Hey zigbert.

I like your refreshed and classy pmount & gtkdialog-splash.

Minor issue with gtkdialog-splash:
I don't know if it's only me (Lupuplus-528.005), but -fg parameter doesn't work.
Anyway, the addition of color='"'${fg}'"' makes it running fine.

Hi Sigmund,
thanks for this usefull apps !!

Here running whezzy-3.5.2.5 having gtkdialog-splash version 130212 in it (might be the latest).

... I use it now to display reminder messages for action items launched from Osmo (Menu/Task/Advanced etc ...) Very Happy

I can only get black color for the displayed text, whatever the -fg setting.

I dug into gtkdialog-splash script to look for SFR's workaround, and how to insert it ...but nothing found nor working.

Launching the following command lines results in black text on grey background:

Hi Sigmund,
The -fg update works nice ! thanks a lot.

I have also tried to set the -icon_width parameter to various sizes ranging from 10 to 500 pixels on a /usr/share/pixmap/ icon ... but the displayed size might keep being circa the default 32 pixel size.

Hey Charlie6 & Zigbert

It seems that -icon_width must be used before -icon, because -icon option (which actually sets the width) is parsed earlier in the code, so if -icon_width is supplied later, the width of the icon remains as the default 32px.

Hi,
last edited: Oooops !.... i forgot to mention that the hereunder mentionned «/usr/bin/yaf-splash» command is, of course, a symlink to /usr/bin/gtkdialog-splash script.

...just for information: the following settings work:

It is great that gtksplash works, but in fact it is a bit outdated already. A svg-splash would give a much better control over the cosmetics...

Anyone?

Hi,
yet seeking for some more fine tuning ...
how could one get rounded corners (as ist in raring-5.6.94 ...);
and also set the margin (setting -margin 5 or whatever returns the same result...?)
thanks for answering!

Hi,
here currently using icewm-1.3.7 as window manager on wheezy-3.5.2.5.

Rounded corners (see "nice to have" in my above post) on window boxes come as default with recent jwm versions (i.e. version 819) - (thanks to Barry and Pemasu answering my question).

Icewm windows produced by gtkdialog-splash come with sharp corners.
As far as i could dig into icewm manual pages, i did'nt yet find references to rounded corners settings.
Moreover, it seems that the window-edge/text margins are bigger in icewm than in jwm.

Thanks for any advice or additional information.
Cheers, charlie
