ok, so i've got a couple of people who want to use my pacman desklet but run very minimal window managers, one is actually trying to develop his own :? at any rate, i've been asked if i could make something similar but windowed. now in the adesklets primer in the documentation theres window_reset "managed" so i'm assuming it's possible. i've had a play around but couldn't figure out how to do it with the Events class etc, any tips on how i could go about doing this?

thanks :)

Look at test/test.py from base source distribution... There is nothing more to it. As for the "run very minimal window manager" bit, adesklets play especially well on those, so I fail to see the difficulty... Any details?

[EDIT]
Any link to you pacman desklet current code? Is this the latest?

Yup, that's the one. And I was wrong, the guy who wants a window doesn't really say why, jsut that he uses wmii and "doesn't have much desktop space".

Thanks for the pointer, I'll check out the example :)
