I updated it through app manager a couple of hours ago. Just tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it still behaves the same.

Some observations: instead of multiple lines, we opted for multiple widgets with user-defined width. The idea is to output short info there.

About an editor with syntax highlight .. well.. I believe you can simply use whatever editor you like to create your script (e.g. script.sh) and then just call that script from the widget (e.g. /path2script/script.sh).

By text size you mean font? Well.. anyway.. this app is VERY young.. not even in extras yet.. maybe with some more time..

Hi,
I joggled a bit with the source code from release 0.6 and I ended up with this (commands are just examples to show feasibility)





I hope developer could integrate this in next release if not already brewing.

Modified code desktop-cmd-exec.0.601.c is commented at end of line with

PHP Code:

//AP 


PHP Code:

        gdouble widthRatio;
        gdouble heightRatio;//AP

That hack was necessary when I started with custom width. Without it, the "X" (close) bt for the widget would go to the top-right corner when the widget is loaded but it would continue there forever...
I you shrank the widget you would get a flying "X" in the middle of nothing =0. The hack is to always load the widget with the small size (to put the X bt beside the Conf one) and then resize it some time later..

I believe there is still something to be investigated with respect to positioning of "service" icons (settings/close)... this is also quite weird:


There is also an other issue with the positioning of newly instantiated DCE widgets. They get created on different desktop than the one you are working on.

I tested the code in X86 scratchbox only, so far.
