Goals for the next release
|
|
|
|
·> Provide a simple graphical utility for persistent configuration
|
|
|
|
·> Add an initial configuration dialog that runs on first start
|
|
|
|
·> Further modularization of the design (and make the grouping more consistent) [IN PROGRESS]
|
|
|
|
·> Proper code style (indentation, etc) [SO FAR SO GOOD]
|
|
|
|
·> Attempt to reduce depedence on external programs further, where possible [IN PROGRESS]
|
|
|
|
·> Increase portability through the use of "which" when executing programs [USING IF [ -x ] INSTEAD]
|
|
|
|
·> Refine the aesthetic [LOOKING GOOD SO FAR]
|
|
|
|
·> Implement a proper mechanism for switching themes on the fly [LOOKING GOOD SO FAR - PAPE WORKS]
|
|
|
|
·> FIX THE UI SCALING ISSUES!!! [SHOULD BE WORKING - TEST]
|
|
|
|
·> Implement rudimentary keyboard-based window management including tiling
|
|
|
|
·> Dialog system to replace XMessage?
|
|
|
|
·> Try to write a POSIX script to generate automatic menus, instead of using
|
|
XDG Menu Maker. Requiring Python for a lightweight "DE" is stupid.
|
|
[EDIT] Scheme would be better for this
|
|
|
|
·> Write a script for automating the process of theme creation? Would be nice.
|
|
Maybe try to use Scheme for this.
|
|
|
|
·> Write wrapper scripts using FvwmButtons for MPV, FFPlay, MPlayer, etc that
|
|
otherwise can't open on their own. Maybe implement a file-chooser and such?
|
|
|
|
·> Convert all included graphics to png, to reduce library requirements.
|
|
|
|
·> Attempt to make features useable with other tools, like
|
|
ImageMagick's "import" instead of scrot [LOOKING GOOD SO FAR]
|
|
|
|
·> Use POSIX shell for simple calculations, and Scheme for more complex tasks
|
|
such as generating program lists [LOOKING GOOD SO FAR]
|
|
|
|
·> Write a screenshot function and add wide-area or specific-area flags to
|
|
Hunter
|
|
|
|
·> Write the "Waiter" script in Scheme, to automatically generate valid FVWM
|
|
menus using the XDG specification.
|
|

|
|
Overall structure will be the following
|
|
|
|
|
|
mainrc
|
|
/ | \
|
|
/ | \
|
|
.prefs infra/ modules/
|
|
/ | | |
|
|
/ progs/ * *
|
|
assets |
|
|
/ | \ *
|
|
widgets audio colors
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
main will read the preferences file, which will tell it what colorset,
|
|
soundfont, and widgets to load from assets (plus stuff like wallpaper).
|
|
it will also be responsible for reading in the preferred programs,
|
|
listed under the progs directory.
|
|
|
|
main will then read in all files under the infra/ directory; this will
|
|
be responsible for defining the functions, window management, and misc
|
|
details of the inner workings of things. they will be broken up by category;
|
|
windrc for window management, funcrc for functions, menurc for menus, cosmrc
|
|
for cosmetics (i.e the assignment of colors and widgets to objects)
|
|
|
|
lastly, main will read in all relevant modules; at a bare minimum, this
|
|
includes the Shelf, the Taskbar, and the Command modules. It will also
|
|
execute the StartFunction and DaemonFunction, to initialize FXDE.
