Let me nitpick for a bit though: - This layout is missing: [groups] [threads] [message] I have a small screen so having every part span the whole line is best - This layout is missing: [groups] [threads] [message] It's arguable if that would be useful or not :) Lots of layouts are missing, I only coded the most (or at least those I think are the most used), maybe I'll add more layouts in future releases. (and dont do the number labels in the display settings - just use h/vboxes with frames and the actual text in - or does that take too much space? probably) To much space ... and to much code ;-) - There are several things that are out of fashion on Gnome, at least. For example Yes/No buttons. Better use (for the first dialog) Configure and Quit You are right but XPN is not a Gnome newsreader it's a GTK newsreader, I tried to read the Gnome HIG but they are painful for me. (or Cancel? - not sure what No does - didn't try because I didnt want to break it - if I said No once, who knows if it were to ask me again later...) You could say No, it doesn't ask you again because when you close XPN it creates the config file. - I must get used to have to double-click on something that neither opens a new window/app as a reaction nor destroys the current window's content (eg in the group treeview) - why not just react on selection change? Or will opening a group also cause destructive stuff to run - i.e. expiration - ? If so, double clicking is ok... In the groups treeview (and in the articles treeview too) you have both choice, you can use double-click or single-click (it's configurable) to open the group. - In the preferences, Groups properties, the purge options dont have labels that tell the unit (i.e. days (?)) You are right, it's only in the tooltip. - What's the funny Status Number in the leftmost column of the threads view? 6? What? :) Oh, playing for a few minutes I *think* it's the number of unread posts in the thread... Yes! - There is something called GtkExpander that does what your Hide Headers button does, automatically. Not saying that you should use it, just making sure you know... I discovered it just after I already coded my expander, I also tried to use it ... but I don't like it, my button is nices ;-) - Reading a message also needs me to double click in the threads view... I think that actions that are non-destructive and non-long- running can also be done just fine with one click :) It's configurable (like groups), tab Miscellaneous in Config Window, One Click Enter Article. - The default message font is too small - best default to what GtkSettings property gtk-font-name says Ah! I didn't know GtkSettings ^__^;; Hope that helps :) Thank you. -- |\ | |HomePage : http://nem01.altervista.org | \|emesis |XPN (my nr): http://xpn.altervista.org ___ 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] Generating Keyboard Events
Can anyone give me some guidance on generating keyboard events? There are a couple of widgets that just don't work to suit me, and which cannot (so far as I can tell) be directly overridden; the gtk.EntryCompletion is my #1 pet peeve, for how it handles Tab. I'd like to catch the keystroke (which I know how to do), nullify it (which I think I know how to do), and generate a Return and a Tab and have them handled in that order (I'll need to keep a flag to prevent the synthetic Tab from making the whole mess loop). But I'm not having any luck finding guidance for creating synthetic keyboard events. Anybody? -- Chris. ___ 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/

Also if anyone can explain how I can also avoid the recursion problem when calling for events within event function, that would also be nice. ___ 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/

Anybody?
event = gtk.gdk.Event(gtk.gdk.KEY_PRESS) # it's always a key-press here
event.keyval = gtk.keysyms.Return
event.state = gtk.gdk.CONTROL_MASK
event.time = 0 # assign current time
widget_that_should_accept_signal.emit('key_press_event', event)
I put those in an FAQ

[pygtk] Changing a DrawingArea or Pixmap palette ?
I'm trying to write utility for drawing tiles, and I'm using a DrawingArea with an off-screen Pixmap similar to the scribble example program in the PyGTK tutorial, although I am allowing different colors. My question is if there's a simple way to change the palette of what you have drawn onto the DrawingArea (or really the Pixmap, as that's what is getting drawn to). The tiles in my program are limited to four colors and I let the user change which 4 colors are used (as his palette, the way I've normally heard it called) from another limited set of colors (64 of them). What I would like to do is to update whatever they've drawn on the screen with the new colors, when he changes, but I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out a good way to do this or finding any info / examples that relate to it. Is there an easy, built-in way to do this, or if not, does anyone have a suggestion as to a good way to do this (especially nice if there's an example somewhere)? Just to clarify, if the above isn't understandable, say the user has a palette of the colors labeled 0, 1, 2, and 3. Say there is a single line with those colors and it is represented below, with each number representing a pixel: 0 0 0 1 0 3 2 0 Now say the user changes his palette so that the color which was labeled 0 is now the color labeled 4, 1 is now 5, 2 is now 6, and 3 is now 7. I would like to make my program automatically update these changes so the line looks like this: 4 4 4 5 4 7 6 4 Is this possible with the DrawingArea / Pixmap? Thanks for any help. -- J. A.
