Description: a very simple xmms-theme with drag'n drop support
- make sure PyXMMS is installed, otherwise the theme will do nothing
- make sure you're running superkaramba v0.33, otherwise the fontsize may get screwed up
- if you have problems running it from another theme, use the superkaramba 'frontend' instead
- after en-/disabling shadows, reload the theme for the changes to take effect
- use mouse wheel for scanning: up= +10s, down= -10s
- the 'open-browser'-item is configured to pop-up a konqueror window, loading the profile 'audio' (you have to create one). if you dislike this behaviour, just change the appropriate call in custom_xmms.py
- the font used is 'child's play'. you can dl it from http://www.momscorner4kids.com/fonts/childsplay.htm
big thanks to patrick for debugging and code
hint: to get single-click working, you have to lock the themeLast changelog:
v0.5 ---------- - added a popup-menu (eject), you now can clear your playlist or open the browser - added a 'shadow-theme' selectable via karamba's configure-menu
v0.4 ---------- - changed control to python-xmms - added check if xmms is running and start it minimized if necessary - added toggeling of the play/pause-button - added scanning
v0.3 ---------- - added drag'n drop support (multiple files & folders)
v0.2 ---------- - added stop and eject 'buttons' - using xmms directly instead of xmms-shell
i'm thinking about adding a bunch of features (time, random, repeat, font selection..), but i'm not qite sure how to design it. i don't want to loose the simple style for a feature-bloated interface ;).. we'll see.
anyhow, thanks for the comment, any feedback on this, ideas/requests/comments, is very welcome ;).
Maybe I don't have python-xmms:
-----
bunker@slackbox:~$ superkaramba
superkaramba: TaskManager::TaskManager()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/bunker/.superkaramba/themes/custom_xmms/custom_xmms.py", line 5, in ?
import xmms.control
ImportError: No module named xmms.control
------------------------------------------------------
What does ImportError mean?
-----
Where i can download it? I use slackware 9.1. Google isn't my friend in this situation :)
you mean the import error?
try the following, type on the console of your choice and make sure xmms is running:
python
import xmms
xmms.control.is_playing()
the result should be 1/0 wether xmms is playing or not. if this doesn't work, check your python/python-xmms installation. if it's working, let me know.
nice, simple theme, i love it
did i miss something cause when i press open it seem (i see the icon) to want to start konqueror but never makes it
way to go
thanks

it's calling the konqi profile 'audio':
'kfmclient openProfile audio'
to use this, you have to create such a profile with konqi, for example: resize a konqi window the way you like it, change to your audio directory and go to 'settings' -> 'configure view profile'. name it 'audio', check the check-buttons on the bottom and save it.
the other way would be to edit the call within xmms_custom.py and call an available standard-profile like 'kfmclient openProfile filemanagement'.
ok, that did it but now it's something else. When i press open it open konqueror, great... but when i choose a son it opens xmms. Was that the idea or was it to control the playing from custom-xmms theme?
thanks

strike anywhere....good choice.
Sounds very promising, I'll have an eye on this...
very nice! What about putting the playing time in too? regards, B.

search for pyxmms, python-xmms is the name debian is using.
I have python-xmms installed and I obtain the same error.

the idea was to have my audio directory poping up, so i can drag files onto the theme
The Mars Volta kick ass!
they do, they do..
