Screenlets

Screenlets are small owner-drawn applications (written in Python) that can be described as "the virtual representation of things lying/standing around on your desk". Sticknotes, clocks, rulers, ... the possibilities are endless.

The goal of the Screenlets base-classes is to simplify the creation of fully themeable mini-apps that each solve basic desktop-work-related needs and generally improve the usability and eye-candy of the modern composited Linux-desktop.

Features

* Easy to use, easy to develop
* Full compositing support
* Non composite support (metacity etc)
* Works with any composited X desktop (compiz, xfce4, ...)
* Included themeing-abilities (SVG, PNG or mixed)
* Fully scalable when using SVGs
* Embedded drag&drop-support
* Automated storing of options (using ini or gconf)
* Controllable through customizable DBus-service
* Can be used together with compiz' widget-plugin to create a Dashboard-like feature as seen on OS X
* Free, open-source and released under the GPL
* Uses cairo and GTK2 for drawing and windowing

I just tried it, and it looks great. Only one thing though, in the package description it says:

screenlets - a small owner-drawn applications.

Which is grammatically incorrect. It should say:

screenlets - small owner-drawn applications.

Because "a" is singular, and "applications" is plural, you can't mix them. The actual program works great though!

Hi,

Though I installed all the deps, I am not able to launch the screenlets-manager :

Code:
root[~]# /usr/share/screenlets-manager/screenlets-manager.py
GConf python module not found. GConf settings backend is disabled.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/screenlets-manager/screenlets-manager.py", line 589, in <module>
    app = ScreenletsManager()
  File "/usr/share/screenlets-manager/screenlets-manager.py", line 131, in __init__
    self.create_ui()
  File "/usr/share/screenlets-manager/screenlets-manager.py", line 325, in create_ui
    w.set_icon_from_file('/usr/share/icons/screenlets.svg')
gobject.GError: Failed to open file '/usr/share/icons/screenlets.svg': No such file or directory


Any clue ?

Regards.

Son|c

Personal experiences with screenlets after a fresh install of ZW 5.2 (Xfce with Composite enabled):

o installpkg screenlets-0.1.1-i486-52.1.tgz (as root)

$ screenlets-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/screenlets-manager/screenlets-manager.py", line 23, in <module>
import screenlets
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/screenlets/__init__.py", line 33, in <module>
import rsvg
ImportError: No module named rsvg

o checked dependencies of screenlets with netpkg: none?
o found it here: What are the requirements/dependencies...
o installed package python-gnome2-desktop WITHOUT dependencies

It seems there are also some problems with certain screenlets, but this needs more time to examine.
