SVG/PNG Wallpaper Maker

[trio]

As for the check of wallpaper executable, what's the equivalent in quirky if the check fails?


Does anybody knows it? From latest quirky, how to call the wallpaper setter from commandline. I am about to release a new update, and waiting fir this. Thanks

[trio]

V 1.8.5:
- Save as png, a warning if rsvg-convert is not available
- Stamp now can have fill color
- Stamp reflection effect
- Setter checks if wallpaper or xfdesktop-settings or Qwallpaper exists, if not then no button appear (I will make changes if the bin is not called Qwallpaper, I don't have quirky 64 bit)

please see main post. Now it is one app also for xfce pups

V 1.8.6: bugfix when saving stamp reflection...I need a rest

[solo]

Awesome Trio!

Here's a revised tux stamp that accepts a fill.

There are older 32-bit Quirkies, that have the same configuration:

http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/quir ... ril-7.2.1/

http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/quir ... icorn-6.2/

Re a commandline equivalent to 'wallpaper', just trying to recall...
hmmm, some recall happening... yeah, I wrote /usr/sbin/qwallpaper, sometime ago.

Yeah, that script could probably be hacked to work with svg.
It doesn't do commandline, but could be modified, if $1 exists then bypass the gui.

...trio, if you want to look at the script, you are welcome. Actually, I should attach it here. Or not, just look at the action tags:

Code: Select all

<button>
   <label>$(gettext 'Apply')</label>
   <action>echo /usr/share/backgrounds/\$IMAGE > /root/.config/wallpaper/bg_img</action>
   <action>set_bg /usr/share/backgrounds/\$IMAGE</action>
  </button>

/usr/sbin/set_bg is another script. That was originally in Nathan's Wallpaper Setter, mine is modified.

[trio]

@solo, thanks but it doesn't work that way. The fill is done within the gui, not the actual stamp. Pls revise it to the same uniformed structure like the others.

@Barry

Ok, i will change to qwallpaper not Qwallpaper. As for the try outs on quirkies, i may need time as i don't have unlimited internet anymore

Regards


V 1.8.7: bugfix. Now checks for qwallpaper, see main post

Okay, I'll remove the fill statement then.

Any other modifications that would help expedite the process? Would you prefer it if I omitted the stroke statements as well? Perhaps just send the path information by itself?

Okay, gotcha!

Good to know about the stroke-color as well.

The tux svg is strange. After I optimize it, I get a big T shape when I see it in the browser preview window when I want to open it, but then when I open it in the browser it looks fine.
I've tried another way of optimization with a program called svgcleaner, and then I also get a weird shape in my preview window.
I don't know how it behaves in your program.

I'll work on it some more and tweak it, perhaps then the problem dissappears.

[solo]

Try this Tux version. It shows normal in my browser preview window.

It's very easy to make nice wallpapers with this.

[BarryK]

trio,
I have modified /usr/sbin/qwallpaper in Quirky, so now accepts a image file on the commandline, and bypasses the GUI.

Full path is required. The file can be anywhere, and qwallpaper will copy it into /usr/share/backgrounds

If any Quirky user wants this, it is attached. Gunzip it, in /usr/sbin, and set its properties to executable.

Quirky doesn't support svg backgrounds, so qwallpaper now converts it to png.

I can"t set wallpaper from wallmaker, because the save name is wallpaper$$ that"s why i point setter to whatever setter is used. But if you need to set from cli, i will try to find adjustment

Ok, now wallmaker has ability to save as png, and so does qwallpaper

[smokey01]

It would be nice to be able to type in x and y coordinates as well as using the spinner. Also keep the gui open after creating a svg or png. Sometimes I want to makes minor adjustments before closing the gui. Maybe make a png and a svg.

V 1.8.8: Now saving won't quit editor window, add notification when saved

as for the spinbutton, I'll keep them uneditable, as the preview doesn't refresh when edited on the box, not from spinner

[trio]

V 1.8.9.1: fix placement of reflected stamp and text (again). please test

Different text/stamp makes the reflection placement wrong. I hope I get it this time. reflection drive me nuts

[smokey01]

Working well in Fatdog. Reflection is working although the gap distance differs between stamps. The spin buttons are not important but the save option is good and works well here.

Thanks for reporting. As for the stanps reflection, it us unavoidable since each stamp has different gap to its own boittom edge

[trio]

Aaah I know. A solution. And it should be anothrr rule of stamp. The stamp"s gap to bottom edge should be the same for all. Making it closest to bottom
