(SOLVED) Yad startup script for ceni

[misko_2083]

@ misko_2083

Thanks for that!  I will look more into making the script a cosmetic makeover

I see you've managed to make Yad script working the way you want.
In the meantime I made vsido-start.py Not as fancy as YAD though.  Some python and gtk3+.

Wow, very nice work misko_2083!

Any reason as to why python would be a better choice? 

Thank you

It's all the same.
For example this is the equivalent of hakerdefo's script:

I assume he intended to run it with sudo. Same problem here, it starts Wicd GTK interface with elevated privileges.
Just played a little with css here. Python and Css are a great combo.

Edit.............................................................
Perhaps it's better to stick with yad. I'd like to help but who knows wheater I will have the time.
I have a few other things on my mind. We are making a control center and Ubuntu 14.04.3 will be out in a few days so I'll be busy next month as we prepareing a new release.
Cheers
