Titre: Control Center for LinuxVillage
Posté par: Taco.22 le 14 juin 2013 à 16:22:16
This is a hack of the Tinyme/Swift/Antix Control Center for LinuxVillage.  Download it here. (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18945176/VillageCC.zip)  There are three components in the zip package -

It is based on the following software being installed -
There are nineteen functions - required software as follows.
Desktop Effects and Printer Setup are two scripts I wrote - the first can be found here (http://linuxvillage.net/index.php/topic,403.msg2768.html#msg2768) and the other is found in VillageBox and Scorpio.
Keeptalking is a Semplice application and is also found in VillageBox and Scorpio.
Gnome-system-tools supplies time-admin and users-admin and can be installed via "apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-system-tools".

I have set the icons in a separate folder so that icon-theme changes don't mess things around.  The big issue is if default software changes.  For example, if wicd-gtk is replaced with network-manager-gnome, or if the default text editor or terminal is different.  This is just an example of how a Control Center could look - the final details would need to be thrashed out.  Of course the villagecc.sh file can be edited to take into account any differences - it's even easier than html!

I can think of one more I don't see anywhere.     xbacklight to set
screen brightness.

Oh good - xbacklight will neatly fill in the gap on the Desktop panel!

Nice work. Just a little detail, would it bother to name it Openbox Control Center rather than Linuxvillage Control Center ? We are a Linux Village and I don't quite see a center where the linuxvillagers would/should be controlled. :P

Nice.

It would be nice if you could generate the XML content when the application is started. This way you could check if program X is installed and then add it to the XML.
