 |
|
I tried to add an iconbar to enlightenment0.17
Like it is descibed here :
Iconbar
Make a copy of a script for iconbar in your home/bin directory.
$ cp /usr/local/share/enlightenment/data/scripts/build_iconbar_db.sh ~/bin
Make .e_layout directory in default directory, and run the script to create the .db file that will make the iconbar appear:
$ cd ~/.e/desktop/default/
$ mkdir .e_layout
$ cd .e_layout
$ build_iconbar_db.sh . (Don't forget adding . )
If you want to change the iconbar, open ~/bin/build_iconbar_db.sh and edit as you like. This is an example.
....
....
setup
icon $SYSIC"/gnome-term.png" "Eterm"
icon $SYSIC"/gnome-emacs.png" "xemacs"
icon $SYSIC"/netscape.png" "mozilla"
icon $SYSIC"/gnome-irc.png" "xchat"
icon $SYSIC"/gnome-gimp.png" "gimp"
icon $SYSIC"/gnome-audio2.png" "xmms"
If you don't get an iconbar, just quit and restart E17.
But there is no iconbar after all!
what can i do?
greetingz, tomboy |

try this way:

| Quote: | you can use first iconbar_left.bits.db (you will find it in /usr/e17/share/enlightenment/data/iconbar/) cp it in your home directory:
~/.e/desktop/default/.e_layout/ you will have to create these directories
then cp /usr/e17/share/enlightenment/data/scripts/build_iconbar_db.sh to your home directory
important or it won't work edit this script and comment the second and the last line i.e:
#BIT=$1"/iconbar.bits.db"
#cp -f $PREFIX"/share/enlightenment/data/iconbar/iconbar_left.bits.db"
you can add lines like that "icon $SYSIC"/gnome-x.png" "x"
then sh build_iconbar_db.sh ~/.e/desktop/default/.e_layout |
| Quote: | | i just want to add that after running the script a file named iconbar.db is created you can edit it with edb_gtk_ed to add or remove icons or edit the script to create a new iconbar.db |
it really works you just have to restart enlightenment each time you run the script |

This is message i sent to furrythugs when he asked me about e17
| Quote: | i dont know how tiny that u meant by "tiny" but does it looks tiny to you?
Since u managed to get 1224 to installed, there are things that u need to do, create | Code: | | $HOME/.e/desktop/0/.e_layout |
This is where all the configs db are stored.
to create your own menu , copy | Code: | | $PREFIX/share/enlightenment/data/scripts/build_app_menu_db.sh |
into $HOME/.e/behavior, modify the script and run it and restart enlightenment (ctrl-alt-end). Actually there is an easy way, just run
to change background u need db image file which u can use ebony to create it an copy/link it to | Code: | | $HOME/.e/desktop/0/.e_layout/background.db |
for example link any of these backgrounds from $PREFIX/share/enlightenment/data/background to $HOME/.e/desktop/0/.e_layout/background.db
to create and iconbar copy | Code: | | $PREFIX/share/enlightenment/data/scripts/build_iconbar_db.sh |
to anywhere u like, modify it and run | Code: | | ./build_iconbar_db.sh $HOME/.e/desktop/0/.e_layout |
last thing, $HOME/.e/desktop/0 is defined as your first desktop that means your can have entirely different desktop creates under $HOME/.e/desktop/1 including menu, background, iconbar etc.. But if u like to have desktops with the same looks just symlink 0 to 1
| Code: | shelt@localsystem pty/s0 desktop $ ls -l
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 shelt shelt 4096 Jan 2 16:40 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 shelt shelt 4096 Jan 2 16:25 ..
drwxr-xr-x 5 shelt shelt 4096 Jan 2 16:26 0
lrwxr-xr-x 1 shelt shelt 1 Jan 2 16:39 1 -> 0
lrwxr-xr-x 1 shelt shelt 1 Jan 2 16:39 2 -> 0
lrwxr-xr-x 1 shelt shelt 1 Jan 2 16:39 3 -> 0

if it is still not working then remember to copy
/usr/e17/share/enlightenment/data/layout/desktop.bits.db
to the same directory as the iconbar files.

(check e1x.codewordt.co.uk -> e17)

I can't seem to get the iconbar working with 20030111-r1, and I've done "./build_iconbar_db.sh $HOME/.e/desktop/0/.e_layout"
I don't get any errors when running it.
BTW, thanks vers_iq, your tips helped me get my background changed and modify my menu. |

| Actually I found I was lacking the layout.db file and got it up and running. I found one in the default desktop folder, but it was too small for any icons to fit on it, just a couple arrows. I grabbed an icon bar off of cuddletech and finally got it working. |
