Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

Hello guys ..

Thanks for all yours comments ! big_smile   It's pretty cool ..
I have fewer time to code at the moment because others thing to do like as participating in FOSDEM 2009 with ubuntu-be ..

But I working on 'multilingual' and some new options ..

@kletpowa : Salut   smile  ..  I think your request is possible ( autohide :0.5  and  autoraise )
It's also planned to import '*.desktop' file , too

@dr. cox :  You can 'install' in different way .. ( like Scrat ).  but then I use it on my livecd remaster , I do this :

sudo cp -a ADesk_Bar  /usr/local/share
cd /usr/local/bin/
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/ADesk_Bar/adeskbar

my autostart : 

...
nitrogen --restore &
conky &                        
bmpanel transpy &                                                                                                                                                  
adeskbar &        
...

@jseiser : Thanks for your interrest .. I know that bzr repo isn't always up to date .. but It's very cool for archlinux'user  cool

Bye ..

Very good work!!

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

Okay, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't get any version but the first release to work. I'm confused. Help? Lol. Nothing, opens. Not the configuration utility, not the launcher, nothing.

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

hi! #!

@91ntegra
extract the tar.bz2 in your home
gives a ~/ADesk_Bar folder
in ~/ADesk_Bar
click once on file 'adeskbar'
launches adeskbar
click on file 'adeskbar-conf' to configure
refresh & save
gives you a hidden '~/.adeskbarrc' (that's the good one)

in term or in rc.xml

~/ADesk_Bar/adeskbar

or link it to /usr/bin

@ADcomp
thanks : great, light & smart
a real true linux app ! that's what I love
I say : yuwud (you understand what you do !)
euhhh... may be iconsize to 12px ?

edit 090301 19:00
appears a problem with launcher for wine

( "wine "c:\Program Files\GameHouse\Zuma\Zuma.exe"","/home/ottomar/ADesk_Bar/data/icons/z.png","zuma"),

doesn't work, too much """"" ?
and blocks adeskbar

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

@ottomar:
Try this, I think it should work (I'll test when I'm back on my desktop machine, my laptop doesn't have wine anyway)

( "wine \"c:\Program Files\GameHouse\Zuma\Zuma.exe\"","/home/ottomar/ADesk_Bar/data/icons/z.png","zuma")

If that doesn't work, an alternative would be to create a file in your ADeskBar directory, called launch-zuma.sh, containing the following:

wine "/home/ottomar/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/GameHouse/Zuma/Zuma.exe"

and then use:

( "sh /home/ottomar/ADesk_Bar/launch-zuma.sh","/home/ottomar/ADesk_Bar/data/icons/z.png","zuma")

Obviously, if anyone else wants to try that, you'd wanna substitute your own home directory for /home/ottomar

Hope that helps, ottomar

yes .. it's my first 'deb'  attemp .. so it maybe not a very well packaged but it works fine for me  [ http://www.ad-comp.be/public/projets/ADeskBar/deb/ ]

harii wrote:

In next release , yes .. you can launch adeskbar with different config file ( like conky )

If you try 1st release , have you remove config file before re-install ? ( take a look : http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/3540/#p3540 )

big_smile  .. if you want 12px , you can change I_SIZE value in config ( ~/.adeskbarrc .. but if you launch adeskbar-conf , it override this value !
Or you can take a look in adeskbar-conf ' code ( ~line 80 ) and change 'lower' value 

        adjustment = gtk.Adjustment(value=I_SIZE, lower=16, upper=128, step_incr=1, page_incr=0, page_size=0)
        self.icon_size = gtk.SpinButton(adjustment=adjustment, climb_rate=0.0, digits=0)

tongue  .. you found a bug !  but  Psychedelic Squid have right. This should work .. 

wine \"c:\Program Files\GameHouse\Zuma\Zuma.exe\"

Remain some work but next release is coming !

[ ! ] Sometimes config doesn't work because gtk-theme override ..
like this ( theme GlassyBleu from HP mini ) and I love it !! But not always so  in next release , I add this option in configuration ( override gtk-theme )

1. it would be cool to be able to set the autohide to 0.5 seconds. I didn't try to modify parameters in the config files, but I know that in graphical mode it always return to 1 second minimum.

ok ( autohide when mouse leave if set to 0 )

harii wrote:

no, no, we thank you !

edit :
and thanks a lot to have renamed the folder to adeskbar without capitals & underscore ! traditionnaly, linux doesn't use them, and really that's ennoying when you write a path ! thanks for that !

I think the easy way to install : open a terminal

wget http://www.ad-comp.be/public/projets/ADeskBar/deb/adeskbar.0.1.5.alpha.deb
sudo dpkg -i adeskbar.0.1.5.alpha.deb

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

It's even easier to click the download link, choose open with Gdebi in the Firefox download dialogue. Then just click install and enter password in Gdebi. That's probably the "new" graphical linux user, compared to the "old" CLI based linux user. Well, both are easy.

I'd like to contribute with translation for swedish when it's time to start the translations.

The latest .deb works fine with my Eee 900 running CrunchEee.

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

This is a nice little application!

I did find a problem though that I have not figured out: If I switch desktops and then return, then it is no longer visible. I thought it might have died, but I discovered that I had many adeskbar's running.

Is there some way to make adeskbar visible in all desktops? Or at least restore visibility when the desktop is re-opened?

Thanks for all the work!

adeskbar should be visible on all desktops .. what version are using ? Does anyone have the same problem?

Currently, I can't say where is the problem so I can't help you  sad

thank you for your feedback.

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

Never mind, I figured it out! I had adeskbar on the bottom of the screen and it was getting covered up by another panel. Moving to the left side fixed it!

Now if only adeskbar would auto-raise when mousing over it! But I like it so far.

You are not the first who ask for auto-raise .. tongue

So maybe you can try this :

source : http://www.ad-comp.be/public/projets/AD … -1.tar.bz2
deb : http://www.ad-comp.be/public/projets/AD … .1.5.1.deb
