version 06 - multiple wbar profiles at the same time

test please, before I upload in main page

Tested... Works well, as expected.. No errors as far as I can tell...

Although...

It confused me at first that after clicking 'apply', I had to go to profiles, then save in order to run both profiles with the latest changes..

By this i mean that after making changes to one profile, I'd like to see the changes saved in the profile, after I click 'apply'...

But thats a tiny little issue for me... because the save profile button is right next to the multiple profiles buttons...

So.. Once again, it's all good!

I was just wondering if the falfa setting could be added for icon transparency, might be useful....

Version 06 final is uploaded in mainpage

scottman:
Yes, running multiple profiles means that the profiles (with configs off course) MUST already saved before.

itzme:
Sorry, I don't think I will add falfa parameter

So, that's it for Wbarcc for now...i may look at it again if there's bugs and or a new feature (I am thinking of dragging an icon to its preferred place, rather than clicking up or down button)....

Cheers

can't help it, can't stop to update

Version 07: replace up & down button with drag & release action

Now, I can rest

[trio]

This may or may not be an issue, but when .wbar contains an icon entry with no name, such as

Code: Select all

i:/usr/share/pixmaps/atari.jpg
c:atari-gtk
t:

the icon gets removed when using wbarcc... This is a little problem as some icons contain a name/title (like my atari.jpg) and don't need text, or are unreadable when text overlayed... But it's a tiny issue and doesn't bother me, personally...

Yes, you can't have an icon without text with wbarcc, I'll tell you why, all recognizing and sorting icons begin with the "t:yourtext" as the first filter....the logic is if you don't have a text to display then the icon will have no name thus no icon will be displayed in the list, as the list consists of text (names) not actual icons

Fair enough, makes sense...

version 06 - multiple wbar profiles at the same time

Does this mean we can run multiple instances of the same bar (as shown in your pic), or that we can run multiple bars that are each unique?

Both are possible, if you save your wbar(s) in different profiles..

trio, look like WCC not modified .xinitrc , so if i restartted x then the configuration will be back to the default

Just change your "wbar line" in /root/.xinitrc (you have to do according instructions in the link I gave above) to "/usr/local/wbarcc/wbarexec"

[jur]

I'd like to compile this for another distro - is the source code, makefile etc available?

[amigo]

The program is all scripts using gtkdialog -no source code.

itzme yet again,

I came across Wbar Configuration Centre developed by trio, which I installed into NOP 431, it don't work using the installer, if the pet file is used it will wreck the " .xinitrc " so this is how to do it so that it functions correctly.

Download the wbarcc-07.pet file from here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... h&id=26303 then it needs to be converted to a tar.gz , using pet2tar, I did this on the desktop as it don't work to far from the root directory, extract the tar.gz somewhere and copy the contents by dragging the " usr " folder to file system " / ", this will copy all the files into their appropriate folders.

Now to configure it so that it runs, in the XFCE Setting manager go to session and startup, then application autostart, then add, name the app wbar then add the path by pasting this " /usr/local/wbarcc/wbarexec & " into the path input then press ok.

Next, edit (only if you want to) the " Wbar Configuration Centre " menu entry, in " /usr/share/applications " change it so it reads " Categories=Settings " .

Thats it if you don't have pwidgets, but if you do and want it to refresh on wallpaper changes then the " fixwidgets " script in " /usr/sbin " needs to be edited to look like this.
Code: -wallpaper_setter)
#kill wbar
killall wbar
# echo "Syncing wallpaper and widgets..." > $HOME/.pwidgets/tmp/pwidgets-splashtext
# echo 0 > $HOME/.pwidgets/tmp/pwidgets-splash #reset progress bar
# /usr/local/pwidgets/box_splash &
# Xdialog --infobox "Syncing wallpaper and widgets...Please wait\n\n\nSigmund Berglund - 2009" 12 40 &
IMAGE_STYLE=`xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-style`
if [ "$IMAGE_STYLE" = "3" ]; then
#resize background to fit conky-background
resizepng "$WALLPAPER" /usr/share/backgrounds/Pwidgets_background $X_PIXELS $Y_PIXELS 50
UPDATE_SIDEBAR=true
else
SIDEBARR=""
SIDEBARL=""

fi
# restart wbar
exec /usr/local/wbarcc/wbarexecapply &
sleep 0.5
;;
esac

EDIT:

The " #kill wbar
killall wbar "
and
" # restart wbar
exec /usr/local/wbarcc/wbarexecapply & "

need to be added in the appropriate place, this will allow wbar to be refreshed with the wallpaper setter, but is bypassed on widget changes, I did use " wbarexec " in the script but found that if the wallpaper was selected to quickly before wbar had time to run through the first cycle it would overlay another wbar over the top, wbarexec has a sleep statement in the script where wbarexecapply does not

Well that's it , if anyone tries it please let me know how it go's, so far I've only had the one problem but all seems to be working ok now .
