Although to be honest, it’s the last thing I would do when looking for information. I used man like 10 years ago. Then came google…

I’m kidding! I’m not always complaining about python, it’s a great language, it has its uses and certainly a minimal GUI interface is one of those uses. For me python is not THE language for everything, that’s all; That’s why I inexorably end showing people that there are beautiful little commands out there, that have been there since always, to do many of the things python can be forced to do. (but I do like python!!!)

my little grasshopper, a good tool doesn’t necessary need a webpage, if you need to know anything about dialog or zenity simply use “man” (is that old technology you can even use offline) XDD

And yes! my “MacBook” black and silvered is wall-e, and Diana’s macbook (white plastic) is eve. :)

The native GTK interface isn’t that bad, but since pygtk is installed by default in Ubuntu and making the GUI with pygtk would help me avoid extra compiling steps, I just went for that option. Besides, not having to allocate memory and things like that is nice :P

I didn’t know about zenity or dialog — but although I could find the zenity homepage easily, dialog is going to be a tad hard to locate. Couldn’t they just come up with a more original name? haha

By the way: wall-e? did you seriously name your computer wall-e? I’m not talking to you XD

I’d like to suggest two typical utilities for the settings, dialog (console based) and zenity (gtk based), it will be great to use a simple bash script with zenity and embed the demo at the end of the file (as Slack’s 4k demos), a all-in-one file :)

Also you get rid of python XDDDD, no, seriously using pyGtk is great (gtk is quite usable unless you want to use the native C interface).

I mean, “here’s the code”, it should be easy to compile anyway :)

Glad you liked it! :D
