Hello,
thx for this.. I think it's a good thing you found that on the wiki, I never
think of looking at the wiki... about the
gif problem it's because tkcximage is not loaded yet... so you might want to do
a source picture.tcl before the splash
thing.. this way tkcximage will be loaded... it would be nice if we could
overlay some text over it.. I think it can be
done pretty easily now since you use a canvas.. so just put a [canvas create
text $x $y -text "..."] somewehre in there..
we could put a proc that does this, like "splash_text {text } " and we
wouldfirst create an empty text, and save it's
object id, then the splash_text would do a .splash.c itemconfigure $splash_text
-text $text" ... the splash_text proc
would be called from every .tcl file we have, for config.tcl for example, we
could do splash_test [trans loading_config]
in skin.tcl, it would be splash_text [trans loading_skins], etc... the $x and
$y positions for the text would be preset
depending on the image.. and once the skin gets loaded, we could reload the
image from the skin and destroy/recreate the
text element in the canvas depending on the skin's keys "splash_text_x" and
"splash_text_y"... that involves a bit more
work that what you did and it's an optional thing but it would be nice!
so.. who volunteers to work on that.. who has time.. Tom maybe? :)
OT : And I'm still waiting to know who volunteers for the video/audio
assistant... come on, don't tell me everyone from
the team is tooo busy to work on some specific task... ???
