Interested I am. This is on my todo list also. I looked into this a while back. The plan was to use DogTail to automate the process of taking the shots in each language[1], by running a script in the help directory. The problem was that dogtail didn't run properly on my system yet. Thumbs up for Python. I still think the border fade, or whatever effect, would be best implemented by Yelp though. Love, Karderio [1] BTW, if you run "LANGUAGE=fr_FR.utf8 gedit" you get gedit in french, if you have the french locale installed. _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
