Message-Id: X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-devel&m=122008703911741 just for your information, i have got into a functional state, a osd module for knotify, put together from studying the other knotify modules as the api docs seem to be rather... well non descriptive. at the moment i need to find out how to get additional data in so it is in no state for integrating into knotify yet. it is dependant on my kosdwidget library however, and does not have a build system provided. this is strictly alpha code :) bcooksley knotify module: websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/base/kdisplay/knotify/ kosdwidget lib: websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/base/kdisplay/libkosdwidget On 8/30/08, Ben Cooksley wrote: > i have no problem with integrating with knotify and all, > however i want to get the code working how i originally envisioned first. > i have reached this point now i believe, so i will be looking at > knotify to see about integrating my work, which hopefully shouldn't be > too hard :) > the application is actually pretty much now just for testing the > library which i have made ( called KOSDWidget ), and is designed for > integration into other applications. > however i will probably have to extend knotify to be able to pass me > extra data, particularly including progress bar level's ( min, > current, max ), time to show ( i think knotify already does this ) if > i am to add my work to knotify at all. > > bcooksley > > On 8/30/08, John Tapsell wrote: >> 2008/8/26 Olivier Goffart : >>> Le mardi 26 août 2008, Ben Cooksley a écrit : >>>> hi, >>>> >>>> in the process of developing my application kdisplay ( which is >>>> designed to allow applications to display osd's by communicating via >>>> dbus ) i created a companion library where all the osd functionality >>>> now lives ( not the dbus or multi osd functionality, strictly the >>>> functionality you would use in a osd ) which is called kosdwidget. i >>>> would like to know which module would be most appropriate for this to >>>> go in, taking into account the fact that the api is likely to be >>>> expanded / changed as it grows. >>> >>> >>> Is that a replacement for KPassivePopup? >>> >>> What is the difference with KNotification? >>> Maybe KNotify could use it to display popup? >> >> I would second this. >> >> Ben - I know that you have written your app and everything, and it's >> always nice to have your own app that you control, but please consider >> just simply extending knotify.
