Hi TecnoGuy458, nice tip. I prefer vlc as multimedia player. In Xenialpup64 I extracted the Appimage in /root/my-applications/bin/ and created a desktop file (attached) in /usr/share/applications/ for a menu entry. Thank you very much! :D your welcome! it is nice having vlc media player without a b...

VLC has a lot of dependencies. and i was somewhat disappointed that xenialpup didn't include vlc. Rather than install a bazzilion dependencies and such, i decided to try an appimage of VLC. I found one here: https://github.com/darealshinji/vlc-AppImage/releases (i chose v2.2.8 ) make executable and....

I have to say i was rather annoyed when gpodder tried to tell me the network was down when i tried to update podcasts, when i was clearly browsing, streaming podcasts, and gpodder itself was adding podcasts just fine... so failing a duck search, i did a little digging... turns out the busybox ifconf...

So could you use this to display an image during execution of a normal bash script? eg if I had a script that examined and listed every file on my hard drive and displayed a huge scrolling list in a terminal could TMG be called within that script to display something like a large tick or cross each...

I've created some scripts for converting TIMG images to raw, bash-ready, escape codes. T-CODE.sh is the actual converter. it outputs to the file output.txt TIMGTRANS.sh is A wrapper script that converts all the TIMG images in the directory It Is In, (and make sure T-CODE.sh is in the same directory ...

-first off, the v2.* display system has been sped up (again). this was done using a T-IMG to escape code converter, which makes the draw time (very) fast. (NOTE: this is not going to cause a significant speed up in the 1.x versions, due to the compositor being the major culprit of their slowness.) ...

UPDATE: v2.2 is out. -> finished switching over to the new lookup routine. -> reworked the controls to use "wasd" for mvement and "q" to quit. as a default key-map. (key-map can be changed in the config file (see first post) -> add config file (see first post) -> update TIMG to v...

that $WHEREAMI thing is a neat trick isn't it?

.PET attached below.

uses Bash, gtkdialog and beep, to allow the user to play a small virtual piano through their PC speaker.

piano specs: 4 piece percussion. keys 21-40.

ended up splitting the number bar into icons. which worked.

EDIT: its now finished, PET can be found here:

its just the buttons that are the keys often vary in size. oh well, i guess the number bar can still serve as a visual aid of sorts. you see the number bar is above the keys. it shows the key numbers in order. the technical side of things work. the 21-40 piano keys and 4 piece percussion all work. E...

I need to stretch a pixmap to the width of the dialog automatically.

reason: im making a little piano app in gtkdialog and would like the key number bar image i made to stretch to the size of the dialog. (automatically)

is this do-able and if so, how?
