language".
Q: Have you ever tried my text-size utility?

Bonsoir,
This is what can be read on the first page of this topic:
>> Show progress in entry - or simply change the color of the entry background
<entry progress-fraction="0.5">
"simply"
change the color of the entry background?
... Could someone tell a bit more about the way to change the background color of an entry?
Thank you!
Cordialement.

Hi Argolance,
Just change the progress-fraction="0.5" to "1" and the whole entry will be coloured:
And text will be white.
Hope I understood your question correctly.
Bye

Hello Bert,
Thank you for replying.
This background color depends on the gtk theme configuration and is not necessarily "colored"... In my case, it is actually... white!
Hope I understood your question correctly.
I myself misunderstood the effect of this entry option, thinking it was really the entry background color that could be changed so.
As a matter of fact, my question has rather something to do with the "Define unique gtk-theme" section of this topic.
Cordialement.
Change background and foreground entry colors
Posted: Sun 15 Dec 2013, 13:28
by Argolance
Bonjour,
Thinking it could be useful, here is the way to customize background and foreground entry colors that I founded following the example given above, in the "Define unique gtk-theme" section of this topic.
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
echo 'style "entry_test"
{
font_name="Sans 30"
base[NORMAL]="#FF00E1"
bg[SELECTED]="#FFCE00"
text[SELECTED]="#62EEFF"
text[NORMAL]="#04FD00"
text[ACTIVE]="#FFCE00"
}
widget "*colored_entry" style "entry_test"
class "GtkText*" style "entry_test"' > /tmp/gtkrc_entry_test
export GTK2_RC_FILES=/tmp/gtkrc_entry_test:/root/.gtkrc-2.0
export test_app="
<vbox>
<entry name=\"colored_entry\"><default>TEST</default></entry>
</vbox>"
gtkdialog4 --program=test_app
Cordialement.
GtkDialog Select Option from List (combobox?)
Posted: Mon 27 Jan 2014, 03:47
by can8v
I have been searching for some examples on how to do this for over an hour and I think I must not be using relevant search queries or something, so I thought I would just ask here.
I am writing my first bash script of any significance and I need a gui dialog to ask the user to make a selection from a few different options and return the selected value back to the script in the form of a variable. Ideally I would feed an array with the possible options to the function that creates the dialog and after the user makes selection get the variable back.
I won't know how many options will be in the variable prior to running the script. The script will get the data for the array from a database and it will likely have from 1 to 7 elements. Even if it only has one element I still need to user to make the choice, as this will be a chance for the user to confirm that they want to proceed.
Sorry if this has been answered before, I just can't seem to find it.
This is what I have tried:
Code: Select all
for i in ${LINES[@]}
do
PRODUCTS=$PRODUCTS"<item>$i</item>"
done
export MAIN_DIALOG='
<combobox tag_attr="value">
<variable>PRODUCT</variable>
<sensitive>state</sensitive>
<action signal="type">activity</action>
$PRODUCTS
</combobox>'
gtkdialog --program MAIN_DIALOG
echo $PRODUCT
And this is the error I am getting:
Code: Select all
** (gtkdialog:21366): ERROR **: gtkdialog: Error in line 7, near token 'string': syntax error
/root/my-applications/bin/unmountMTP.sh: line 25: 21366 Trace/breakpoint trap gtkdialog --program MAIN_DIALOG
First of all am I even using the correct GtkDialog widget and second, if I am, what am I doing wrong?

Ok I made some progress. I am using an appropriate GtkDialog widget.
If I use this
Code: Select all
DEVICE_FILE="/root/my-applications/bin/activeMTPdevices.txt"
old_IFS=$IFS
IFS=$'\n'
LINES=($(cat $DEVICE_FILE)) # array
IFS=$old_IFS
for i in ${LINES[@]}
do
PRODUCTS="$PRODUCTS""<item>""$i""</item>"$'\n'
done
DEVICE_DIALOG_LIST="'<combobox tag_attr=\"value\">
<variable>PRODUCT</variable>
<sensitive>state</sensitive>
<action signal=\"type\">activity</action>
$PRODUCTS</combobox>'"
#echo "$DEVICE_DIALOG_LIST"
export MAIN_DIALOG='<combobox tag_attr="value">
<variable>PRODUCT</variable>
<sensitive>state</sensitive>
<action signal="type">activity</action>
<item>Nexus_7</item>
<item>Galaxy_S4</item>
<item>Nexus_10</item>
<item>Nexus_4</item>
<item>Nexus_5</item>
<item>Galaxy_S2</item>
<item>Galaxy_S3</item>
</combobox>
gtkdialog --program MAIN_DIALOG'
I get a combo box widget with all of the various items. My problem is that I don't know the items at the time of writing the script, I need to have the script build that list of items. When I try the following I get and error, which I will copy below.
Code: Select all
DEVICE_FILE="/root/my-applications/bin/activeMTPdevices.txt"
old_IFS=$IFS
IFS=$'\n'
LINES=($(cat $DEVICE_FILE)) # array
IFS=$old_IFS
for i in ${LINES[@]}
do

done
DEVICE_DIALOG_LIST="'<combobox tag_attr=\"value\">
<variable>PRODUCT</variable>
<sensitive>state</sensitive>
<action signal=\"type\">activity</action>
$PRODUCTS</combobox>'"
export "$DEVICE_DIALOG_LIST"
gtkdialog --program DEVICE_DIALOG_LIST
Here is the error I am getting

Can8v,
<combobox> is rather deprecated - how about
<comboboxentry> or
<comboboxtext> instead, which have
<input file> tag, what makes importing data much easier?
Here's a sample:
Code: Select all
DEVICE_FILE="/root/my-applications/bin/activeMTPdevices.txt"
export DEVICE_DIALOG_LIST='
<window title="The list">
<vbox>
<comboboxtext active="0">
<variable>RESULT</variable>
<input file>'${DEVICE_FILE}'</input>
</comboboxtext>
<hbox>
<button ok>
<action>exit:PROCEED</action>
</button>
<button cancel>
<action>exit:CANCEL</action>
</button>
</hbox>
</vbox>
</window>'
# In order to access returned variables, we have to evaluate them first
eval `gtkdialog --program DEVICE_DIALOG_LIST`
# EXIT states "PROCEED" and "CANCEL" are defined above, but "abort" is internal
if [ "$EXIT" = "PROCEED" ]; then
xmessage "$RESULT" #show the result
elif [ "$EXIT" = "CANCEL" ]; then
xmessage "Cancelled"
elif [ "$EXIT" = "abort" ]; then
xmessage "Window closed via X"
fi

Gtkdialog -get notebook tabnumber
Posted: Sat 22 Feb 2014, 14:33

could one explain why this code works
Code: Select all
export MAIN='
<notebook>
<frame><text><label>first tab</label></text></frame>
<frame><text><label>second tab</label></text></frame>
<frame><text><label>third tab</label></text></frame>
<variable>VAR</variable>
<action signal="button-release-event">[ $VAR -eq 0 ] && xmessage "first tab"</action>
<action signal="key-release-event">[ $VAR -eq 0 ] && xmessage "first tab"</action>
<action signal="button-release-event">[ $VAR -eq 1 ] && xmessage "second tab"</action>
<action signal="key-release-event">[ $VAR -eq 1 ] && xmessage "second tab"</action>
<action signal="button-release-event">[ $VAR -eq 2 ] && xmessage "third tab"</action>
<action signal="key-release-event">[ $VAR -eq 2 ] && xmessage "third tab"</action>
</notebook>'
gtkdialog -cp MAIN
and this not
Code: Select all
export MAIN="
<notebook>
<frame><text><label>\"first tab\"</label></text></frame>
<frame><text><label>\"second tab\"</label></text></frame>
<frame><text><label>\"third tab\"</label></text></frame>
<variable>nTabPage</variable>
<action signal=\"button-release-event\">[ $nTabPage -eq 0 ] && xmessage \"first tab\"</action>
<action signal=\"button-release-event\">[ $nTabPage -eq 1 ] && xmessage \"second tab\"</action>
</notebook>"
gtkdialog -cp MAIN
also i tried
Code: Select all
I=$IFS; IFS=""
for STATEMENTS in $(PumaGui.pmx -cp MAIN); do
eval $STATEMENTS
done
IFS=$I
the only different is the double qoute sign.
thanks in advance

When you're using double quotes instead of single ones, the variables between
<action>...</action> tags get evaluated instead of being exported literally as strings, so in result (since nTabPage var is null at this stage) MAIN contains:
<action signal="button-release-event">[ -eq 0 ] && xmessage "first tab"</action>
That's why I prefer s. quotes - much less hassle with escaping, etc.
Anyway, this will work:
