mintDesktop 1.6 released
We're getting ready for Daryna and a lot of mint tools are getting improved... this time it's mintDesktop, which had been neglected for quite a while.
What's new in version 1.6?
- Improved GUI (follows the new style set by mintUpdate and mintInstall)
- i18n (already supports English and French)
- New feature: splash screens restoration for Gimp, OpenOffice and Amarok.
Enjoy mintDesktop 1.6 and give us as much feedback as possible.

I have updated the XFCE CE one, but it doesn't look the same.

I'll take a look, but not sure if it will take up more memory.clem wrote:Merlwiz: You should be able to take the new glade file and simply remove the Desktop Items tab.

I have Xubuntu Gutsy and it uses more memory than Feisty, but some of the updates have lowered it.
You make it sound easy, but I think you still are looking at 0.2 sources.
In 0.3 I changed some of the base code to make it specific to XFCE CE.
I wasn't thinking about changing much just adding the Cancel button and moving them to the center.
I have no idea about adding i18n.
Have a look at the code:
for i18n:
- import gettext
- one line at the start to tell gettext where the locales are
- a folder called locale containing folders containing messages.po files (generate messages.mo with "sudo msgfmt messages.po".)
- in your python code, replace all strings "blabla" with _("blabla").
That's all...
As for the GUI changes it's mostly glade.. open the glade file with glade-2 or glade-3.. they share the same widget names as they had in previous mintDesktop releases.. you don't need to change your code.. just replace your glade file with this one, rename the restore buttons to fit your names and delete the desktop items tab.
It looks more complex than it is

Thanks for the info about i18n that sounds easy enough.
I think you misunderstood about changing the code.
I have changed it already in 0.3.
I like having everything in one window, so I don't think that will change.

LOL, I have been using mousepad to make all the changes.clem wrote:As for the GUI changes it's mostly glade.. open the glade file with glade-2 or glade-3.. they share the same widget names as they had in previous mintDesktop releases.. you don't need to change your code.. just replace your glade file with this one, rename the restore buttons to fit your names and delete the desktop items tab.
