Animated GIF and/or TEXT on Desktop (and more) Subject description: Create & control desktop animations |
|
*** Animated GIF and/or TEXT on Desktop ***
Following up on this thread: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=113495
Mike Walsh made a .pet "GIF4Desktop" out of it, I'm not sure on which thread he shared it, anyway it's here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/9iujeafroe18z7n/GIF4Desktop-AIO-noarch.pet/file
Now... Couldn't resist to make a more advanced script using yad GUI (hmmm... maybe overdone ? )
Changes:
- Image can be anything besides .gif, e.g. .png or .jpg
- Support text below image (or just text, no image) multiple lines supported.
- Create Launcher, clicking on the image will launch a program, script or command as desired.
- Adjust the width of text where it begins wrapping.
- Set font type and font color
See screenshots below.
Requirements:
- yad, version 0.38 or higher (attached v0.40 below)
- gtk2desklet, for transparency (attached .pet below)
- xftwidth, optional, but recommended for better accuracy
(text fitting better as it can convert text width into pixels, according to font type and size) (attached .pet below)
https://github.com/vixus0/xftwidth
Note: yad is required for the GUI to make the settings, but NOT required to run the generated script (just gtkdialog)

Splash-Box Subject description: Create splash screen script |
|
*** Create Splash Screen script ***
A bit similar to "Animated GIF and/or text on Desktop" (above), but more focused on splash screen messages.
It's a modification (some more options added) of "box_splash" with the improvements started here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=114446
Using yad GUI to make the settings (and preview option) to finally create splash screen script.
Run from terminal, to show the YAD GUI:
Or type in terminal for usage help (command line options):
gtk2desklet (for transparency) and xftwidth are included, requires yad higher than v0.38 (see yad .pet packages above)
