RE: GTK theme masters: Help! (RE: Theme Setting added to moblin-applets - bug #206389 )
Hi, Bob, My hildon-desktop patch is here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14555683/24_support_dynamic_theme_update.patch I was thinking it might be better to have a review to those changes before I put it to hardy ppa. I can put it directly, and actually I have verified it in my target and it is working well. Currently what is in the snapshot is 'Default' theme and I am not quite sure in which package 'Human' is set to the key /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme. But when you modify that key by gconf-editor, and set it to 'mobilebasic', with updated hildon-theme-mobile-basic, you will see marquee panel updated at runtime. :-) Thanks, Horace From: Spencer, Bob Sent: 2008年5月21日 7:41 To: Li, Horace; Brandt, Todd E; Bryan, Shane; Loïc Minier; Kyle Nitzsche Cc: Wong, Carl; Alexander Sack; ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Subject: GTK theme masters: Help! (RE: Theme Setting added to moblin-applets - bug #206389 ) We need to tweak some things to get our themes working correctly. Questions / confusion in red My goals are: - Have all theme settings controlled via the standard gconf keys: desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme (and icon_theme). These are currently set to non-existent Human - Remove hard-coded theme in scripts (currently set to mobilebasic) - Set gnome as default icon theme and verify it works - Get midbrowser to use 48x48 icons instead of stretching 24x24 icons (These are coming from /usr/share/doc/libgtk2.0-doc/gtk/ !? ) - Verify that apps, marquee, and home page change theme when gconf keys change. What I thought happened, but doesn't exactly: X starts /etc/X11/Xsession.d/25ume-config-common-startup sets GTK2_RC_FILES = theme_dir/gtkrc-2.0/gtkrc(theme_dir currently /usr/share/theme/mobilebasic/ ) calls /usr/share/ume-config-common/ume-gui-start starts matchbox, passing in --theme = theme_dir/matchbox/theme.xml(theme_dir currently: /usr/share/theme/mobilebasic ) The above should impact hildon-desktop and matchbox only. (Horace, can we also find a way to remove the --theme parameter to matchbox?) GTK apps get theme settings via xsettings daemon which reflects values in gconf: ( I don't see any change in apps icons or theme. Browser icons don't change -- what apps do?) /desktop/gnome/interface /gtk_theme /gtk_key_theme (what is this?) /icon_theme There is also currently gconf keys in: /desktop/moblin/interface (Todd, what are these for and who uses them?) /gtk_theme /icon_theme FYI: Horace has changed the hildon-desktop to ignore the GTK2_RC_FILES and moved the gtkrc.maemo_af_desktop contents to gtkrc file. (Horace, where are your changes? I built an image today but hildon-desktop hasn't changed. If I comment out GTK2_RC_FILES value, I get the attached). current hildon-desktop: 1:2.0.11-1-svn15367-0ubuntu2 wrt the gtkrc file in the mobilebasic theme package, all references to image files were changed from: ../images/file to ../../../../../usr/share/theme/mobilebasic/images/file Why? It seems less robust to have basically an almost absolute path instead of a relative one. Bob From: Li, Horace Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 9:22 AM To: Brandt, Todd E; Spencer, Bob Subject: Theme Setting added to moblin-applets - bug #206389 Hi, Todd, Below is the comment from Ubuntu engineer for your reference. Gtk theme changes are made by setting the following gconf key to the name of a theme directory: /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme . For example, this could be set to mobilebasic or any other valid theme directory in that location/ When that key changes, the change is propagated to xsettings and, through this, all gtk apps are notified of the new theme, and they immediately redraw themselves. Gtk applications launched later launch using the new theme. Basically, we might need a theme setting dialog added to moblin-applets for users to select their favorite theme, when new theme is selected, /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme key value should be updated.

Re: Please help to review i18n support in marquee-plugins
Hi, Kyle, To answer your two questions, 1) So far, new locales have to be added manually by editing a new po file. I was looking at generating po files automatically by using 'gettext' utility, but somehow got back luck on enabling it. I will investigate more and let you know when it is okay. 2) Application name internationalization seems to be maintained by each application. In mobile-basic-flash, home plugin will read through app desktop file and check if there is the translated name matched to current applied locale setting. Take Pidgin as example, its desktop has following name field setting, [Desktop Entry] Name=Pidgin Internet Messenger ... ... Name[zh_TW]=Pidgin 網路即時通 ... ... and in zh_TW environment, when starting Pidgin from mobile-basic-flash, banner will show up Pidgin 網路即時通 正在启动...

(Not the app name, just the Starting part.) Two questions: 1) How does one add new locales to the package so that when the package is built with debuild the new po file is created if it doesn't already exist? (As mentioned, I know how to do it manually.) 2) Do you expect the application name also to be displayed translated in the Starting appname popup?

RE: Help for add my application
Hi, Alex, There is a key in gconf to switch on/off non-mobile desktop link showing up on screen. If that key is switched on, you will have to add following field in your desktop file so as to be a mobile application. [Desktop Entry] … … OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Mobile … … The key in gconf is /desktop/Hildon/htmlhomeplugin/onlyshowin_filter. You could simply set it to FALSE without adding ‘OnlyShowIn’ field in your desktop file, which could show up your hello link on screen.

That seems easier than requiring changes to debian packages, but it would be running all the time and new packages are installed less frequently. dpkg in Ubuntu and soon in Debian will allow to use triggers, so any package can register interest in a tree and changes to this tree; it will only be told that the tree changed (and not what changed), but that's enough for this use case.

RE: Moblin Media launching issues?
This issue seems to be caused by wrong X-OSSO-Service name set in /usr/share/applications/moblin-media-music [ | photo | video].desktop Take moblin-media-music.desktop as example. Proper name should be 'X-Osso-Service = org.moblin.media.music', not 'X-Osso-Service=org.moblin.media.music.service' I think this would be fixed soon.

Python-gtk2-dev lacks of gtk-extrafuncs.defs
Hi, All I am trying to integrating python-hildon into archive, and when generating debian package, it will report IOError: gtk-extrafuncs.defs not found in include path ['/usr/share/pygtk/2.0/defs', '.']. I checked the python-gtk2-dev package, and there is a defs file:/usr/share/pygtk/2.0/defs/gtk-base.defs, includes gtk-extrafuncs.defs but no gtk-extrafuncs.defs is included in python-gtk2-dev package. Does anyone know what package now include /usr/share/pygtk/2.0/defs/gtk-extrafuncs.defs? Is it used any more? If not, should we update gtk-base.defs to remove the include?
