<h1>pywmdockapps - WindowMaker dockapps written in Python</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h3>What is this place?</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>pywmdockapps is the place to be if you are interested in <a
|
|
href="http://www.windowmaker.org">WindowMaker</a>, <a
|
|
href="http://dockapps.org">dockapps</a> and <a
|
|
href="http://www.python.org">Python</a>.
|
|
|
|
WindowMaker dockapps are graphical applications fitting in a 64x64 tile.
|
|
they can work in WindowMaker or any other window manager which can handle
|
|
WindowMaker style dockapps. The project pywmdockapps contains a Python
|
|
library -wmdocklib- enabling quick development of your own dockapps plus a
|
|
small collection of usable examples.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>the included examples are quite untested. they may work quite well, may
|
|
not work at all, may set your computer in flames, even though this is not
|
|
the most likely event among the three but you have been warned. the one on
|
|
which most work has been performed is pywmhdmon, but this too is no
|
|
guarantee for better functioning.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The example dockapps aim at simplicity and consistency. they are as similar
|
|
as possible to each other and with no excessive graphics. Since they are
|
|
written in Python, it shouldn't be too hard to change something you do not
|
|
like about them. if you do modify things according to your needs and tastes
|
|
or if you simply try things out, please share your opinions/changes with the
|
|
community, by sending a comment, suggestion, or just drop a note to say that
|
|
you have tried it. see contact information at the bottom of this page. </p>
|

<p>you may also consider filing a <a
|
|

or <a

will be processed quickly (a matter of 3/5 days).

<h3>wmdocklib</h3>
|
|
<p>wmdocklib is a library that makes it possible to write WindowMaker
|
|
dockapps in <a href='http://www.python.org'>Python</a>. Quite a bit of the
|
|
code is taken from wmgeneral.c and Kristoffer says he just provided Python
|
|
wrappers around those functions. The library also contains a Python part
|
|
above the wrappers that ease up argument passing and return values. Also
|
|
some other usable methods are provided there.
