Oops,

Updated the first post to pmenu-2.0.2.

Had some of the button icons backwards.

PostPosted: Sun 01 Aug 2010, 12:02    Post subject: Refreshing a pixmap image using a button.
Subject description: On going struggle with pixmap...		  
As I mentioned, the more I learn the less I seem to know.

I'm using to following code to try to have the pixmap change from speaker on image to the speaker off image by pushing the corresponding button.

The popup button then would open a new dialog and show that same image.

Obviously it isn't working as I'd envisioned.

Everyone has been so helpful, I feel like I just keep running into the wall every time I turn the corner...

Code:


#!/bin/bash

echo 1 >/tmp/file_name

get_Pic() {
   path="/usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/"   
   if [ $(cat /tmp/file_name) = 1 ]; then
      file="mini-speaker.xpm";
   else
      file="mini-speaker-off.xpm";
   fi
   echo $path$file
}
export -f get_Pic

export NEW_DIALOG="
  <vbox>
  <pixmap>
   <input file>$(get_Pic)</input>
 </pixmap>
  <text>
      <input>get_Pic</input>
   </text>
   </vbox>
"

export MAIN_DIALOG="
<vbox>
    <pixmap>
      <variable>PIC</variable>
      <input file>$(get_Pic)</input>
    </pixmap>
    <text>
      <variable>NAME</variable>
         <input>get_Pic</input>
      </text>     
  <hbox>
    <button>
      <label>Pop-up</label>
      <action type=\"launch\">NEW_DIALOG</action>
    </button>
       <button>
         <input file>\"/usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/mini-speaker.xpm\"</input>
         <action>\"echo 1 >/tmp/file_name\"</action>
         <action>Refresh:NAME</action>
         <action>Refresh:PIC</action>
      </button>
      <button>
         <input file>\"/usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/mini-speaker-off.xpm\"</input>
         <action>\"echo 2 >/tmp/file_name\"</action>
         <action>Refresh:NAME</action>
         <action>Refresh:PIC</action>
      </button>
    <button ok></button>
  </hbox>
</vbox>
"
gtkdialog3 --program=MAIN_DIALOG

unset MAIN_DIALOG
unset NEW_DIALOG
unset get_Pic

rm /tmp/file_name

afishe2000,

You might be able to do something with "flip-flops" (see section 10 of the Gtkdialog Tips below)
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=38608

Perhaps something where the image is made invisible -
<button visible=\"false\"> and is toggled on and off.

Cheers,
s

Personally, I think the startup item editor should be a separate program from pmenu. Otherwise I'm confused what to call it on the menu.




well I did a chainsaw hack of afishe2000's pmenu2
I removed only the desktop editor and made it a stand alone app called
desktop_view_edit

so nothing gets touched in pmenu


*I didnt "package" it since I use TXZ format and this way anyone could test it
add the icon and desktop of your choice



@Hey afishe2000 great coding !

This latest Pmenu is really quite nice. I've added it to Puppeee 4.4 and I'm hoping Barry will add it to woof soon.

Thanks to all for the kind words.

It is fairly amazing what can be done with gtkDialog considering it's limitations.

Hey afishe2000

well I made another small edit and added the Exec=
to see the code used to launch the desktop with

*I added an icon this time and desktop so it could be packaged
for another version (I use a TXZ format)

the reason I hacked out this part of the code is because it can be re used
for other apps the way you set up the reading of the comments is very clever Very Happy

See the first post for more details...

pmenu-3.0.0.pet

The pet for 3.0.0 REQUIRES /usr/bin/switch2 from gtk-theme-switch-i386.pet.

After I run pmenu, depending on what gtk theme I was using, the gtk menus are messed up - the highlight color doesn't show.

Do you have any idea if it can be fixed? Otherwise, it's brilliant.

jemimah,

Ah, found the issue - seems to happen to the right click menus.

Looking to see if zigbert's code causes the same problem?

Just wondering if it's a gtk-theme-switch problem or if I implemented his technique incorrectly.

Thanks,

Jeff

Ok,

After further research I cannot recreate the problem.

I'm switching between the Brushed and Clearlooks themes using CHThemes.

Brushed looks perfect.

Clearlooks has white highlight text and is hard to read when you use the right click menus. (That is what I thought the problem was.)

This is a problem on my machine with the theme straight out of the box un-modified.

Maybe you can post a screenshot of the problem.

Unless you are talking about "Atom", "Barbee", "Celeron"... themes.

I have the problem with both Brushed and Faraway. (No problem with IceWM themes).
It is a problem with the right click menus - you can't tell what item you're hovering over.

A screenshot would just look like a menu with nothing highlighted.
