Patch to support avant-window-navigator

[tristil]

With the patch, status changes are reflected in the icon in awn (like Adium). Currently hardwired to Goojim icons.

Fix it for other icons and I'll patch gajim soon after that Thx for your work

[tristil]

Well, what I propose is to introduce a set of dock status images in a separate directory in data/ so that each theme can control them. For now, I can just copy over the other data files into that directory (for example, I used 32x32-sized notification area icons as the icon in the dock for everything but online), but in the future they should probably be separately developed large images (probably SVG). In Adium, the duck holds up signs, closes his eyes, opens his eyes and quacks when there's a message, etc :) What should the directory be called, btw?

How can I install this patch?

(In [8091]) [tristil] avant window navigator support. fixes #3081

Thanks for the patch, it's been added to svn. the problem is that it makes avant-window-navigator segfault in some cases. for exemple when you use sun them and go offline or invisible.

Okay, made it so that it checks the iconsets theme directory for a folder "awn" with the icons in it. If it doesn't exist, it defaults to Goojim icons. The Awn guy hasn't made any updates in a while, so I'm not sure if we should invest any more energy in this for the time being. OTOH, I will be happy to add features (animations, etc) to this if development continues on Awn.

[asterix]

The segfault doesn't happen because icon doesn't exists, offline and invisible icons for sun theme exist in 32x32 format. I don't know why awn segfaults.

[tristil]

Maybe there is an unsupported feature in those two pngs, like preserved layers. In any case, I don't get any segfaults, because the patch makes each theme responsible for having an awn folder, else it uses Goojim.

[asterix]

I dont think it's a good idea to add a folder, that is just a copy of 32x32 folder, to support a awn. moreover default theme in gajim is dcraven, not goojim. I think it's ok the way it is. If awn segfaults, it's not really our pb.

[sb]

It seems that some iconsets don't have 32x32 sized icons is also a reason for not doing anything (I use stellar, no changes happened) Besides, why are there no svg icons for any iconset? IMHO, 32x32 is too small for awn.

[anonymous]

we have SVG on ftp.gajim.org. I never tested to use them directly in Gajim. Maybe that would solve the systray pb ...

[sb]

The patch does not reflect all status changes that happen, only manual changes through the combo box, right? For example auto-away is not included by that approach.

[asterix]

it does. It reflects the global combobox status

[sb]

Ah, no I see where this comes from. When gajim is minimized to tray, there is no status about the window at all in awn, what I see is the starter icon, which does not recognize that there is a running gajim process. So it is awns fault, sorry.

Please, tell us how can we install this plugin!

you have nothing to install, just have AWN installed and python-dbus to communicate with it.

Thank you for reply.

I have awn and python-dbus package installed trough Synaptics. When I lunch gajim from awn bar and change the gajim status the changed status will not appear on the awn bar. (I use ubuntu 7.10) So how can I make python-dbus communicate with awn?

[asterix]

which Gajim version do you use ? AWN is only in svn

[anonymous]

I use: Gajim 0.11.2 from ubuntu official gutsy repository an avant-window-navigator 0.2.0 from this repository: http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42

[asterix]

you'll have to wait 0.12 release to use AWN, or use svn version or daily snapshot here: http://gajim.org/downloads/snap/
