Updated: Sidebar

[nevermind85]

I've been having some issues with this Sidebar plugin, and I have no idea of Python whatsoever, but I find very easy to read almost any kind of code.

The problem that i had is that the screenlet loaded, but nothing showed; so while sneaking through the code, images and SVG, i've found out that in the SVGs of many skins, the PNG image that was linked from inside, was linked using an absolute path, so I edited them in some cases, and in others I just used the PNG image. In both cases I had to google for the PNG image's sources.

I'm uploading it so that you can try it and see if it works now. Of course I take absolutely no credit for it, and i can erase the file if the author desires so.

BTW, the Sidebar folder inside, should be extracted to your ~/.screenlets or to /usr/local/share/screenlets in order for the screenlet to load the images...

Only wanted to note that I really like the idea of the SidebarScreenlet. It should greatly help all the people who want to imitate the Vista-look (and there are quite a few, I know) ... Good work!

Would it be acceptable for you to add a link to this subforum (or the "official" screenlets-post) to the gnome-look entry of the SidebarScreenlet? I guess it should simplify finding the screenlets "core-package" needed for using the Sidebar ... (Only an idea, though - feel free to keep it as it is :D)

im going to post a new topic on these forum and linking the gnome-look entry here, where exactly should i make the post? in the screenlets /widgets forum? or in a subforum?

Thank you. Screenlets/Widgets was the right one :D ...
