Hello everyone,
It's my first post since a while, and the new forum looks great : nicer, easier, and better then. Subcategories are also easier to use.
Here are a few thoughts about the new cooking :
1. New TazWeb (slitaz browser) is great : very simple, and does the job of allowing web access from a minimal install ; of course, it's too simple for my needs, but I can check my connection and access forum and documentation with it from a minimal install. I can then install a "complete" browser like Firefox or Chrome which would be best suited for my needs. I wasn't at ease with the use of Midori, which is in my opinion a "no no" : not very stable (lots of freeze), not enough features and not as widespread as Firefox or Chrome. I would appreciate nonetheless a few more shortcuts on TazWeb : Alt + D for quick access to the address bar, and Backspace for the previous page. Maybe a Ctrl + F if a search feature was to be implemented, but I'm not sure it's the target
2. tint2 should be in the x-window section, like lxpanel. And be aware that the tint2conf utility requires python in order to use
3. I like the 2 panels in the new cooking, like ubuntu. I just miss a logout menu...
4. I still miss, in the subox utility, the direct use of the Enter key instead of using the mouse to click on the OK button
Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward the 4.0 release !

offlineKey MasterHi,
Thanks for the feedback.
1. I will mybe add some shourtcut but not now, I have a lot of other stuff to code and fix!
3. You have a logout entry in the main menu, what you would like is a logout button somewher on a panel ?
4. Ah subox and ENTER, it is a limitation of GTKdialog used to create subox, this will change since we are moving to Yad for subox.

offlineMember1. Doesn't surprise me ! But I definitely like the inclusion of a minimalist browser...
3. I'd like a button in addition to (and not in place of) an usual entry in a menu. I think it's quicker. Actually, I was thinking about something like a menu button (with a power icon) giving access to a submenu with the 3 entries from the current exit dialog box : reboot, shutdown and close session. Maybe there could be a timeout box (20 secondes) to allow cancelling...
4. OK, sorry for the repetition. I've just found this link, maybe it could help : http://www.developpez.net/forums/d884821/general-developpement/programmation-systeme/linux/gtk/pygtk/validation-toucher-enter-gtk-dialog/

offlineKey Master1. You have to remember that tazweb is written from scratch in C by pankso using the libwebkit library. It's still pretty much a work in progress, but it does what it's designed for pretty well. You'll see what I mean when some of pankso's latest additions get released ;)
2. Doesn't tint2 require python anyway? Also be aware that all tint2conf does is switch themes configs.
4. We were using (b)ash shell scripts and gtkdialog to generate subox and many of the panels/boxes you see used in SliTaz. What you're referring to python based and SliTaz generally tries to go without scripting languages to save space on the iso.Posted 13 years ago # -

offlineKey MasterYep,
3. It may be confuding, our gtkdialog id a scripting language: http://code.google.com/p/gource/ Easy to learn put unmaintanined (so why things lke notification, enter for a value and other dont work) gtk-dialog is a widget in GTK itsefl and pyGTK rubyGTK and other binding have this also this class
Now we will have a new kinf of interface for all related administration task provided by TazWeb and zhe upcomming TazPanel. BUt some boxes cant be handle by TazPanel (technicaly it could but would not be sexy:-), subox is the perfect example so it will stay GTK box but we are going to use Yad.
I just commited a new notification mechnanisme for packages upgrade using Yad and I published some doc for those who wants to help for new boxes on SliTaz:
