bl-yad_exit it is, thanks. And on my system it will always be blunder-exit.

I'm in the process of making the script more modular, with drop-in vars for the dialogs. That should make it easier to have a variety of options and styles just from script parameters, without hard-coding every possible dialog.

Sounds like a good improvement, and BTW I really did like what you did recreating the current interface :-)

I might have tried something like it myself, just hadn't tracked down the image paths.

If that works but isn't perfect, you might need to tell yad some monospaced font so all characters occupy the same width.
Update, it's a yukky font but you wanted to see what left justified looks like:
That's using plain ordinary spaces. Works even better if you start from the block with the accelerators in the right field 8)

Works pretty well with Roboto Mono as the font.
@hhh, Roboto Mono installed by default?

bl-blunderout just for your system

Should be the name for every system 8o

I just picked the first monospaced font I saw listed by

yad --font

That'll give you a preview of the ones it knows about.

^ that's another handy yad command; I created a *.desktop file for that.

It is not by default, but if you're suggesting it we'll certainly consider it.

Looking good to me @damo though seeing them all at once points up the button labels are inconsistent Restart PC vs Reboot, was that my error? I wouldn't put it past me :monkey: I probably adapted the "minimalist" version for my alignment demo or some-such rushing things oversight. They probably both want to say "Reboot", given @hhh likes alt+b for the accelerator.

I've seen Alt-b used in other DEs before, I'm sure. On my current lithium setup, Alt-r opens the resize-window cursor/arrow keys and takes precedence over the exit script shortcut. I'll have to check my rc.xml and see if I have done something silly there.

-edit- Nope, search string not found. No clue why I'm getting this behavior, but a simple enough workaround.

Seems a good enough reason right there, I didn't consider making that comparison.

It is just a demo of various layouts. If we decide to run with a variety of options it is easy enough to make labels and accelerators consistent. BTW the icons-only theme has tooltips for mouse-hover.

Of course we should, it's one of the appeals of this solution, like tint2, conky selector, theme options in general. It was one of the reasons we went with bl-exit in the first place.

Nice!

Just thought I'd mention it is all, not meant as a criticism.

Dude, right now you have the biggest balls on the website, they are dragging on the ground. No humility is necessary, though it's certainly appreciated.

Understood, of course - the more eyes there are on proposals, the better it is for a robust solution.

hhh · 2019-03-03 23:07:52

@B_B. I gave your avatar some personality. For five seconds it was "Biggest balls on the forum" but I settled for something a bit more dignified.

I was just curious, but sure, I'll suggest you add it in. Roboto (sans) and Roboto Mono are nice, clean fonts that theme well and look good in terminal emulators.
