I just downloaded v 0.5 when I run it, it say's that it is v 0.4 and still the same error when remove is clicked. :?

edit yeah using yad-0.12.4
oops yes it is 0.5 version but i forgot got to bump the version number :oops: (fixed now)

To be honest i don't know what to suggest regarding this error you are getting Geoffrey - i have uninstalled and reinstalled .pet and am still unable to reproduce it on lucid puppy ( i don't have any quirky or wary installs )

Maybe an idea to try compiling Yad on your quirky 120 NOP install as i compile it here on Lucid puppy
http://code.google.com/p/yad/downloads/ ... 2.4.tar.xz

Code: Select all

./configure 
 make 
 new2dir make install
If you look in the simplegtk script the part for removing themes is 3) i cant see anything there that would be causing an error?

Hi stu90,

thanks for version 0.5

I have played with colours and gtk buttons again...

Again, not really worth a new version....

Cheers

Well I compiled it and it now works, no errors :wink:, funny thing though when I built it, it created the directory structure under /usr/local/
and I wondered why it still didn't work, I looked at your's and it was under /usr/, so I've used your's and copied over the relevant files to build a
package, my version is a lot larger yad in /usr/bin is 354.4 kB, this version of quirky is no way a stock version with loads of updates and mods,
this may account for the size difference, I'll upload a pet of it but whether it will work with other quirky's I do not know, it may only work in my 600meg hybrid monster. :lol: .

actually..

I prefer simplegtk - quite useful and gives expected results (highlight on tabs would be nice but once you start adding features..)

bg - great (at last relief from rox-filer window 'snow-blinding' or getting lost in too-dark gtks)

highlight - love buttons&etc that prelight on hover

select - automatically does contrasting text :D

text - if you get color/value just right, it works well with bg/highlight for medium values

;) it's almost like a return to 'classic' gtk1

works fine on my q142 (anticipate no issues on other puplets like warys)

___(see under), thank you stu'! So many times I've thought "I can fix that gtk theme" and it got pushed back (the few times I did mod a gtk theme it was a struggle getting something reasonably workable and not too ugly). Now it's simple :D

Hello `f00 thanks for testing and feedback.

If you mean highlight on the tabs in geany and the like this should be doable with the highlight colour with out adding an extra input (see script below)

extract and make executable - then move script to the directory /root/my-applications/bin/

cheers.

Hi stu90, good news
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02335

Playing with remove I have found and fixed a bug.
If nothing was selected then the entire directory was deleted.
Not really deleted, I could move it back from /tmp.

Version 0.6 attached.

Code: Select all

### Stu90 ### L18L ###
# delete only if one theme was selected or everything will be deleted
# using variable RESTART
RESTART=$0 # using $RESTART enables restart independent of script name
VERSION=" v 0.6 "
And a question: You seem to not like gtk-stock items. Any good reason for no more using them :?:
Regards

Yikes, good catch on that bug L18L i have updated straight away and thanks for the restart variable tip that will come in handy.

Other than personal preference (i don't much like the look of the stock gtk icons) there is no real reason for not using them - i guess i could add them back in if people find they give better / visual instruction for what the buttons do?

cheers.

Besides their graphics it is more important for me that they are internationalized and localized. Maybe you have noticed in my screenshots (not in this thread, here I have used LANGUAGE=en simplegtk to make an English gui) Cancel was translated to Abbrechen.
Gtk-stock items are a standard used in puppy and elsewhere round the globe :)

I have downloaded o.6, inside it 0.7
Anyhow here is my 0.7 if you like it :)
Note, I like to use gtk-go-back, gtk-go-forward if appropriate and gtk-quit.

PS: you have made yad a dependency, very good :!:

Hi L18L,

regarding icons: What you state sound like a good enough reason to leave them in.

I have changed the icons on the removal gui to (gtk-go-back and gtk-remove) and added a new info box when a theme is removed.

Also found another bug as well (tried to fix it but have hit a brick wall here ) - trying to close/quit the with the little 'x' in the window decoration respawns the gui.

cheers.

Hello
Sorry if dumb question, but could this be used to edit xfce? I think xfce is based on gtk.

Thanks,
