replace xmessage with gxmessage

http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~trmusson/programs.html

compiled it, renamed xmessage to xmessage-backup, and made a symlink "xmessage" pointing to gxmessage.

Now the internal dotpup-installer and other xmessage-based programs look like Gtk-Applications

GuestToo has been a fan of gxmessage for ages!
he has posted compiled code, maybe even a dotpup.

oh yes, in fact I used his dotpup from the wiki, I rembered wrong when I said i compiled it myself

The dotpup works fine, except that the "pupget"-window is very large then (wider than my 1024 pixel wide screen).

Paste this at /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and it will fit perfectly at 1024x768 resolution

Code: Select all

 style "gxmsg" {

 font_name="Arial 12" 

 }

 widget "*.gxmessage-textview" style  "gxmsg"
 widget "*.gxmessage-entry"    style  "gxmsg"

 style "button" {

 font_name="Sans Serif 10"

 }

 widget_class "*Button*"      style "button"
