integration with tint2conf

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi Euan, 

tint2 have now a theme switcher tint2conf.
I would like to integrate a customised version of tintwizard in tint2conf.

The idea is to have a list of possible theme and a button 'properties'
witch call tintwizard on current config file.

To do it I need to:
- call tintwizard with a file as parameter
- replace menu and button with a button "save" or "close"

What do you think about it ? and if possible how to do it ?
is it better to include the change in tintwizard, or to distributed a
forked version of tintwizard with tint2 ???

Thanks

thierry

Hi Thierry,

It should be easy to call tintwizard with a filename as parameter, and have it 
load
that config. The functions already exist to read from a file so we just need to 
make
use of those. We would just have to check to see if a filename was given as 
parameter.

The user-interface could be altered during the init() constructor to create 
just a
'save' and 'close' button instead of the menu and buttons, depending on what 
mode tw
is started in.

I've been very busy lately so don't have the time to work on this, but I can 
add you
to the project if you'd like to work on these changes yourself.

I've added you to the project.

Python accesses the command line parameters using the sys.argv list. 
sys.argv[0] is the 
relative filename of the script and the rest of the list values are any command 
line 
arguments.

I think a tint2 config could be opened by checking if any arguments were given 
(  
len(sys.argv) > 1  ) at the end of the init() method of TintWizardGUI (approx 
line 1277). 
If a filename was given, set self.filename to the filename and then call 
readTint2Config().

The init() method is where the GUI is set up. At approx line 246 is an XML 
definition for 
the menu and toolbar layouts, followed by an actiongroup (line 293) which is 
where the menu 
and toolbar items are defined. We could use an if statement to decide whether 
to create the 
menu/toolbar as it currently is, or to just use the 'save' and 'close' buttons.

have done the change and try to do small step (so you can easilly review the 
code).

have put a copy of tintwizard into tint2 SVN and call tintwizard on button 
'Properties'.
