[pygtk] linsplit revolution!
For anybody with a large screen winsplit revolution is fantastic
for organizing windows http://reptils.free.fr/ (win32 only though)
Basically warps and resizes your windows
so they're tiled with minimum effort.
I've attached a first pass at a unix version (Just run from cmd line)
and would appreciate any hints for the TODO items.
1) get the usable destkop area, minus dock area
2) why does wnck.set_geometry not work for gnome-terminal?
3) How can I get the current gdk time? (0 gives a warning)
Stephen.

Not sure, might be some strange interaction between how your window manager interprets resize requests and how it interprets gnome-terminal's request to be assigned only certain sizes. > 3) How can I get the current gdk time? (0 gives a warning) Create a gtk.gdk.Window, make sure it has PROPERTY_CHANGE_MASK enabled in its event mask, and then call gtk.gdk.x11_get_server_time(that_window) Alternatively, you can read it out of some X events, including keypress events. This is the Correct thing to use in your case, because it avoids race conditions, but I don't know if the tomboy code you're using to issue passive grabs gives any way to get at this information. In PyGTK generally you can call .get_time() on a gtk.gdk.Event of the appropriate type. A general alternative to something like winsplit, of course, is a naturally tiling window manager. You might also be interested in my project, http://partiwm.org, which attempts to become such a wm and is written in pygtk. -- Nathaniel -- "Of course, the entire effort is to put oneself Outside the ordinary range Of what are called statistics." -- Stephan Spender ___ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
[pygtk] Flashing widget background
Hi all, I'm looking to getting widgets in my program to flash, such as ardour does for it's record button. Currently my thinking is to create a new thread to keep changing the background colour. However I'm trying to find out if there's already implementations of this out there. I've looked at ardour's but I am finding tracing how they do it taking quite a bit of time given their project maturity.

Wouldn't a gobject.timeout_add() be enough? That call a function every X ms, in which you can change the color of your widget. -- Yann ___ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
[pygtk] Simple HTML editor
Are there any python bindings for libgtkhtml3? I see there are python bindings for libgtkhtml2 - they even come with Ubuntu. Does this version include any HTML editing functionality? I'd really like to either find, or write, a simple HTML editor - basically, a WYSIWYG word processor that reads and saves HTML, and probably nothing but HTML. I'm thinking something like evolution's HTML e-mail composer, but without all the e-mail related stuff - just HTML editing. Can libgtkhtml2 or libgtkhtml3 do this - and can they do it from python?
