The real questions is: is anyone interested in helping? OpenGEU, the popular E17 based Ubuntu derivate, needs some help because it needs a pair of new modules and some good coder to create them. I'm no coder and everyone I asked is too busy to help the project right now. I now you are probably all very busy but if anyone is willing to help us please answer this mail. The module we need may be useful to E17 in general afterall!
So here are athe specs of the module we'd need. The module has to be able to add an "OpenGEU Configuration" menu entry to the E17 main menu. In this menu entry, the user will find two sub-menus. One is named Prefereces the other is named Administration. Look at the http://download.tuxfamily.org/geubuntu/WIP/example%20menu1.jpg <http://download.tuxfamily.org/geubuntu/WIP/example%2520menu1.jpg> screenshot please. In this screenshot the submenu is not completely configured as I'd like it because Preferences is setted but then there's menu entry 2 instead of Administration and another random entry. In case you are guessing, I created this menu in E17 with emu. It is a generic scriptable module, it works somehow, showing the menus you'd like to create, but then if you click on the choosen option the command is not launched, dunno why, maybe it is still a WIP :( Well, whatever, the screenshot is just for you to have an idea of what we need to create. Then, while in this screenshot there's no icon showed next to every menu entry, we need an icon to be displayed for every menu entry, like it happens in the fbpanel right now. Look at the "example menu 2 / 3" screenshots please. http://download.tuxfamily.org/geubuntu/WIP/example%20menu2.jpg<http://download.tuxfamily.org/geubuntu/WIP/example%2520menu2.jpg> http://download.tuxfamily.org/geubuntu/WIP/example%20menu3.jpg<http://download.tuxfamily.org/geubuntu/WIP/example%2520menu3.jpg> In the screenshots, naturally, each menu is generated by clicking on a different icon. In the module you should create, instead, Preferences and Administration should be intended as sub-menus of "Opengeu Configurations". In the screenshot you can see all of the menu entries we need to be setted but I'm also attaching you a zipped file containing all of the menu entries in a .desktop format. THAT'S all about this module we'd need... I don't think there's anything more to say except that maybe the E17 emu module could be a good starting point for you to create such a new module. You can find the emu module here: http://www.enlightenment.org/viewvc/e_modules/emu/?hideattic=0 and you can find a .deb file produce by InTiLinuX of our team here: http://repo.intilinux.com/geubuntu/e_modules/emu/emu-0.1+CVS-9-2-2008.deb But as I said, Emu is able pf creating the menu, any user can edit it as he pleases and this is very nice but... there's no way to show icons next to any menu entry and the choosen menu entry doesn't really launch any command :( So it is useless for us. But maybe a good starting code for you, dunno. Please tell me if anyone interested has everything they need to get started :) We then need to create another application, maybe a module, to change OpenGEU Themes. Themes are just actually scripts and a screenshot, I'll post about it in another mail. The OpenGEU Theme chooser will just display themes in a similar way to the E17 theme chooser. The difference is that those themes are in reality just links to various scripts, one script per theme. Very simple, but again, we'll talk about it later!
