Hi,

I am running FC12 and when I run ./SidebarScreenlet.py

I get following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./SidebarScreenlet.py", line 11, in <module>
import screenlets
ImportError: No module named screenlets

Is there a way to make the screenlets stick to the sidebar? When I use a docking station (lower resolution to the laptop screen) the sidebar screenlet is in the correct location (right edge) but the screenlets remain out in virtual space....

Thanks heaps :-)

Could you please include a feature for placing the sidebar at for example the left side of a second monitor on the right, or a "floating"-mode to place it where I want to have it.
Actually I can only place the sidebar on the left side of the first monitor or the right side of the second monitor, but thats not what I want to have it.

i have version 3 installed (the newest one that comes with screenlets).
when i set the alignment to any of the "reserved" alignments the sidebar starts 200 pixels away from the screens edge. this only happens when using reserved.
for example.
when setting the alignment to "right" and the size to 150. the xposition is 1530.
when setting the alignment to "right reserved" and the size to 150. the xposition becomes 1330 and cannot be changed.
i am running ubuntu 9.04. gnome 2.26.1. compiz and emerald.
i have a funny feeling its a compiz setting i got wrong but i cant figure out what it could be.

nm, it was the "snapping windows" plugin in compiz causing the problem. fixed now.

i dont understand what the hell i have to download!!!!!

Me too....

can anybody explain how to use this thing...

Hii
im newbie to this screenlets thing
what should i do to use this screenlets in my ubuntu intrepids

Is it somehow possible to make that so that maximized windows dont cover the sidebar?

When I launch this i see it booting up in the console but nothing happens on my desktop.

I note one error in SidebarScreenlet.log:

"Error in screenlets.services.get_service_by_name: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.screenlets.Netmon was not provided by any .service files"

Dunno if that's related to my problem, all my other screenlets work. Any help would be appreciated I really really want this to work.

My system is a fresh install, with the most recent stuff from the Ubuntu software manager as of March 2009 - I use screenlets version "0.0.12-0ubuntu5", which Ubuntu tells me is the most recent. What's all this version "0.0.9" and "0.0.7" you talk about??? My version's number isnt even close!

If you could make this work with Ubuntu it would be greatly appreciated!

Heeeelp!

I was using the wrong version of sidebar, I think I have the right one now. But now I get two errors:

GtkWarning: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkEventBox to a container of type GtkWindow, but the widget is already inside a container of type GtkWindow, the GTK+ FAQ at http://www.gtk.org/faq/ explains how to reparent a widget.

(that link is bad now)

Then I get this about 8 times:

AttributeError: 'SidebarScreenlet' object has no attribute 'draw_scaled_image'

I like it, not sure how to install it I am a Newb

hay ... thanx for this great screelet ! it is awesome.

question though is how can i make that i can set the size of my screenlets? right now if i put it on the sidebar it auto size it for me and some of them i make bigger or smaller depending on what i want ... thanx

please help me
thanks.

For those who are looking for screenlets 1.2 a .deb version is out in GetDeb. http://www.getdeb.net/app/Screenlets

when drop on the clock screenlet the clock do big ..and other screenlet too. and rigth click size 100% dont work on sidebar but in desktop rigth click size 100% works fine..

I love it...just one question..
In your first screenshot you use a clock with numbers, is that a theme or another clock widget? I ask because I'm looking one just like that..thanks..and keep up the good work.

I can right-click on it, there is the menu, but the sidebar itself does not appear on the screen.

I have the same problem, did you already solved it. Or maybe you have some more information.

yep mee too

Whise, are you running hardy Heron?

For Hardy, end all of your screenlets sessions (including the screenlets-daemon and screenlets-manager), download the newest version of screenlets, uncompress, then 'sudo make install'.

You can find the latest trunk at: https://code.launchpad.net/screenlets/trunk (at the time of this post, the current version is 0.1.2 for 2008-06-04).

This seems to have solved the 'hidden' sidebar for Hardy.

Thanks Whise for all your work!!

cool, thanks

Nice work!

i have Screenlets 0.1.1 and i try to drag and drop sidebar.tar.gz (sidebar .6) and it says "Archive is damaged or unsupported, use only tar, bz2 or gz." what do i do? (it does this for all screenlets i try to install)

Just installed under Hardy Heron, and I'm not seeing the artwork. Appears to work fine otherwise... just no art. Toggling compiz/fusion doesn't appear to have any effect.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to troubleshoot the issue.

Otherwise, great screenlet.
