OS customisation essentially is applying scripts +- easy to do. Application customisation requires working on support files of the applications (such as .libreoffice/1/user/gallery) - less easy (often the use of template files is a good approach), desktop is essentially like applications but still more complicated - taking the example of the configuration files of kde4 illustrates that complicated may mean messy. + +- I have done some prototype building - essentially I ended up with a GUI in support of 2 different types of tools - user controlled execution of scripts, and plugins for tools for specific tasks - such as editing the boot menu. That is a toy, but it allows to get a feeling for the problem, and - maybe - pieces of code could be used. You can have a look at + <A HREF="ftp://ftp.mandrivauser.de/magazin/MagDriva-2.2010.pdf">ftp://ftp.mandrivauser.de/magazin/MagDriva-2.2010.pdf</A> +(page 41 and on - it is in German, but the screenshots illustrate quite well how such a tool can look like). I dont suggest to use this in reply to Lucs suggestion - I propose to use it as a potential starting point in case of an "ok, I will write this piece of code" . And, I dont think that "I will" is the right approach, there need to be more than 1 - not only to split the work, but also to have controversy and discussions about what the gadget should look like. + +---------------------------------------------- +---------------------------------------------- + + +Nice worke, but the GUI looks realy ugly on the screenshots :p.. I don't like Tk. + +I was thinking about a less technical tool. For common user who just wants to configure the standard things we all do when setting up a new system/account. + +For a new tool I would use Perl/Gtk, because then one could use some MCC modules e.g. for adding printers. + +My perl skills are ok, but I got no Gtk experince, just ugly Tk. But if some people (you? and others?) are interested in making such a tool/wizzard, we could discuss more details on a new ML maybe. +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="003785.html">[Mageia-discuss] User made a negative Mageia review +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="003787.html">[Mageia-discuss] Mageia First Login Wizzard +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#3786">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#3786">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#3786">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#3786">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
