gtkdialog-splash

June 01, 2010 — BarryK

This is great! Forum member 'mave' has created this:

I couldn't resist doing some work on it... to make it a bit more complete, so it can be a drop-in replacement for yaf-splash in Puppy. I added the '-placement' option. Yaf-splash closes on a mouse-click, but I couldn't get that to work, so I set it to default close on a mouse-over -- then I added the '-close' option (not in yaf-splash):

gtkdialog-splash

 

 an easy splash - possible replace for yaf-splash in Lucid Puppy (NOT Puppy 4.x)

 Thanks for Puppy!

 

 usage: gtkdialog-splash [OPTIONS] [-timeout SEC] -text TEXT | -kill PID 

 

 - text EXPRESSION

 - timeout COUNT (in sec, default: 3)

 - icon GTK-XXX (for example: gtk-info all gtk-stock-symbols, default: none)

 - bg COLOR (background color red, blue, yellow..., default: grey)

 - fg COLOR (font color, default: black)

 - placement center|mouse|top|bottom|top-left|bottom-left (default center)

 - close never|mouseover|box (default is mouseover)

 - fontsize SIZE (small, medium, large, x-large, default: large)



 - kill PID (process ID called before: 	PID=0 auto-search fo the last one,

 					PID=xxxxx kill the last one read by PID=$!)

The close box is nice. A simple test:

# gtkdialog-splash -text "this is a text message, enough to test wrapping. Unlike yaf-splash, it auto-wraps the text, which is okay. Centering is approximate. Default size now is medium" -close box -fontsize large -placement top

Here is the code:

Seems to work fine as a replacement for yaf-splash, so I have done that for Quirky. I have placed 'gtkdialog-splash' in /usr/bin, with /usr/bin/yaf-splash a symlink to it. I have placed this into Woof. If you are building a Puppy and choose to use the original yaf-splash, that's fine, it will override /usr/bin/yaf-splash.

Closing on hover
Username: disciple
Closing on hover seems like it could be a bit disconcerting. Personally I don't see why people don't like splashes with window decorations, or buttons..."1 Jun 2010, 22:06"01636"123.100.79.11're Gtkdialog-Splash"01micko"Barry, disciple, Certainly a unique usage of gtkdialog. I think [b]mave[/b] came up with the idea because Iguleder was having problems with yaf-splash with the Hebrew translation for Quickpet. Yaf-splash would not do Bidi (rtl) languages. I put in a workaround using gtkdialog for the splashes in Quickpet. Then mave came up with his idea and I used that instead. I PMed the info to zigbert who made the post in "Gtkdialog Tips" thread on the forum. I then discovered shinobar's yaf-splash work around for Chinese/Japanese/Korean which included placement options, but not the colours. (could have saved you some work Barry and probably more to your liking disciple, window decorations). It's part of shinobar's [b]lang_support_all-1.0.sfs [/b] from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=385038#385038.
