1. Annotation: only draw if button 1 is pressed.
2. Improve selection of visible buttons. I think that a aproach using two panels is better. One panel showing avaliable buttons and other showing current buttons.

Don't know (yet) how to do this: When Compiz is drawing/annotating applications don't get mouse-events....

Yes the config-stuff really needs some rafacturing...

I'am not so happy with my answer. I tried to find a way to get all mouse-events, even when my Screenlet does not have the focus. I did that once on windows (there you call it (Mouse-) Hook) - I havn't found a way to do that in gnome without beeing root...
maybe someone can help me with that.... Xeyes does exactly what I want. But It's c code not python ....

3nt3, could you make a new pager? The one that comes with screenlets has some problems.

you directory is called CompizButtons
i would create a script (like your perl script ) but in python called CompizButtonsScreenlet.py so that it would be seen in the manager and installable from the manager(out of the box :) ), when that "screenlet" would be launched it would create all the symlinks needed , leaving a message to restart the manager
what do you think?
would could also create symlinks for the icon please

There is an install-script in the package, that makes symbolic-links in .screenlets/ so that every button should appear in the screenlets-manager.
My "problem" with your suggestion:
- Every button depends on debusfunctions.py
- Every button depends on ButtonScreenlet.py or ColorPickerScreenlet.py
Because of these dependencies I would have to copy a lot of files.
I agree with you that my "approach" with the installs-script is not usual for screenlets.
Maybe I will write a little script that makes a package for every button automatically....
Do you have any suggestion?
