manual error... #22

in the green shoes manual you have:

_snip_ Now, in your blank window, type in the following:

Shoes.app do background "#DFA" para "Welcome to Shoes" end

Save to your desktop as welcome.rb. _snip_

and you tell us to run it. well, disfortunately this code dosnt work out of the box (at least for me anyway) and i needed to add a

require 'green_shoes'

line to my code. it would be truly spiffy if this wasn't a requirement, but i don't think that it's (realistically) possible without potentially breaking lots of things. if it is supposed to do that, then it doesn't work on ruby 1.9.2 p180 with the latest green_shoes (i just installed it) running on opensuse 11.4 (at least that's what i'm working with).

i haven't played with it much more than that, but i'm glad to see the fully ruby-based version of shoes is doing well!! :D keep up the good work!! hex

Hi Hex,

Oh, you are right! Good suggestion, thanks. :)

I'm going to add require 'green_shoes' into the sample snippet on built-in manual.

So, can I ask you a favor?
I don't have an English notepad. Could you take this snapshot with require 'green_shoes' ?

I'd also like to replace the above snapshot.

ashbb,

it's your lucky day! i'm at work and i'm on windows 7, so i can provide such a snapshot. (if you want one without the spiffy win7 gui i can provide that too) heres the link:
