Opacity slider has no functionality #71

Closed Moini closed 6 years ago

Moini commented 6 years ago

Hi there - just tested the opacity slider, and nothing happened, except for

File "/tmp/screenkey-master/Screenkey/screenkey.py", line 191, in on_expose ctx.set_operator(cairo.Operator.SOURCE) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Operator' when I move it.

Unrelated: screenkey ate my text cursor... just noticed while typing here. Can't reproduce it now. I couldn't type, and while the mouse worked normally for selecting text etc., clicking into the text didn't produce a blinking cursor. Only when I quit screenkey, I got my cursor back.

Unrelated, too: what's the functionality of the second color field in the settings dialog? It doesn't seem to change anything.

Could you try again with the updated sources?

Probably both issues are related with the above error.

As mentioned, you'll need pycairo. Can you confirm it works once it is installed?

Moini commented 6 years ago

Do you know which package that corresponds to?

I get these:

apt-cache search pycairo
python-cairo-dev - Python cairo bindings: development files
python-cairocffi - cffi-based cairo bindings for Python
python-cairocffi-doc - cffi-based cairo bindings for Python - Documentation
python3-cairocffi - cffi-based cairo bindings for Python (Python3)

Edit: and these:

apt-cache search python cairo python-cairo - Python bindings for the Cairo vector graphics library python-cairo-dbg - Python bindings for the Cairo vector graphics library (debug extension) python-cairo-dev - Python cairo bindings: development files python-scour - SVG scrubber and optimizer (Python 2 module) python3-cairo - Python 3 bindings for the Cairo vector graphics library python3-cairo-dev - Python 3 cairo bindings: development files python3-cairo-doc - Python 3 cairo bindings: documentation files python3-gi-cairo - Python 3 Cairo bindings for the GObject library cairo-dock-plug-ins-dbus-interface-python - Python interface to interact with Cairo-Dock by using DBus labyrinth - lightweight mind-mapping tool pybootchartgui - boot sequence visualisation python-cairocffi - cffi-based cairo bindings for Python python-cairocffi-doc - cffi-based cairo bindings for Python - Documentation python-cairosvg - SVG to PDF/PS/PNG converter based on Cairo python-gasp - procedural Python graphics library for beginning programmers python-gi-cairo - Python Cairo bindings for the GObject library python-hippocanvas - Python bindings to hippo-canvas python-igraph - High performance graph data structures and algorithms python-pycha - chart-drawing library using Cairo

Which I had installed. It's python2, right?

Works. It wasn't pycairo, but the fix :) Thanks! Could it be made clearer that the second color selector is for the background color? It has no description of its own.

Tooltip?

Moini commented 6 years ago

Would work for me.

I know the Gnome people removed all tooltips from the new apps, so things work on a tablet where there exists no 'hover' (and replaced them with unintellegible icons... horrible!).

It could also just be a second row with a text in front, that would work for everyone, with or without hovering.
