Description:

XMMS Bar for SuperKaramba

This is a useful SuperKaramba theme for those who constantly listen to music while they work. This is a bar that displays your XMMS playlist and provides basic controls and play status. And it autohides when not in use.

Basically, the idea is that you move your mouse pointer to the edge of the screen, and XMMS Bar pops out. Then you can scroll through your playlist with the scroll wheel on your mouse, click on a song to choose it, and hit play. Other basic controls are provided, as well as a "time remaining" display.

So now you don't have to constantly stop your work to find XMMS in the taskbar, pop it up, find your song, play it, etc. Just move your mouse to the left edge of the screen and choose your favorite song, then it automatically disappears again!

The secondary reason for creating this is to provide an example of several of the new functions I have added to SuperKaramba recently, including:

changeText()
changeTextColor()
changeTextFont()
changeTextSize()
getting mouse scroll wheel data in widgetClicked()

Also, this is a good example of how to use python elements to enhance a regular theme and how to mix python with a regular theme successfully.

You need xmmsctrl installed to use this properly. You might already have it, if not you can find it at:

Enjoy! Comments appreciated.

The rest, including the xmmsbar.py is by me

I love xmmsbar. I love beep. They didn't work together.

"xmmsctrl playlist" returns garbage with beep.

"xmmsctrl playfiles" works.

I replaced the couple of places in xmssbar.py where it said the first of those commands, with the second - literally just swapping them over.

Now xmmsbar works with beep.

:-))))

Thx!

While I'm listening to music, I get this repeating info in my console window:

Headstrong - Trapt - Headstrong - Trapt
doing heavy refresh
unicode start
unicode end
Headstrong - Trapt - Headstrong - Trapt
doing heavy refresh
unicode start
unicode end
Headstrong - Trapt - Headstrong - Trapt
doing heavy refresh
unicode start
unicode end

How do I stop this? I noticed a reference to this, but I don't know if it was fixed. BTW I'm using superkaramba .033.

Also is there a way to hide the xmms player that also opens up?

Great theme. Maybe I can use the Text functions until tooltips are supported :)

ageitgey
17 years ago

Tooltips are supported, aren't they? The should be in as of 0.17g

it's addToolTip(), look in examples/API

wizzard
17 years ago

damn i'm stupid :D
always used addImageTooltip :D:D

wizzard
17 years ago

haha no i'm not stupid :)

It's somehow still missing :)

ageitgey
17 years ago

No, I'm stupid. It is addImageTooltip()

Does that not do what you want?

wizzard
17 years ago

no, this never worked for me, it says its not defined in the module.
the same with createPopupItem() (noticed in help(karamba))

ageitgey
17 years ago

by the way, addImageTooltip() works fine for me.

Make sure you add it to an image while the image is actually where you want the tooltip to be (you did read API, right?? hehe)

The tooltip won't follow the image currently...

ageitgey

createPopupItem doesn't "really exist". Well it does, but it doesn't work. Thats why its not documented in API. It should have been commented out so it wouldn't show up in help(), oh well.

wizzard
17 years ago

Stop, im a bit confused now!
The script doesnt report it to be missing in the module anymore, but I still dont see a tooltip (i focused the window)

wait a minute ... shouldn't karamba be part of official kde 3.2 :)

It will start and control xmms, but won't autohide for me or display the playlist. I have xmmsctrl installed, as well as superkaramba G version.

I loaded karamba from konsole and noticed these errors repeating. Not a python coder so didn't know how to correct them.

*I did just notice that it will load the playlist (if small), but then goes away with the error in konsole, so I'm guessing its a problem with refreshing the list.

BTW, I've very much looking forward to using this.

ageitgey

I am stupid... hehe.

I knew about that problem and for some reason thought I fixed it.

It should work now. Please let me know if you still have problems.

Thanks
