IIRC as long as you build gdk-pixbuf and then librsvg (the module is in the librsvg package itself instead of gdkpixbuf) I'll have to check.goingnuts wrote:jwm-0.21 did have a build-in xload tray-thing beside clock - might be worth looking at that for a start. Can the svg be adapted to gtk1? (it is my impression that svg-support are linked to gtk2 but I might be total wrong)
Re: tray apps ... maybe we are going about this all wrong - how about swallowing a gtkdialog1 app? ... it could monitor network, battery, volume, cpu, temperature, memory, savefile, weather, stock ticker, (this can be set by a single awk script) ... all in one (configurable) applet this would cut resource usage by only using one binary and also speed up loading of gtkdialog (because there is already a hot copy in ram)
That reminds me that I wanted to look into a way to allow running only a single instance of gtkdialog. I think if maybe we set up a pipe and use stdin as the gtkdialog input attached to that pipe it would be do-able from a while loop that just monitors a directory/file for new gtkdialog xml and cat's the new files (out to the pipe and into gtkdialog) ... I'm not sure how many windows gtkdialog1 is able to open simultaneously though (or how if at all) - It probably needs a way to tell the end of that window similar to </window> in gtkdialog2-4
