Hello all, Did a quick search for some info on creating a panel applet but was getting mixed messages on the format of their implementation.
I should perhaps state what I'm doing, might be relevant as I'm not doing much. I'm sticking a RaspberryPi-2 with Arch Linux onto a boat, connected to the NMEA-2000 Bus. So I'm pulling info of this boat bus and would like to display that info on a panel on the top. The normal panel is on the bottom and the user can be running whatever app. But I'd like to add to the top panel: GPS position Named way point Water Temp water depth So all that info would be arranged in the panel and viewable at all times. In addition there are going to be 2 4G USB Dongles connected to the RPi-2 So I'd like to have info for each displaying current radio signal strength and which 4G Dongle is currently connected. (Not worked on it yet but the idea is to switch operator depending on signal strength) All of that could just be displayed as text data for the moment, even the signal strength, (75% or something, Green text for connected) , But where to start. Ideally I'd like to create a DBus interface and fire updates to the panel as I get them from the NMEA bus and from the ModemManager. If somebody could firstly tell me if this is possible and if so is there a link to some documentation on the subject? I did see mention of using the same method as other window managers is that the case? and if so which is best? Thanks for any help John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Lxde-list mailing list Lxde-list@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxde-list
