desknotes

Hi,
I am having an issue with desknotes. Adesklets runs just fine on my system. I am running Slackware 10.2 and use fluxbox 0.9.13 as my window manager. The problem is that when I first start up X, desknotes appears scaled down to about 1/2 of the size it should be. Restarting adesklets or moving desknotes causes it to scale up to the right size.

Here's my config.txt:

Code:

# -*- coding: ASCII -*-
id10 = {'bg_colour': (246, 243, 162, 100),
 'border_colour': (0, 0, 0, 200),
 'border_width': 1,
 'editor': 'aterm -tn linux -e vi',
 'font': 'Vera/10',
 'notes_file': '/home/george/.desknotes',
 'padding': 5,
 'text_colour': (0, 0, 0, 255)}

(Thanks for starting this thread!)

Update:

The problem seems to have gone away. I changed the value of transparency in the border colour parameter to 0. Since then, even after reverting to the original configuration I have not been able to reproduce the problem. Strange -- because the problem had been there for the last several days.

If it reappears, I'll post a report.

Cheers,
geo

The problem has reappeared. apparently it only happens when I reboot. If I exit X and then do startx all is fine. Most confusing :? Any ideas??

Hi everybody,

I just started playing around with aDesklets and I really love it.

Here is my dumb question.

How do I create multiple notes in desknotes? I can create only one and I was not able to find any indication of how I could create more notes.

Thanks for your help.

Ciao,
Alberto

The drill is the same for almost all desklets: register multiple instances of the desklet, relaunch adesklets, set the desklets position on your screen using the context menu (all the newly registered instances will be stacked in the leftmost, topmost corner of your screen) and adapt the desklet configuration file to your need (in this case, you will probably want to have different notes file for different instances) . A detailed explanation can be found in Chapter 4 of the adesklets manual. Yours,

Crashes when testing. Calendar, Weather, and Mailer desklets work fine though.

Code:


user@helix ~/.adeskletapps/desknotes-0.0.1 $ ./desknotes.py
