zenity script

It great to see some neighbors here
Just install poedit from synaptic and you can easily translate the po file.
Leiche offer to add it.

Unfortunately there isn't much effort in translating pclos I would like to see it more

Zdravo, slax!
It's good to me too.

Thank you for the poedit hint, I didn't know about it.

[uncleV]

add your language file in the attachment, and i rebuild the package (add it)
You need the pot file (attached), remove .txt.
How to translate see here
http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,59145.0.html
Hope it's help

Downloaded the attachment and translated it using for the first time poedit.

Attached here but I'm not sure everything got right because get this message while saving the translation:

/home/uncleV/Desktop/ezswitch_bg.pot:7: some header fields still have the initial default value

Bookmark 7 is translated and the original and translated lines look the same except the translated words.

First of all: great script.
However, we are kind of in the dark when we change themes. We only have a name, and a reboot is needed in order to see what it loks like.
Couldn't there be a post (sticky) where one could take a look at the available themes?
Thanks again.

  I have been thinking on that. Were you reading my mind?

Since plymotuh themes are animated, I think it would be relatively easy to embed video in a post linking to the demos I've seen around the web for some themes.
Where there isn't any video, a simple still image could be made.
Besides, those images could be included in the package and your script could be modified with a preview button.
On top of that, you could solve the problem in Iraq.

Coffeetime posted a video in the thread on the Radically Simple theme.
Bet you want it all yesterday.

  Iraq!?!?? Hmm...... no ideas that I can post here.

You can test different plymouth themes from init level 3 (no X) without rebooting:

(from http://brej.org/blog/?p=158 and http://blog.fpmurphy.com/2009/09/project-plymouth.html)

First set up a script to simplify things:
(I used /usr/bin/plymouth-test-theme):

Code: (/usr/bin/plymouth-test-theme)

#!/bin/bash
#

# check that we are in an appropriate runlevel
rlevel=$(runlevel | cut -d " " -f 2)
if [[ "$rlevel" != "2"  && "$rlevel" != "3" ]]
then
    echo "ERROR: You must be at runlevel 2 or 3"
    exit 1
fi

echo "checking plymouthd status"
plymouth --ping || plymouthd
sleep 2

echo "selecting theme: $1"
plymouth-set-default-theme $1
sleep 2

echo "starting plymouth preview"
plymouth --show-splash
sleep 2

for ((I=0; I<10; I++)); do
  plymouth --update=test$I
  sleep 1
done

plymouth quit

..save in /usr/bin and make it executable



Switch to init level 3 (as root; close / save work first!)

Code:

init 3
<at prompt, log in as root again>

Get a list of installed themes:

Code:

plymouth-set-default-theme --list

Test theme (adjust name of script if you used a different name in the first step):

Code:

plymouth-test-theme  <insert name of theme>

When you have tested all your themes, return to normal session (init 5):

Code:

init 5

..and then use our fine script to switch to a new plymouth theme!

You guys are amazing!

Switching runlevels is not for the faint-hearted. Not that it is difficult to do, but for those who don't understand linux it can be scary if anything goes wrong. I like this idea of playing a very small theora video capture in a window as a preview of the animated theme. Would this be difficult to do?

Me the noob go to /usr/share/plymouth/themes/*/ and click the PNGs there. animation.png gives me the animation.

Btw, Neal, here on LXDE-Mini I have details, text, PCLXDE and PCLOS, the latter two being exactly the same by files and animation.

This can probably be implemented in ezswitch? 
At least we can try...

[Neal ManBear]

Perhaps a different script? > EZTest?

EZThemePreview?
