[Pywmdatetime]
|
|
Pywmdatetime is a WindowMaker dockapp for displaying time, date and
|
|
some other information. The colors and formats are easy to configure
|
|
through the configuration file or as command line arguments. Invoke
|
|
the program with --help or see the sample rc-file for more information.
|
|
|
|
[Pywmgeneric]
|
|
Pywmgeneric is a dockapp with five entrys that display the first line of
|
|
output from an external program, the returned string from an python
|
|
method or an static string. Three mouse actions can be associated with
|
|
each displayed entry.
|
|
|
|
[Pywmgeneric -- DETAILED]
|
|
Five different entries can be defined in pywmgeneric. Every entry can
|
|
have an action, an update_delay and up to three mouse actions associated
|
|
with it. Some additional options are also available.
|
|
|
|
The associated action of an entry is executed with update_delay time
|
|
between executions. The output from the action is stored. If no special
|
|
display options are defined, the application will display the first line
|
|
of output from the action. If it does not fit in the window, it will
|
|
slowly scroll in the window. Clicking with the mouse on the text invokes
|
|
one of the mouse actions, depending on which button was pressed. The
|
|
action can be to execute an external program, to run a python method or
|
|
to update the text through performing the action associated with the
|
|
entry. The mouse actions can retreive the text genererated by the timed
|
|
action.
|
|
|
|
Python methods that should be executed as actions should be defined in
|
|
the class UserMethods. Look in pywmgeneric.py, near the top, for this
|
|
class and the documentation of how these methods should be defined.
|
|
Note that the methods allready there only are samples and will probably
|
|
not work on your system.
|
|
|
|
Other options in the configuration file include:
|
|
scroll = yes|no - en-/disable scrolling of the text when it doesn't fit
|
|
display = <text> - display a static string instead of the first line of
|
|
the action-generated output.
|
|
|
|
See the sample configuration file for examples and more information.
|
|
Note that this file is only for reference, it is the one I use. Things
|
|
will probably not work on your system if you do not change it.
|
|
|
|
[Pywmgeneric -- USES]
|
|
This program is very generic (hence the name ;) ), the uses are many
|
|
since it is highly configurable.
|
|
|
|
I use it for displaying my cpu and system temperatures. I just defined
|
|
methods for reading two files in the /proc filesystem on my system.
|
|
|
|
I also use it for fetching headlines from a newspaper, displaying the
|
|
first headline fetched. If I click with my left button, all headlines
|
|
will appear in an xmessage. If I rightclick the headlines along with
|
|
summaries are displayed, and if I click with my middle button mozilla
|
|
will fire up showing the newspaper's website.
|
|
|
|
I have an external program which displays what's currently on tv,
|
|
ideal for use with this program I thought! I modified it a bit so
|
|
it printed a summary line at the top, and voila I have all
|
|
currently running tv programs scrolling by in an dockapp. And clicking
|
|
on it shows me the details.
|
|
|
|
You could use it as an application launcher, just display the name of
|
|
the applications and associate mouse actions to lauch them. The
|
|
xterm-entry in the sample shows this.
|
|
|
|
You could probably come up with much more than this!

[pywmhdmon]
|
|
pywmhdmon is a WindowMaker dockapp that displays the available space on
|
|
up to four of your filesystems. It also contains a bar showing the
|
|
current HD activity. It currently only works on system which has a
|
|
/proc/stat like file. The application is easy to configure, invoke it
|
|
with --help or see the sample rc-file for more information.
|
|
|
|
[pywmhdmon -- BUGS]
|
|
The activity bar does not work with the proc filesystem that comes with
|
|
the 2.6 kernels. It is just a matter of rewriting the app to parse the
|
|
new format, but I'm low on time personally.
|
|
|
|
[Pywmseti]
|
|
Pywmseti is an WindowMaker dockapp for monitoring your seti@home progress.
|
|
The application displays how many workunits you have done and the progress
|
|
on the current one. You start/stop the seti@home process by simply clicking
|
|
anywhere in the application. It also displays the time spent on the workunit
|
|
(or since you started the program if you restart it in the middle of a
|
|
workunit). Invoke the program with --help or see the sample rc-file for
|
|
more information about customization.
|
|
|
|
[pywmsysmon]
|
|
pywmsysmon is a WindowMaker dockapp that displays your cpu and memory
|
|
usages. The upper graph shows your cpu usage history and the lower
|
|
"progress bar" shows your current memory usage excluding cached and
|
|
buffered data. This program currently only works on systems which got
|
|
the /proc/stat and /proc/meminfo files available. Invoke the program
|
|
with --help for information about customization.
