Re: [gDesklets] Control for Requesters (IInformer, IInformant, IInteraction, IRequester, ...??)

[Bjoern Koch <H Humpel gmx de>]

Hi again,

OK, more on this one ;).

I think it would be a good idea to have some basic data about the
display (like e.g. the path and the metadata) available within the
Display itself and the Controls started by the Display.
But these are major changes and enhancements that might better be pushed
to 0.37 ?! (I will set up a detailed mail on the ML about this later)
Anyway: right now it seems to be better and easier to support
stock-icons only for the main icon right now.

Soooo... I just committed the first version of IPopUp to the 0.3x branch
(see rev.#158).

Feel free to test ;). For a starting point just use the demo display
file (requestertester.display) at the bottom of this mail.

Right now there seems to be only one major issue left:
The window is not destroyed when the desklet is restarted and/or
deleted. The "destroy with parent" is not working...
Any idea ?

Still to come:
- alignment of the elements (icon, text etc.)

Further ideas, comments, suggestions etc. ?!

Otherwise... what about packing it all to RC1 ??! ;).


Greetings, Bjoern
