The proxy-setup BaCon program saga continues!
Attached is the very latest. It also needs the very latest BaCon. My PET has /usr/lib/hug.so, which makes GUI applications smaller -- 'proxy-setup' has dropped from 115KB to 50KB.
Recently there have been significant refinements in internationalization and also refinements that enable us to create windows that always layout correctly regardless of DPI/screen/default-fonts.
The attached proxy-setup.bac demonstrates these recent advances. Peter is the guy who has done all of this. I have reported problems and Peter has responded immediately and fixed things.
Note that the attached tarball has a readme that explains a few more things.
My latest BaCon PET:

I have written a HOWTO that explains how to get good layout always in a window written with HUG:
http://bkhome.org/bacon/hug/layout.htm
It needs the latest BaCon, 1.0.22pre. I posted a PET here:
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02182
If anyone has any thoughts how the layout HOWTO can be improved/extended, please let me know.

This may come in handy for a quick font size check
or a quick message or to test different fonts
it can be run in the terminal " as is"
many possibilities with markup
Joe
Code: | pango-view \
--font="DejaVu Sans 12" \
--markup \
--text 'This is a DejaVu Sans 12
output on a X screen'
pango-view \
--font="DejaVu Sans 24" \
--markup \
--text 'DejaVu Sans 24
output on a X screen'
pango-view \
--font="DejaVu Sans 44" \
--markup \
--text 'This is a
DejaVu Sans 44
output
on a X screen'

I have seen it on page 19, too.
Now it is not on page 19.
Confused,
but anyhow there have been 4 downloads until now.
Changes are commented in source and readme file.

bsplash = bacon-based splash program |
|
Dear Puppians,
Having seen the nice job that 01micko did with gtkdialog-splash, I decided to create a little splash program in bacon that can display animated gifs, jpgs and pngs, with a message in you choice of font and with window decorations or not. It also has a duration parameter, and the splash can be killed by clicking on the image. I have included a binary, test images, source, the latest HUG and a bash example program. Just unpack and click on the "bsp" script. It should work. For maximum compatibility, I compiled in Puppy 3.01. If you run bsplash without parameters in a terminal, you will get a help screen that explains all the flags and arguments. Also look at the bash script. If you look at the bacon source, you will see that I call two gdk functions to get the size of jpgs and pngs, but use the unix utility "file" for gifs. This is because the gdk routines do not deliver the right dimensions for a multi-image (i.e. animated) gif but "file" does.
With kind regards,
vovchik
UPDATE1: I updated the attachment and added the capability to display the following file types: bmp, jpg, jpeg, jpe, ico, png, icns, wmf, xpm, xbm, tiff, tif, ppm, pbm, pgm, pnm and pcx.
UPDATE2: I updated the attachment and added a placement parameter for the main window (i.e. -p "80,80"), so that the window will display at those x,y coordinates. I also hide the program from the taskbar when in non-decorated mode.

vovchik ,
You've done again. This time making a big splash with animations and image variations.
Very nicely done.
Now for the following little item--
The pacing cat keeps nicely in it's window but the text does not -see below.
Everything else seems to purr along
Regards,
s

Dear seaside and abushcrafter,
Thanks. Seaside, just edit the bit in bsp and add a font and size. It defaults to DejaVu Sans Bold 14, and I am sitting at a big monitor now. But just change the bash stuff in the invocation!
Abushcrafter: Yeah, I will have to put in some keyboard controls. Give me a few suggestions....
With kind regards,
vovchik

vovchik,
I changed the x to 250 (from 230) and the impatient cat and text are now happily in the same room.
Thanks again,
s
(I'm curious as to what sort of keyboard controls might be used here?)

Keyboard Control Suggestions |
|
- Esc=Dismiss
- Enter=Dismiss
- M=Minimize into task-bar.
By default show in task list but give programmer option to disable? If OnTop is set?
A Tray Icon listing msgs with its own Win/Super/Hyper/Meta hotkey?
Give programmer option to disable "enter to dismiss" or a "Are you shore?" dialog box?

Have any of you guys used Dietlibc to compile BaCon programs?
I ask this because Dietlibc creates by far the smallest static applications, significantly smaller than uClibc.
I'm compiling the latest Dietlibc in T2. Well the official package is version 0.32 and dated 2009, but the T2 developers have added many patches and recently added a whole lot more:
http://t2-project.org/packages/dietlibc.html
So, I intend to create a PET of this latest dietlibc.

Dear Barry,
I haven't tried with BaCon, but it could be interesting. I am also wondering whether there are any unnecessary symbols we might be able to strip out of the resulting binaries in order to get even smaller ones - of the kind we often get with plain C or C and GTK. We might want to ask Peter about this...
With kind regards,
vovchik

I have been a busy boy:

If anyone wants to create a language translation file for 'welcome1stboot', please do!
And if you need to tweak the text widget dimensions to accomodate the non-English text, let me know about that too.
