screenlets 0.9 + Showdesktop plugin

[coz]

Hello,
curious now that things have changed in screenlets 0.9, how would I exclude them from being moved when using the show desktop plugin in fusion?
Do each of these now have to have their own string in the plugin like & !(name=clock.py ) etc etc?
If not i would appreciate an working example of what to put into the show desktop plugin in order to prevent screenlets from being moved by this plugin.
Thanks

coz

Hi

"Show desktop" is no probs with latest Widget Layer

F9 works for Screenlets and Show desktop works....;)

hello plun,
Well guy, either I have absolutely no idea what you mean or you dont know what I mean :)
i have no problems with screenlets or the widget layer.
My problem is i want to "exclude" screenlets from the "showdekstop" funtions.
In other words .. when I use show desktop i want to see the screenlets there not hide them.
So if I misunderstood you, I apologize and ask that you explain that a little differenly.
thanks and please understand I mean no offense to you with this at all :)

Try unchecking "Hide skip taskbar windows" in the core options. This should give the desired behaviour :)
Screenlets aren't touched by the showdesktop plugin (as they have the "skip taskbar" and "skip pager" hints set), they are hidden by core.

What plun meant was that the widget plugin provides a match handler that you can use to reference recognized widgets (e.g. "type=normal & widget=1")

Well, thats OK in this labyrinth with functions...:D I dont take it as offense.

The widget layer takes care of my screenlets, every screenlet is defined
as "treat as widget" (right click properties) AND widget=1 as "Behavior", "Widget windows"

"End widget mode on click" unchecked and "Brightness" to 100% if
the Widget layer plugin is active.

Show desktop then works without "touching" my Screenlets.

F9 (the widget layer) turns on/off all screenlets

"Hide skip taskbar windows" can be both unchecked or checked.

Well, that's wrong. The widget plugin _provides_ the widget=1 match to other plugins; this match shouldn't be used in widget itself because it has no effect.
The widget plugin will detect the X property (set by right click -> Window -> Widget) automatically. The "widget=1" match is targeted at other plugins, such as animation (to get special animations for widgets).

The "widget=1" match will be true for every widget that has the _COMPIZ_WIDGET hint set, and additionally for every window that matches the match at Behaviour -> Widget windows. So you see it makes no sense to include "widget=1" in the "Widget windows" match, as it will break this match (because it will lead to including the match result in the match evaluation itself, leading to the match evaluation always returning false).

Hope this explanation makes sense :)

Yup...."Alles klar" ;) I just tested this without "widget=1"..... :p

The new Widget layer plugin works in "automagic" mode for Screenlets.

("End widget mode on click" > unchecked and Brightness to 100%.)

and "show desktop" also works....:cool:

OK! Thanks to both Maniac and plun. I understand .
Please know I meant no offense by my post at all :)
Disabling Hide Skip Taskbar Windows indeed stopped the desktop screenlets from being affected by the show desktop plugin.
Very interesting ... I didnt even make the associtation with that option and something like screenlets.. ...so thanks maniac and again plun thanks :)
Now I have a new piece of info for support !! :)
Thanks again guys it was really irritating to use screenlets the other way.

Well, indeed confusing :D....It is this plugin I am using....:p

I am also running everything from GIT with a script and I dont know when the new Widget layer hits package repos.

Where can I find that option? I'm on Ubuntu Fiesty.

Edit: Nevermind, found it in CCSM under general options. yay.

Any suggestions?

Probably missing building libs

sudo apt-get install git-core automake build-essential intltool libtool python-pyrex python2.5-dev

sudo apt-get build-dep compiz

Please take a look at Fydas excellent building thread for more info

That howto only installs packages... no dev tools and dev libs.

Did you install these ?


sudo apt-get install git-core automake build-essential intltool libtool python-pyrex python2.5-dev

sudo apt-get build-dep compiz

widget_options.h > h is headers which are included in dev libs.
