vsido-exit (systemd based logout script for VSIDO)

[PackRat]

Using the same code seems impossible that one is centered and one is not

I don't understand that either. As a wild guess, I tried a bunch of different gtk themes in case there is something broken there; no changes.

How large in inches is the size of the logout popup on your screen?

It's the 543x275 pixels as specified by the yad script; approximately 7.5 x 4 inches (gimp print size).

Remembered there is a larger image in the ~/images -

Would this dialog normally need to be maximised or minimised? I fact, would it need a title either?

Just my 2 cents.

The old one did not and I think plain Jane is quite nice..

[ozitraveller]

I quite like plain Jane!

version #2:

Code: [Select]

#!/usr/bin/env bash
vslo_menu (){
vslo_ttle="vs-session-manager"
vslo_clas="$vslo_ttl"
vslo_wico="/usr/share/pixmaps/logout_window.png"
vslo_logo="/usr/share/pixmaps/logout_logo.png"
vslo_bute="/usr/share/pixmaps/logout_exit.png"
vslo_buts="/usr/share/pixmaps/logout_suspend.png"
vslo_butr="/usr/share/pixmaps/logout_reboot.png"
vslo_butq="/usr/share/pixmaps/logout_shutdown.png"
vslo_main=$(yad --title="$vslo_ttle" --class="$vslo_clas" --window-icon="$vslo_wico" --width="543" --height="275" --image="$vslo_logo" --center --fixed --on-top --buttons-layout=center --button="Logout!$vslo_bute!Logout of VSIDO:2" --button="Suspend!$vslo_buts!Suspend VSIDO:3" --button="Reboot!$vslo_butr!Reboot VSIDO:4" --button="Shutdown!$vslo_butq!Shutdown VSIDO:5")
vslo_main=$?
Is that a typo on line 4? Should it read:

Code: [Select]

vslo_clas="$vslo_ttle"
to match line #3 so that the class name will be "vs-session-manager"

@PackRat Someone with a bit of Gimp'ing talent can create an empty transparent canvas of around 550 x 225 and put the VSIDO orb on top of it and merge the layers. The resulting image then can be manipulated into YAD window.

The first one is the requested size of 550x225

The second one is 675 x 200 to accommodate for a fifth (Cancel) button

The third one is 675 x 225 for consistency.. I think 200 height will be fine but we shall see

The more and more I search about images and yad the more I think they do not coexist well at all

Plain Jane is my vote for a 5 button with:

Cancel Logout Suspend Reboot Shutdown

[Snap]

^ Agreed. I like it plain too.

[Snap]

I like this even better

[hakerdefo]

@Snap I don't know french so I'll take it as a joke

[hakerdefo]

The more and more I search about images and yad the more I think they do not coexist well at all

Code: [Select]

man yad | grep "image"


Set the dialog image which appears on the left side of dialog. IMAGE might be file name or icon name from current icon theme.

As I already said in one of my previous posts yad always allign image on the left side of dialog.

RatMan as I keep repeating in this forum you are the man!
That is a typo! Thanks for the pointer!
Cheers!!!

Hi there mate,
The titlebar is necessary as it provides the 'cancel' option via the close button. And perhaps you didn't try the script otherwise you would have noticed the window is fixed-size. It wouldn't maximize. In a good window manager theme the maximize button would remain hidden or disabled.
Just my two cents

You mean like this?



I didn't see a "border only" type option for yad in the man page so you can put this in the ~/.fluxbox/apps

Code: [Select]

[app] (name=yad) (class=vs-session-manager)
  [Shaded] {no}
  [Deco] {BORDER}       # change {BORDER} to {0x627} for titlebar, borders, close button only
  [Minimized] {no}
  [Maximized] {no}
  [Fullscreen] {no}
  [Layer] {2}
  [Alpha] {255}
[end]

Here is V3 as promised. A new feature and new icons 
What is the new feature? "Screen Lock" is the new feature.
It allows you to quickly lock your session when need be.
This option will only be visible in the dialog if you have any one of the following installed,

Code: [Select]

lightdm
suckless-tools
i3lock
light-locker
xscreensaver

The script will prefer the "Screen Lock" helper application in the above order.
If none of the above is installed the "Screen Lock" button won't appear in the dialog menu.

I have decided to rename the script to "vs-session-manager" to avoid any conflict with the current "vsido-exit" script.

So here is how to install V3,
Download the attached vs-session-manager.tar.gz archive. Extract its contents into a directory.
Open that directory in terminal emulator.
Run the following commands,

Code: [Select]

sudo cp vs-session-manager /usr/local/bin/


Code: [Select]

sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/vs-session-manager


Code: [Select]

sudo cp vs-session-manager.desktop /usr/share/applications/


Code: [Select]

sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/applications/vs-session-manager.desktop


Code: [Select]

sudo cp logout_exit.png logout_lock.png logout_reboot.png logout_shutdown.png logout_suspend.png vs-session-manager.svg /usr/share/pixmaps/

You can manually add an entry for "vs-session-manager" in Fluxbox menu.
It will autometically show as "vs-session-manager" in the main menu of any freedesktop.org compliant DE or WM.

Feedback welcome 

Here is a scrot of "vs-session-manager" in action,

Cheers!!!
