How to fix gnome-panel item size

2009-10-19T04:08:54Z

Hello Everybody,

I find the gnome panel's items to be too large (in height). Please see
the attached screenshot (the "Games" item, for example). I would like
to reduce the height as much as possible. I feel I should look into
the theme's gtkrc file for this. But I could not pinpoint any
particular line I should modify.

Could you please point me to the correct line to edit? Also, I feel
directly editing the theme's gtkrc file is not the right way. Is there
any file in my home directory which I should be editing so that this
change becomes theme independent?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Santanu Chatterjee

Thanks for the replies on this thread. I've chosen to start programming
GTK+ with C. Once the "alien C" idiom becomes familiar it's simple
enough. It's fun to see those GNOME desktop widgets in action.

Hi Juan,

Have you read through:

http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/unstable/gobject-Signals.html

?

I don't have much experience with signals but this would seem like a good place to start.

2009-08-12T08:48:49Z

Hi, i'm starting learning to code on the gnome platform. I have seen
epiphany and empathy projects, and both have a file containing
marshallers, but i do not know what they are. I have read GObject
information about this topic, but i get a few confused. I know they
exist in order to communicate signals and slots, but i do not know
why. So i wonder if you could give some other entry point to this
issue.
Thank you very much.

Re: Apologies if Noise: Gnome Login Screen - "Other"

U can personalize ur login screen changing the gdm xml, its in /usr/share/gdm/themes/<urtheme>/<xml>.

If u want to change authentication of ur system, u gotta write a pam module and configure ur gdm to use ur new module in /etc/pam.d/gdm.

He is talking about gdm, I guess and he would like to configure it so that it

Hi Matthew,

This sounds like a nice project to get started with!

I also recently started developing a Gnome application: in my case I chose Python - although I didn't have any previous experience with it.

I was able to find lots of tutorials and examples, and I have able to rapidly get a prototype application going. I've begun porting one performance critical section of the code to C, and it is proving to require significant patience - as other posters have suggested.

If I may offer one suggestion: you should familiarise yourself with the ongoing debate concerning the use of C# for Free Software [1]. When you come to share your work with a wider audience (which I hope you have ambition to do!) this topic may be raised.

Best regards,
Richard

You can take a look to Vala [1] language too. Is very similar to C#
but you don't need a special runtime environment.
You have a tutorial [2] and a lot of examples [3] in Gnome wiki.

I would say no, unless you're really familiar with C. The C used by
GNOME looks pretty alien in some places, and will, I think, take longer
to figure out, compared to if you use the bindings for other languages.

I haven't really looked at the C++ bindings, but the C# bindings are in
my opinion very good, and I found their documentation very helpful.
MonoDevelop is also a pretty decent way to get a modern programming
environment. However, I never had to look for beginner tutorials, since
I understood GTK+ when I started using it, so I can't say anything about
avability or quality there. http://www.mono-project.com/GtkSharp has
pointers to a few tutorials and the API reference for C#.

It's also worth pointing out that the GNOME APIs are very similar
between the different languages they support. C#, for instance, can use
real namespaces, classes and properties, while C have to fake it, but
that's pretty much all the difference there is. Thus, once you figure
out the basics, you will be able to read C documentation, and use it for
coding C# without much trouble.

Good luck!

Hello,

I've been using the GNOME desktop in several different distros for the
past few years, and have an interest in learning how to develop for the
GNOME platform.

I have a small project in mind, but need some advice on choice of
programming language. I know C, C++, and C# but the tutorials I've
discovered so far seem to be primarily in C. Is C still the best
language with which to start learning GNOME development?

The project would be a GUI alternative to the existing Lisp script for
gNewSense "kernel freedom verification":

http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Kernel/Kfv-script

I'm not a free software purist, but the gNewSense mindset makes me grin

Hi Patrick,

Just look at the XML code: the handler my_signal_handler is called for
the "activate" signal on a GtkAction object.
To know the prototype of the callback, you just need to give a look to
the GTK+ documentation, by launching the devhelp application (install it
if you didn't), or looking on the online help at
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/

Then, you just search in the help the GtkAction class. Once you're
there, you search the "activate" signal. And next to the signal, you
have the appropriate callback prototype. Is this case:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkAction.html#GtkAction-activate

If that was another signal, and you couldnt't find it in the class, you
just would have to search this signal upper in the inheritance tree,
since it must be inherited from a parent class.

Cheers,

gtkbuilder and signals

2009-07-20T10:28:13Z

In the move from libglade to gtkbuilder, if you pop the following in your
shiny new .ui file:

<object class "GtkAction" id=...
<signal name="activate" handler="my_signal_handler">

and in your code:

gtk_builder_connect_signals(builder_pointer, my_data_pointer);

What does my_signal_handler actually get called as? Allegedly it is
void my_signal_handler(void*), but I get the feeling it's more like

gboolean my_signal_handler(GtkWidget *obj, void *my_data_pointer)

?

How can I find out?
(GtkWidget not GtkAction right? so gtk_action_get_name(obj) isn't going to
get me far?)

new gnome-workspacetime release

2009-07-06T14:03:14Z

Hi Folks,

If anyone is interested, I've found some time to add a primitive visualization class for the auditing data which the previous code collected.

A (unwittingly scaled down) screenshot and 0.4.0 code available at:
http://richard.henwood.googlepages.com/gnome-workspacetime

There is still some way to go, but I thought I'd alert you to this new bit of code which I think starts to make the application considerably more useful. Note: this version is incompatible with the 0.3.0 release.

As ever: I welcome criticism, suggestions, patches.

r,

2009-06-25T13:18:06Z

Hi Gnome-lovers,

I've been working on some code to audit my activities around the Gnome workspaces and windows. I've just released the auditing bit of the work which is intended to run as a daemon:
http://richard.henwood.googlepages.com/gnome-workspacetime

The next step from my perspective is to build an application/applet to complement the work of the daemon. The applet would be required to perform:
1. analytics - what can't be done in sqlite, could be done in the app.
2. visuisation - i'm must less clear about my choices here...

I guess i should gtk.

What I would really like is something like google analytics - could I use a hyperlinked svg widget?

For a first attempt, maybe some graphs using the same widgets as 'System Monitor' would be a good idea. Which widgets does 'System monitor' use for graphing?

I'd appreciate your thoughts on this,

best regards,
richard

Yelp 2.27.1, Now With More Ducks

2009-06-17T21:09:04Z

I've just released Yelp 2.27.1, Now With More Ducks.
This coincides with gnome-doc-utils 0.17.1, Also Now
With More Ducks. This marks the first release with
Mallard support built in. And this marks the end of
the boring part of the release announcement.

This is a huge shift in how we approach, plan, write,
and generally work with documentation. The entire
community needs to be aware of what's happening and
how it affects them. Fellow hackers, please skip to
the bottom for information on how this affects you.

Mallard is a new[1] documentation format that is geared
towards topic-oriented help. While you could, in theory,
just convert all of your DocBook documentation to Mallard,
what you would end up with is a document that is the worst
of both worlds. Writing topic-based help requires a new
way of thinking about how we present information to our
readers.

Mallard is uniquely designed from the ground up to support
downstream modification and plugin-based help systems with
little to no patching. The dynamic organization structure
of Mallard was designed with our help in mind, addressing
the challenges we face as an upstream provider.

If you're interested in writing, editing, reviewing, or
otherwise contributing to our documentation, please get
in touch with our team. You can email use at
gnome-doc-list@...
or join us in the #docs channel on irc.gnome.org. Also,
check out our brand new project blog:
http://blogs.gnome.org/docs/

We will be holding regular community meetings. Stay
tuned for more details.

If you are a maintainer or active developer, know that we
are coming for your documentation. It might not be today,
but it's on our radar. If you or someone on your team
handles your documentation independently of our team, we
still want to be in contact to help them produce better
help. Writing is not a one-person task.

We hope that developers will be cooperative with our team
as we try to provide them with better help files to make
their software better for their users.

We also hope that more people from the greater community,
including our downstream communities, will get involved
with our team. We are doing some truly exciting things
right now, and we'd love to share the excitement.

Fearlessly,
Shaun

[1] Yes, I realize I've been quacking since 2004. But
it's newly released, and that counts for something.

Something like this, for example gtk_get_current_event_time(), could be
changed to GDK_CURRENT_TIME. Otherwise it's fine while it works.

Hello,

This is my first post in the list, so hello everyone!
I'm working in this GnomeGoal [1] and I'm trying to replace a
gnome_help call with gtk_show_uri in the gok project:

This is the gnome help call:
gnome_help_display_desktop (NULL, "gnome-access-guide", helpuri,

Is it
gtk_show_uri (NULL, "ghelp:gnome-access-guide?%sysadmin-37",
gtk_get_current_event_time(), &error);
a valid replace?

Here the original code: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gok/tree/gok/main.c#n3186

Re: Empathy Installation

2009-05-22T13:00:08Z

Most likely, your manually built telepathy-glib got installed
to /usr/local, and your distributor built version (the one from
apt/yum/whatever) is in /usr. If I'm right, the
file /usr/lib/pkgconfig/telepathy-glib.pc says it's version 0.7.26,
and /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/telepathy-glib.pc says it's 0.7.27 (or
whatever you installed).

To include the file in /usr/local, run the configure script like:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH ./configure

You can also run
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
and after running that, you can just run ./configure as usual.

I am not a good programming advisor but wouldn't it be saver to mount the
partition read-only?
Additionally an integrity check should be performed on the not-unmounted
partition to ensure
file system integrity before mounting read-write.

I would like to add a feature to the GNOME Project viz. adding a FORCE Mount option to the existing window that crops up when a disk formatted in ntfs is not safely removed in windows. The only existing solution is mounting through the command line with the -o force option.It is currently very inconvenient to do so and also a headache for newbies. I wish to implement it.
I would be glad if anyone could guide me in doing so in any way possible

Thanks & Regards
Varrun Ramani

I poked around the libraries with objdump, and found this difference:
jhbuilt libgnomevfs-2.so:
00000000 *UND* 00000000 SSL_new
Sun built libgnomevfs-2.so:
00000000 F *UND* 00000000 SSL_new

The objdump manpage says F indicates the symbol is the name of a function,
and a space indicates it's "just a normal symbol". So I guess it's some
linker option that's causing this. The Sun build [1] adds "-Wl,-zignore
-Wl,-zcombreloc -Wl,-Bdirect" to LDFLAGS, is one of these what sets the
function flag?

Hi Nikolay,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I found the #define in the code.

I appreciate your help.
Take care.

Hi Sandman

Yes, arrows explicitely set their size in panel code:

case GTK_ARROW_UP:
gtk_widget_set_size_request (button, -1, arrow_size);

When toplevel calls size_request it actually asks for size request for
all child widgets and returns some combination of them (maximum), that's
why minimal size request from arrow turns to be the minimum size of the
panel.

The default value for arrow-size is 20, not 24, although things may
change. You can change this value either in source code:

#define DEFAULT_ARROW_SIZE 20

or with gtkrc file by settting panel's arrow-size property. Google for
PanelToplevel::arrow-size to get the samples.

I'm not sure this behavior needs to be fixed, but it is indeed discussed
many times on various forums. Probably this restrictions should be made
more flexible.

gnome-panel properties

2009-04-16T17:27:50Z

Hi,

In the gnome-panel "Panel properties" dialog box, if the "Show hide buttons" and "Arrows on hide buttons" options are toggled ON (checked), i am unable to shrink the panel below 24 pixels. If the "Arrows on hide buttons" is unchecked everything works as its supposed to.

Here is my current setup:

Distro: Ubuntu 9.04 (beta) using gnome-panel v2.26.0
Screens: Dual screen with Nvidia GeForce 7600. Main screen has a resolution of 1280x1024 and this is the screen on which I have the lone panel at the top of the screen.
Launchers & Applets (left to right): Main Menu (button, not the bar), Firefox, Gnome-Terminal, Window List, Desktop Switcher, System Monitor, Network Monitor, Volume Control, Date/Time applet, User Switcher.
Font Sizes: 8px.

I assume this has something to do with the arrow image at the ends of the panel. Maybe the size of that image cannot be shrunk below 24px?

I tried looking at the code and found the in the function * panel_toplevel_check_resize () * the call to gtk_widget_size_request () returns a GtkRequsition struct with height=24px for all sizes below (and including) 24px. How does gtk_widget_size_request() determine this size??

This is not a hindrance but it does make the interface a little awkward. I would think that if the size of the panel cannot be reduced below 24px (when the "Arrows on hide button" option is selected), the option of entering a lower size should not exist.

Can anyone tell me whether or not this behavior is intentional and why?

Thanks and take care.

There's no separate list for the panel. So you can ask here, but
since your question is about the code, desktop-devel-list might also
be appropriate.

Hi, I have a few questions regarding the gnome-panel source code. Is there a separate list for the panel or can I post my questions to this list.

Thanks.
