Martin Grimme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: gpl Other License: Package: gDesklets System name: gdesklets Type: non-GNU Description: The project gdesklets provides a framework for Gnome 2.x for desktop applets. Applets can e.g. be iconbars, newsreaders, status views... anything imaginable. New applets (called displays) can be simply created by writing XML files. Inspired by projects like Karamba on KDE, gdesklets also provides functionality for eyecandy such as transparent windows. gdesklets (Gnome Desktop Applets) is written in Python with using the gtk-bindings PyGTK2. Python is powerful enough for this task and we believe that the use of higher-level languages results in code that is much better maintainable and better to debug. Basically, gdesklets provides a framework for a model-view-controller system. The model is the data to be monitored (this can be anything, e.g. CPU temperature, free diskspace, an RSS news channel, ...) The view is the display composed of several widgets. Composing is done with XML definition files. The controller (we call it Sensor) is the part that retrieves data, pushes it to the display and may react on user interaction on the display. The set of sensors is expansible since they are loaded dynamically at runtime. Our goal is to provide some eyecandy to the Gnome desktop that is not only beautiful but also useful. Source code of the current program state is available at: http://www.pycage.de/gDesklets-prerelease.tar.gz Other Software Required: gdesklets requires: - Python 2.x - a recent version of PyGTK 1.99.x (x > 13) - GConf Other Comments: _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Savannah-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
