Re: Wallpaper setter for Carbon - X11 and Wayland

^This all looks very promising. Fixed window for _splash and free for main sounds just right.
I'll get those patches in and report back.

First I want to backport picom though. Just for a change of pace.
EDIT well that didn't take long.
picom 11.2-0.1 from Sid built with no problems and fixed the round corners with xrender backend - on both xwwall and geany.

So we can just wait till it arrives in Trixie.

(Still can't use glx backend on qemu though. It's running fine on my real machine.)

Re: Wallpaper setter for Carbon - X11 and Wayland

3) Choose image, instead of pressing image in popup, mistakenly press "Confirm" in main dialogue - app freezes. I don't know how this should be fixed.

Now completely fixed because the main window is gone when the popup appears.

To display user's local wallpapers BGDIR needs adjusting:

export BGDIR="${BGDIR:-$HOME/Pictures/wallpapers}"

We've established that the symlink from $HOME/Pictures/wallpapers/bunsen to /usr/share/images/bunsen/wallpapers is being followed OK?

---

I always find efficient shell is better than python (probably more opining really!)

Bash can be slow sometimes, depending on what you're trying to do (efficient shell, right), but I've generally found python to be slower, yes. And if you can trim the shell code down to what will run on dash, for example, it's a good bit faster. (The BL places menu for example - when it was written the speed difference was really noticable. With modern hardware, not so much.)

---

...a configurable background color if you choose 'center'...
Only 1 color is supported, seems a bit complicated to add custom colors for each image but is possible. If I do I may as well support just a solid color for BG as well.

Even if you don't support individual backgrounds for each image, it might be worth being able to set a plain colour BG.

---
The confirm boxes might usefully display the selected image name.

---
The preferences dialogue box seems to be offering an image, when I would expect it to be allowing the user to choose the directory to search (recursively) for wallpapers.

---
And, workflow. Till just now I was wondering if it was necessary to get the user to confirm their choice of wallpaper no less than three times. How about going straight from the first popup where the mode and output are chosen - then no more questions asked? Just now I clicked the main dialogue when I should have clicked "confirm" and got warned that there were no more displays to configure, so I sort of see what that last confirmation might be doing, but still think it feels like overkill.

But OTOH, consider this kind of user: applies a wallpaper, decides the one they want is the next one, so wants to go back to the main image choice window to try that. Or maybe wants to try a different Mode. These people would prefer not to have to start the app up from scratch each time, but keep the main window until they press "Close".

But the final call on these things is yours.

Good and Yes

I always find efficient shell is better than python (probably more opining really!)

Bash can be slow sometimes, depending on what you're trying to do (efficient shell, right), but I've generally found python to be slower, yes. And if you can trim the shell code down to what will run on dash, for example, it's a good bit faster. (The BL places menu for example - when it was written the speed difference was really noticable. With modern hardware, not so much.)

#!/usr/bin/busybox ash offers a good compromise but still lose bash globbing and some other bash features. dash is a bit limited for such a complex script and externals can slow things a lot

Could probably add a colorbutton to the main gui.

---

Agreed, and shall implement, probably as tool-tips.

---
The preferences dialogue box seems to be offering an image, when I would expect it to be allowing the user to choose the directory to search (recursively) for wallpapers.

I need to mangle the string before the GUI, not after. Shall implement soon, and was aware of that shortfall.

But the final call on these things is yours.

On my local version, the confirm splash pops when monitor count is reached, not after. The actual confirm GUI can be re-entrant if a user makes a mistake or isn't happy.

So far, I think it's going pretty well, but probably more real world feedback is needed, especially the X11 side with multiple monitors (more than 2).

Perhaps I should build gtk3dialog for bookworm so that ordinary Boron users can join in on the testing.The more testers and feedback, the better the app will be.

Re: Wallpaper setter for Carbon - X11 and Wayland

Very much so. I think it's already an improvement on both Nitrogen and Azote.

but probably more real world feedback is needed, especially the X11 side with multiple monitors (more than 2).

Sounds like a good idea. We can ship it in BL's backports repo.

Re: Wallpaper setter for Carbon - X11 and Wayland

common wallpaper for Xorg and Wayland

I've just run into this, but if you set a wallpaper on Xorg and then boot into Wayland, 'xwwall --restore' will not restore it. Likewise in the other direction. The two backgound settings are independent. It's obvious because the Xorg wallpaper is set in ~/.fehbg and Wayland in ~/.config/xwwall/cmd

Carrying the same wallpaper over between the two sessions would mean some code rewriting, and I don't know if you'd feel like doing it or not.

For example, instead of ~/.config/xwwall/cmd, create eg ~/.config/xwwall/background storing the display mode and image path, and then create the feh or swaybg command on the fly depending on the current session.

There might be some complications I haven't thought of...

EDIT Maybe another - possibly better - way would be to generate both swaybg and feh commands at the time the image is chosen - when a few milliseconds extra don't matter - apply the appropriate one for the session, but store both as two separate files. Then when restoring, choose the appropriate file. (I guess .fehbg can be ignored in this scenario.)
EDIT2 No, it looks too difficult to generate the command if not running in that kind of session.

Re: Wallpaper setter for Carbon - X11 and Wayland

common wallpaper for Xorg and Wayland

Let's shelve this for now. It looks like too much work for whatever benefit.
Some users might actually prefer to have different wallpapers for Xorg and Wayland.

Perhaps I should build gtk3dialog for bookworm so that ordinary Boron users can join in on the testing.

This, I think. Get feedback from other users like Sector11.

Re: Wallpaper setter for Carbon - X11 and Wayland

New version, well ver num is the same but there's quite some differences from the last iteration.

Additions:

• bugfix the directory chooser in Preferences. Now shows just the directory, Regarding this I've opted for only 1 directory. 2 is possible but one may encounter errors. See next point.

• cap the image limit at 100. This could go higher, haven't actually tested the limit but I do know if '$TEMP/buttons' grows too big we get Argument list too long error and it crashes the program without warning. A _splash is popped notifying the user of the 100 limit and the program carries on. I *think* the limit is based on bytes, so it isn't so easy to calculate. Maybe I can count the bytes in '$TEMP/buttons' and cut off at some conservative level. The limit is around 2MB, on my 64 bit x86 system but this may (IDK) vary across arches and endianess. It's calculated by

  getconf ARG_MAX

  I'll look into this soon.

• Because of the above bug, do a force rm of TEMP when the prog is re-entrant. I was finding that 'TEMP/buttons' was being appended to after Preferences. That's how I discovered the bug!

• Added a tooltip showing the image name to the Confirm GUI.

• Remove Confirm button from MAIN gui

• Add a label 'Preferences' to that button in MAIN gui - balances the GUI a bit

• Add a few more checks and pop appropriate warnings or fatal errors.

Here it is:

BTW, I have successfully built gtk3dialog in a Boron VM and posted a git repo branch, with debian/ dir thanks to @johnraff:
https://github.com/01micko/gtk3dialog/tree/boron

I can't really host it at my repo as IDK how to add 'boron' to reprepro. I could if I know that. So far yet to find out.

Re: Wallpaper setter for Carbon - X11 and Wayland

I can't really host it at my repo as IDK how to add 'boron' to reprepro.

Try adding a new stanza to <reprepro_base>/conf/distributions.
Here's what I've got for the boron backports:

Origin: bunsenlabs
Label: bunsenlabs
Codename: bookworm-backports
Suite: bookworm-backports
Architectures: i386 amd64 source
Components: main
Description: BunsenLabs bookworm backports repository
SignWith: <BL Release key>
NotAutomatic: yes
ButAutomaticUpgrades: yes
Contents: allcomponents

Compare with what you've got for carbon and adjust accordingly.
(We use "bookworm-backports" so users installing BL backports can simultaneously pull in deps from Debian backports with apt install <package> -t bookworm-backports, but you needn't do that.)

If you've got an "incoming" directory you might need to add the distribution to the "Allow:" line in <reprepro_base>/conf/incoming.

Works

More to come, maybe a new thread for boron users to enable my repo. ATM, only gtk3dialog there, but this prog could end up there soon. And maybe a couple more useful ones.

Oh, need to rewrite that bottom line in the GUI!

Re: Wallpaper setter for Carbon - X11 and Wayland

Looking good!

bugfix the directory chooser in Preferences.

Preferences text could be changed to something like "Choose the directory to search wallpapers"
But it does the job.

cap the image limit at 100.
A _splash is popped notifying the user of the 100 limit and the program carries on.

I've got a lot of wallpapers and see that popup. No problem.

I can't figure out what the preference to "enable initial splash screen" is doing.

Added a tooltip showing the image name to the Confirm GUI.

I'd like to see that tooltip on the Selection GUI stage TBH.
POC, line #337:

<button tooltip-text="'"${1##*/}"$'\n''Press image to confirm or No to reject and confinue.">

(This is assuming that $1 always carries a single filepath.)

Perhaps more annoying is that a "confirm your selection" popup only has an OK button, and times out, closing the whole app. Press OK in time, to get yet another "confirm" popup. Let's get more user feedback, but personally I'd be fine if the wallpaper was set when the Selection image is clicked. Though perhaps there are complications with multiple monitors that those extra steps are needed for?

One other small thing,  the app window comes up slightly too narrow, with a horizontal scroll bar, both on my Carbon VM (X or Wayland):

and also my Boron machine:

The window can be dragged a bit bigger (with some juddering though) but @micko01 your screenshots always look perfect. (This has been happening since the very first version.)

Sounds like you enabled carbon-trixie repo. Delete it from your apt sources and try again following the 'or if on boron' instruction. I clarified a little by adding a 'for carbon trixie' heading to the page.

azote is not in my 'boron' repo. Only 1 package is, gtk3dialog and that's the one we want for xwwall.

Re: Wallpaper setter for Carbon - X11 and Wayland

This will be the last until next week.

• fixed preferences screen so checkbox is not shown in single monitor setup

• if dual mons on X the splash for dual monitors shows at top-left, all other splashes are centered. On wayland shows bottom, others center top

• when done, go directly to confirm_gui - no need for a nag there.

• Up image limit to 250. 300 works for me but 350 fails with 'Argument list too long'

• widened the hbox for the button_gui, hopefully no horizontal scrolbar shows up and images pack in a bit better

• maybe others that I fail to recall in the limited time I have right now!

Here goes:

Re: Wallpaper setter for Carbon - X11 and Wayland

Sounds like you enabled carbon-trixie repo. Delete it from your apt sources and try again following the 'or if on boron' instruction. I clarified a little by adding a 'for carbon trixie' heading to the page.

azote is not in my 'boron' repo. Only 1 package is, gtk3dialog and that's the one we want for xwwall.

See, when it's S11-proof, anyone can do it.

DONE!

This will be the last until next week.

{snip}

Merry Xmas!

NICE!

[Warning: Limit of 250 images]
And no sub-folders

ME:

/media/5/Wallpapers
→ 53 folders
→ 397 files

BUT works like a charm.
I Like it!
See it here

Merry Christmas

Re: Wallpaper setter for Carbon - X11 and Wayland

^Good job @S11, nice screenshot. Thanks for testing.

Next.

Just tested on my boron VM, no surprises.

• reworked the splash placement in X

• In X, splash screens are now on the top layer - <window type-hint="6" ...>

• removed some redundant code - possibly more to go

• added a 'refresh' button to confirm_gui (with tooltip) so that the main_gui pops to try again

• added a tooltip in the main_gui opening sentence with the image count

Seems to flow a bit more now - less clunk

Might be near time for this to go up to github, but I'll have to make a nice icon, manpage, .desktop and debian/ stuffs.

Hope everyone had a good Chrissy (Typical Aussie, abreviate everything)

Re: Wallpaper setter for Carbon - X11 and Wayland

^All working nicely

...except for that irritating not-quite-wide-enough window:
Just in case it was a desktop size thing I resized my VM to the display's full 1440x900 before taking this screenshot:

On real metal Boron with the same size display the issue is gone.
If nobody else is seeing this, let's leave it, at least for now.

@micko anything I could try tweaking in the script to see if it affects this?

Re: Wallpaper setter for Carbon - X11 and Wayland

..[snip]

@micko anything I could try tweaking in the script to see if it affects this?

@ line 395 (main_gui)

<vbox scrollable="true" height="'$MH'" width="'$MW'">

Maybe try adding a few pixels.

<vbox scrollable="true" height="'$MH'" width="'$((MW+20))'">

20 is rather arbitrary, increase or decrease as required and if it turns out to be an issue on bare metal we can add that as a config option.

At least your images seem to line up a bit nicer now. I didn't really notice the horizontal scrollbar on my boron VM but it is there. +20 fixes it for me but my VM is 1280x800 so a little wider. Try 50 or something for your situation.

Re: Wallpaper setter for Carbon - X11 and Wayland

^Good job @S11, nice screenshot. Thanks for testing.

You're welcome.
New script running just fine.

But with my forgetter, since I'm still using nitrogen for now, I forgot the name:
SO:

Oh yea xwall ----

I made a change for me at least on line 388:

	export MAINGUI='<window icon-name="background" title="xwall's Background Choice">

Seeing the name will help my rememberer!

OOPS!  Did not like the " ' " so:

	export MAINGUI='<window icon-name="background" title="xwall | Background Choice">

Check it out here

And also Lines 1 and 2

#!/bin/bash
# ~/bin/xwall

@John - I do not have the problem you are having.
EDIT:  OH I see - a VM ..... mine is running live on a 1920x1080 monitor.
