making graphical user interfaces will likely scrare the pants of anyone who's attempting to get there from a nubile ground zero. dont be. zenity and yad are kinda revolutionising that stuff, expecially if you've already had the good sense to start getting some shell scripting savvy. :)
here's my initial foray (much thanks to statmonkey's scripts, which reading them made this all the more simple).
#!/bin/bash
#this is digit's first poke at zenity, dont expect much beyond hello world, ok.
zenity --question --title="zenjit rudimentary" --text="alo cosmos?" --ok-label="gosh, yes!"
ok, there you go. rudimentary ball rolling!
yeah, i know it doesnt really do anything yet... that will come next.
besides reading other people's zenity and yad scriptings, the man pages and help output is really useful too. :)
p.s.
added another line after that, in case that^ alone doesnt make it clear where to go from there.zenity --question --text="there we go then" --ok-label="...k"
so you see... it's simple, just like script writing.
