Iconbar-widget

This is a small appliation based on the discussion there:
http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=6682

The idea is to run small scripts using a webserver, what allows to use HTML for their User-Interface.

The buttons you see are simply some pictures in a HTML-table.
The Widget itself is a modified version of Dillo.

Download (207 kb):
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Desktop-Tools ... widget.pup

The script will offer to start your webserver (Ghttpd), if it is not already running.
Simply start it from the Dotpups-menu.

Configuration:
You can add Buttons in
/usr/local/iconbar-widget/iconbar.rc

A Button-entry looks like this:

Code: Select all

#icon#
leafpad
/gentooicons/l33t_DES_desktop.png
leafpad
The first line "leafpad" is the comand to execute.
Then the image. They are located in /root/ghttpd/htdocs.
Then the Tooltip-Text (that appears, when youmove the mouse over the button).

To change position and size of the Widget, edit
/usr/local/iconbar-widget/iconbarpos.rc
It looks like this:

Code: Select all

180x44+100+00
So it is 180 pixel wide, 44 pixel high, 100 pixel from the left screenside, and 0 from the to screenside.

The script itself is in /root/ghttpd/cgi-bin.

As the Dillowidget cannot use Javascript, I also tried to compile Gtkmoz myself, but had no success.
