Except there's nothing to clone, it never got that far. That's the whole point.
No biggy, considering there's no absolute necessity to have it in the 'elive' group when it's also 1:1 available as a public repository under 'triantares'.
Well, the reference manual isn't getting along as fast as I hoped (busier than I expected this week) so I'll be focusing on that.
Before I put too much effort in the ToolCenter (and subsequently the Welcome) I'm curious as to your opinion on it, in the first place.
The tool center looks like a good place where we can put many things of the Elive menus (of the elive section), it looks like a panel, the only issue could be if is going to work in the future (depends on python-efl which should not break), also debian-bookworm is going to be released in the NEXT DAYS so we should see if it works too
I don't think there's time to include it in the eliveretro release, we need to release it ASAP with the actual working features well betatested
On the other hand I didn't remember to have tested "how big are the dependencies" of installing elive-tool-center (so, basically i mean python-efl), I should test that in the virtual machine first, can you remember me which was the link of the last good source code? (or just push it to the elive gitlab group, with a different name if the used one fails)
You're missing the point: There's not a single line of 'python' or EFL there ...... it's pure 'yad' (i.e GTK and BASH/ZSH) and as simple as possible, so as to have it easily changeable or add features.
I have been testing and trying out various methods to make 'yad' look good and that's all it is.
It'll definitely work on Bookworm, has no dependencies and is solely meant for E16, 'Enlightenment' E25 has it's own tool-box/configuration-panel after all.
There's only one link now (the other I've added 'old'):
Transferred the repo to:
On a side note:
I think we should wait out a month or so for bugs to be squashed in the first Bookworm release....before even thinking of moving over.
Yeah, that would be 'ctrl+alt+del-py' where I was (as ever) looking to beautify the 'zenity' based app and as a proof of concept.
I am having a hard time getting 'gettext' to work. The 2 text entries in the widget keep on showing the 'eval_gettext' function as text i.e the function itself isn't called whereas others like 'which' are.
Never mind! .... solved!
a matter of using double-quotes NOT single quotes.
Well I agree it is a nice clean icon but it is very unclear as to what it has to do with either 'elive' or 'center'. There's no way that a blue 'e' would look good inside a green circle.
I do think the current icon could use some tweaking like having a fatter and smaller 'e' inside ... but I didn't want to go about changing the elive 'e' too much.
I cannot say if looks better or not right now because I didn't tried, I mean its not only how it looks like but how integrates good with the other elements did you tried? a good thing it has the previous one is like you say "the synaptic was unclear", the previous had a good thing and it was the engine-like design (which makes it think like a setting related thing)
Yes ..... 'elive-center' icon symlinked to 'elive-settings' icon.
I'll give them both their own icon i.e 'elive-settings' with the cogwheel...later today
That would mean to merely adjust the icon to 'elive-center.desktop' which would be the above icon on the left.
That's easy enough.
Done.
It's a bit odd, I agree but making the logo smaller looked even worse.
For the cog-wheel (you call engine) I used the 'fatter" logo I'd made for the 'cyer-techno-theme'. It's a better fit then the default logo ..... but I'm trying to avoid having too many different logos.
OTOH, it's so small there inside the icon that no-one will notice it's different.
Frankly, I' still in doubt which is the better one.
Revamped the old 'elive-center.svg' to 'elive-welcome.svg' for lack of a better name and anyway .... we'll be needing a 'welcome' in the near future (on my TODO list )
For consistency, I propose we keep the outer cog wheel for 'settings' stuff and that circle for information related stuff.
Still in doubt about the 'cog wheel' part of the icon. It (the cog itself) looks clunky compared to the other icons in the set.
I'll see if I can come up with something better.
Here's some tries, with my prefered choice (ATM but that may change) being 'elive-settings-2-green.svg'.
Where a thought is that green means that it's a fairly benign app, red marking danger.
Yeah, but we have to be careful not to overdo that sticking to the 'look&feel' .... Lest we fall into the same trap that the cybertechno icons did: So much the same that they're hard to distinguish.
Or on the other side of the spectrum, go color berserk like Deepin does.
