Yeah...it's almost there. It would also be an improvement with selection involving a simple on/off toggle. Presently selection works like a text editor. The icon refresh would have to work in runtime. Probably just a variation of a checkbox widget...

Found a way to do it; a createchecklist function within a scrollable vbox.

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=74113&start=56


I would have liked to use an array with the variable, but couldn't find a way. A hack like STAT$i isn't as clean. To read it later, I needed something like

Code:

  eval echo "\$STAT${i}"

Subject description: Provide for pixmap window icons		  
Right now you can only set a gtkdialog's window dialog icon with a "gtk-stock-item" such as this-

Code:
<window title="Example Window" icon-name="gtk-dialog-warning">


It would be really great to provide a customized icon with any pixmap that would show as the window icon as well as minimized in a tray.

Having this feature would give gtkdialog programs a nice professional and polished look.

Cheers,
s

Dear seaside,

I agree with you fully. I requested that from thunor a while back and he has kindly listed that feature for inclusion (http://code.google.com/p/gtkdialog/issues/detail?id=48). It's pretty easy to do.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Hi seaside,

You can add your own icon, vovchik and I discussed it a few post back, if you have the icon you wish to use, place it in any of the folders in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/.

System links also work, then run this command in the terminal to refresh the icon cache,
Code:
gtk-update-icon-cache -f -i /usr/share/icons/hicolor

I've since found that petget refreshes the cache when a pet is installed
Example:
Code:
<window title="A GTKDialog" icon-name="games48" resizable="false" decorated="true">


I placed a system link from /usr/local/lib/X11/themes/Ethereal/games48.png to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps, refreshed the cache and this is the result.

Geoffrey,

Just a great find. Idea Idea Many, many thanks.

Yes, I see you had this discussion over the holidays and I must have just missed it,

Since installing pets updates the cache, it would seem that (for Puppy at least) including that gtkdialog feature implementation of
Quote:
gtk_window_set_icon(GTK_WINDOW(window), create_pixbuf("pixname.ext"));

isn't necessary.

Vovchik would have to comment on the merits between the two ways of showing icons, as I have no clue.

Regards,
s

Dear seaside,

The advantage of:

Code:
gtk_window_set_icon(GTK_WINDOW(window), create_pixbuf("pixname.ext"));


is that you can use any old pixmap - a special one for instance - that isn't registered in the GTK icon system. But Geoffrey's workaround is also very useful. I think the user-selected window pixmap will be implemented in due course. I also like the idea of a tray item. Yad does that very nicely, and I have done that with an unreleased radio stream player in BaCon. It's also not hard to implement, and it's nice to be able to choose the pixmap.

With kind regards,
vovchik

GtkDialog-Feature? !

I would like to refer to the following.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=596119#596119

My thought would be to create something in the style of <tree "selection_mode="3"> that gives back a tree like shown in the attached image.

Perhaps it could be tree also, but with selection_mode="5" (f.e.). I know, it seems to be easy to "hack" things like that (if you are familiar with bash), but it would be very useful for all non-bash-familiar-users/programmers, to handle this one just as easy as <tree selection_mode="3">

I am very familiar with pascal programming (older version, another OS) and I would surely be able to code stuff like that - if i could use "my" pascal system! Unfortunately, i can't.

As i see the code, you do have already everything to set this up.

Would you please "hack" this out to easy use for all non-bash-familiar-users/programmers?

Thank you!

Hello,
Thank you for replying.
I already know this great topic, and learned a lot while looking at zigbert tips!!! But I didn't find the answer to my question. I know how to display my own icon in the window title bar but don't how to display some gtk stock icons like gtk-dialog-info or gtk-dialog-warning for example (which could be useful and used without having to add copies manually to /usr/share/icons/hicolor) though it curiously works quite well with gtk-preferences...

I was wondering if something like icon-stock-name=... would exist?
This was just a question...

Cordialement.

Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
I red the topic as seriously as I could: nada! Embarassed For menuitem and buttons icons, no problem, solutions are there, and I know them...
But for window title bar icon, I tried to adapt several things... without success and din't see anything directly telling about! Confused

No matter.
Have a good Sunday!

Regards.

yeah sorry, I was misreading your post, the way I have always hacked it was make a symlink of my program to the name of the icon with no extension

Code:
ln -s gtkdialog gtk-dialog-warning
#need an icon in jwm's icon path named gtk-dialog-warning.png (or xpm)
gtk-dialog-warning -P ....
