 |
|
I want to change the look of e_modules-forecasts so the popup window background is a different color. I edited the e_modules/forecasts/forecasts.edc file but rebuilding the module, doesn't pick up my changes any ideas as to what I can do?

I'm having a real hard time finding forecasts in the e_modules cvs-src folder. Where exactly is this located?

I'm using the Gentoo overlay (Vapier's Dev Overlay). I followed directions here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_emerge_e17#Installation
e_modules-forecasts will be placed at /usr/portage/local/x11-plugins

I haven't messed with e17 modules in a while, but I used to. First you need to decompile the module with | Code: | | edje_decc <module.edj> |
A folder will be created with the name <module>. There will be some pictures (most likely in png format) a script called build.sh and an .edc file. You can change the images and edit the .edc file to change the module. I still only have a basic grasp of it myself, but just look the code through and do some trial and error. The code is very C-like and not that hard to read eventually once you get the hang of it. Once finished you can recompile the module using the build script (which is ridiculously easy to edit).
I'm probably going to get back into making e17 backgrounds in the next few days and should shake the rust off. If you need more help I'll see what I can do once I'm back into practice. |

So it's in /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/e_modules/forecasts/
Making that damn popup-on-mouseover configurable to show up only on-click or not at all would be cool.

I think that you need to be looking in /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/e17/apps/e/data/themes/default_gadman.edc at the group e/gadman/popup.
The forecasts.edc included with the module is out of date, and describes modules/forecasts/popup as an edje group. This group isn't referenced anywhere in the modules code, and so no theme is set for e/gadman/popup. In this case the module relies on the e17 theme itself for e/gadman/popup definitions or it falls back on the default look.
edje_decc your favourite theme, alter (or add) the e/gadman/popup group to your needs using the default theme as a reference, but do remember that this will alter the appearance of ALL module popups. If you want a specific background just for the forecasts module, i think you may need to alter the code slightly. I'm not sure if it's possible to provide a separate edj for the forecasts module at this point.
Hope this helps
