| pankso@62 | 1 Yad on SliTaz |
| pankso@62 | 2 ================================================================================ |

| paul@265 | 5 Yad is the new preferred way to create GUI boxes for the SliTaz desktop. We use |
| pankso@62 | 6 Yad GTK boxes for all user and administrator interfaces that can't be handled |
| pankso@62 | 7 by TazPanel (admin panel) or TazDE (desktop environment). Both are powered |
| paul@66 | 8 by CGI scripts and use xHTML 5 and CSS 3 for the UI. Yad is a powerful tool |
| paul@66 | 9 which supports the latest GTK actions and goodies. With our original GTKdialog |
| paul@66 | 10 scripts some nice features were missing like for example --notification or |
| pankso@62 | 11 ENTER for event (with gtkdialog one must press a button). |
| pankso@62 | 12 |
| paul@76 | 13 If you're motivated to code, please have a look at the TODO file and continue |
| pankso@62 | 14 reading :-) |

| paul@265 | 17 Coding guidelines |
| pankso@62 | 18 ---------------- |
| paul@66 | 19 Use a function and a function_main for main= variable to keep data, |
| paul@66 | 20 that way we can have yad boxes commands separated from shell scripts. |
| pankso@62 | 21 Here is a structure example: |
| pankso@62 | 22 |
| pankso@62 | 23 # function_main |
| pankso@62 | 24 # function_other |
| pankso@62 | 25 # function |
| pankso@62 | 26 |
| pankso@62 | 27 Use gettext to have a translated application and forget echo. Use 'case' |
| paul@66 | 28 as much as possible, it is the faster way to handle or parse commands |
| pankso@62 | 29 and options. Use fgrep when possible. |
| pankso@62 | 30 |
| pankso@62 | 31 To start you will find a template script called tazyad, copy it and start |
| paul@66 | 32 coding from that :-). Tazyad is commented to help you get started. |
| paul@66 | 33 You can also have a look to tazpkg-notify which was the first official Yad |
| pankso@62 | 34 script for SliTaz. |

| pankso@62 | 37 Missing stuff |
| pankso@62 | 38 ------------- |
| paul@66 | 39 I'm a member of Yad Google group and will mail them about SliTaz using Yad |
| paul@66 | 40 and these missing features. Yad is a small project but the maintainer seems |
| paul@66 | 41 a very nice guy who listens to his users :-) |
| pankso@62 | 42 |
| pankso@62 | 43 * It would be nice to have an --exit or --kill option for notification |
| paul@66 | 44 * No way to have a custom icon for custom button |
