First, I love this app!
Second, it gave me hard times again when I tried to make use of the python script for
bluetooth
and
alarm
. Besides python, they utilize dbus which comes preinstalled, but without python-dbus, which is essential.
Is it really asked too much to note it? - I don't understand why such basic requirements are nowhere mentioned.
Again, thedead was kind enough to give me that enlightenment, but I really think that is not the way things should be.
So for everybody not getting the scripts to work:
run "apt-get install python-dbus".
Third, in order to keep the used space minimal and have all important things at a glance, I like to request to make rules (like {network-name} {network-name?}) skip the whole line in case of passive condition instead of a blank line. I don't need {network-name!offline} as I know it would be there if it was active. For bluetooth this works by deleting the last 2 lines in the script:
Code:
else: print 'Bluetooth off'
Fourth, in order to use more fancy characters (like
ᛒ
for bluetooth,
ᛉ
for network or
⏰
for alarm) I like to see all UTF-8 characters displayable. Actually, Billboard itself can display some, python seems more limited, but also stock browser and firefox can not display all. Don't know if it's possible or where the limitation starts or ends.
Fifth, a big thank you again for this nifty app and the added features in 1.0.7!
