/linux config/icon-X

This pygtk script displays an icon on the background screen.
Download the script. You have to make it executable.
Browse the bin/icon-x/ directory.

Screen shots:

A set of icon-X applications: floppy, cdrom, dvd, zip and modem.
If icons are transparents, under windows are visibles.

The popup menu over the DVD icon:
status, swap, mount/umount, remove the icon-X.

The DVD is now mounted, the icon has changed.

How it works

The script takes 3 parameters:
- the configuration script: a .py file
- the icon to set it ON
- the icon to set it OFF

Example: (look at the file iconX-dvd)
$> /home/julien/bin/icon-x/icon-x dvd /home/julien/.fvwm2/icons/48/dvd.xpm /home/julien/.fvwm2/icons/48/dvd-locked.xpm

How to configure

The first parameter is a .py file. This file MUST be placed in the same directory of the 'icon-x.py' file.
Example (look at the file dvd.py):

# Icon-X config file:
# "dvd"
#        by JC
# --------------------
# Place this file in the same directory of "icon-x.py"
#
# usage:
# [prompt]> /find/the/path/icon-x.py dvd icon1 icon2

Configurations:
def pos_x(self): Returns the position in X.
def pos_y(self): Returns the position in Y.
def menu_items(self): Returns the popup menu. Methods (like 'self.swap') are defined before the popup menu.
