Hmm, would that explain the problems with getting all the applications that use rxvt to show the same text and background when they call rxvt?

For example see this thread.
Hi Flash,
Im not sure - it seems a few of the puppy scripts/apps have colours for rxvt set in the script which will over ride .xdefaults - i guess you would need to edit out any -fg -bg colours and change the terminal rxvt/urxvt to match which ever you have .xdefaults set up for.

Here it is, v 0.3b

If there was a way to reject values of zero then the text "Make sure..." could be omitted.
Load default or change values and press OK

When the texts will be finished I would like to internationalize this tool.

cheers
Hi L18L,
Nice find on the colour chooser - i have looked at the yad --help-all numerous times yet completely missed that. :oops:

To be honest im not to sure about the drag and drop separate font preview option - some of my fonts do not display at all / and others incorrectly - i also have no desktop icons other than drives to drag there.

stu90,

urxvtset-0.4.pet
When installed does not put an entry for it in the menu.

Does not seem to install.

I tried L18L's 0.3b version.
When choosing color for foreground or cursor.
After saving settings. They both will have the same color. Based on the one you changed last.

But overall, a very nice program!

The new upload of 0.4 works great. no problems now.
Color works good.
Very, very, nice program now. Very easy to use.
Thanks to you both for very needed addition to Puppy.

Code: Select all

yad --help-form
gives some hints without explanations
:TYPE
H hidden
RO read only
NUM numeric
CHK check
CB combobox
CBE combobox edit
FL file
...
CLR colour

It is OK without the drag'ndrop.
Best solution would be to ask the developer of yad adding TYPE :FNT (font/style/size) to form.

display font preview not at all
Are you sure a size was being selected ?

Hi stu90,

Installed version 0.5, however, upon opening it filled the screen so I haven't tested it. See image below.

Is --:Make sure to fill in ALL fields:-- really needed?
I have tested all numeric fields = zero and nothing nasty happened.

Jim1911,
mhhh...
With me v0.5 is OK. :)
You could delete your .Xdefaults and try again.

Code: Select all

rm /root/.Xdefaults

Hi Jim1911,
Not sure what is going on there, maybe related to some font name?

If you could try the one attached to this post see if it does the same.

uncompress > make sure script is executable > move to /root/my-applications/bin

thanks.

Hi L18L ,
nice one, Yad developer seems to be fairly active so fingers crossed. :)

No there is probably no need for that text anymore as all the fields inputs have already an entry in them.

Hi stu90,

Tried your test 0.5, no change in Snow Puppy which is based on Lucid 525. I switched over to Lucid and it does size properly, however it doesn't work. See image 12 which is the settings that I use, and image 13 which is the results of the settings.

Possibly operator error or I just don't really know what to expect.

Version 0.4 appears to be working properly. See image 15.

Thanks,
Jim

Sure you will tidy it, for now it is just working (size included in font)

(Have some obligations in real life now)

My regards

Edited:
Do not use it, see next post

Sorry for not having tested thoroughly enough version .5a :oops:

The sad truth is:

Code: Select all

yad --font
and

Code: Select all

yad --form --fiel="foo":fn "font style size"
seem to be not compatible with

Code: Select all

fc-list
examples:
yad: Nimbus Sans L Italic Condensed
fc-list: Nimbus Sans L:style=Condensed Italic

yad: Nimbus Roman No9 L
fc-list: Nimbus Roman No9 L:style=Regular

I have tried to work around these different notations but there is one thing why I am giving up now:

yad is giving more choices than fc-list
example for "Fixed":
Regular, Italic, SemiCondensed, Bold and Bold Italic

Code: Select all

# fc-list | grep Fixed
Fixed:style=Bold
Fixed:style=SemiCondensed
Fixed:style=Regular
#
Using yad --font is useless for setting fonts in urxvt.

Hi DaveS - Urxvtset uses Yad for the GUI

You can find the Yad download on this link:
