GNU xhippo-3.5 to xhippo_lite, testing
Posted: Thu 22 Mar 2018, 20:51
Official source-code to build GNU xhippo-3.5 is here:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/xhippo/
Note. To compile it, configure with "--with-gtk2" option,
as it appears to default to GTK-1.2
There are pre-built packages for xhippo-3.5 available on the forum,
for example - see :
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=10722
and:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=86753
With the information on what xhippo is and what it does.
----
This topic is more about.. work-in-progress test version, that focuses
on easy to use UI - with drag'and'drop playlist editing, simple configuration
and locale support, using minimal memory footprint and processor load.
Here I hope it is ok to provide only the C source in gzipped form.
Noarch data is included there as pet.
Note that the setup window is not finished or translated in test package.
Setup window is gtkdialog-based, so can be updated or replaced
without any change to base application.
There are no themes provided also, - if all works out well, will try to post
some example themes in eyecandy section, with full widget paths and any relevant
comments on options. Theme selection accepts "global theme" as option, or themes
that set only some part of player window ( - like icons ) . It would be better
to have fixed widget paths first, to avoid wildcards in themes.
Most of the modifications in xhippo_lite are based on my own user expectations, while
everything about c, gtk2, gtkdialog, bash commands, theme design, etc. may not work as perfect
as it should.. for now. Feel free to provide any ideas on those.
At least the documentaion and "english" labels will need a review, at some point.
