Hello,

I wonder what is the note taking desklets on this screenshot:

Any idea?

Thanks

Thats my desktop! :D

basically, its just the doityourself desklet that grabs the contents of a file (in my case ~/.notes) with the cat command. I bound the 'on click' to gedit ~/.notes

I'm still using version 0.2.1 of doityourself I think.

WOW, seem simple... Is it?

Your desktop is really nice BTW

Code:


# Exit immediately if any command fails:
set -e

case $1 in
    test)
        echo "Notes:"
        cat ~/.notes
        ;;
    click)
        gedit ~/.notes &
        echo "Notes:"
        cat ~/.notes
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Usage: $0 [ test | click ] test-value"
esac

is the script code I use for that notes thing. It will only work with older versions of doityourself though as far as I know.

Well, that particular script will work fine even with the newest version, as it does not use any of the "bells and whistles" :D
