Layouts for Traytip?

[helloindustries]

Is there a way to edit/create layout for the Tray tip info window?

Are there any available themes other than the included?

There are a few included that you can select in the "layouts" tab of the preferences dialog.
The traytip layouts can be edited just like the other layouts, the only difference is that they must include the letter "T" in the Type= line.

example from v1.1.x :

Code Select Expand

[full with buttons]
Type=T
HBButtons = VolumeIcon Prev Stop Play Next OpenBrowser ExtraButtons Pref Quit
HBIndic = Sort 10Filter Queue 10Pos -Stars
HBTitle = LockSong _Title LabelsIcons
HBArtist = LockArtist _Artist
HBAlbum = LockAlbum _Album -Year
HBTime = Time _TimeBar
VBmain = HBButtons HBIndic _VBText -HBTime
VBText = 2HBTitle 2HBArtist 2HBAlbum
HBmain = _VBmain 2Filler1 -Cover(forceratio=1)
VolumeScroll = HBmain

or :

Code Select Expand

[minimaltip]
Type=T
Window= borderwidth=0
HBmain = Play(size=menu) Next(size=menu) 2_TimeBar(text="%t by %a",minwidth=240) Cover
Name= _"Minimal tip"

I can't seem to find where the tooltip themes are stored.
The closest to the right place i can find is: /usr/share/gmusicbrowser but none of the files in there or /usr/share/gmusicbrowser/plugins seem to be tooltip themes

All the layouts (traytip and others) are in the /usr/share/gmusicbrowser/layouts file (I plan to break it into a few .layout files), you can put your own layouts in a .layout file in ~/.gmusicbrowser/layouts/

Thanks :)

Small problem, though:
On editing 'Shimmer_tray' to:

Code Select Expand

[shimmer_tray]
Type=T
VBMain = HBTime Filler0 VBMain1
VBMain1 = HBLeft _HBRight
HBLeft = _Cover(forceratio=1,default=pix/elementary/no-cover.svg) VBText
VBText = 2HBAlbum HBYear _2HBTitle
HBButtons = Prev(size=small-toolbar) Play(size=small-toolbar) Next(size=small-toolbar)
HBTitle = LockSong _Title(font=11,interval=75)
HBArtist = LockArtist _Artist(font=9)
HBAlbum = LockAlbum _Album(font=9)
HBYear = Filler1 _Date(font=9,markup="%y") -Stars
HBTime = _TimeBar(minheight=7)
HBRight = HBButtons _2HBArtist
VSize0 = 3 Filler0
HSize0 = Filler1 LockArtist LockAlbum LockSong
HSize1 = Cover HBButtons

It now will not show at all.
Any ideas?

[Quentin Sculo]

It shows up for me.

Can you launch it from a terminal and see if any error message are printed in the terminal ?
(to launch it from a terminal, simply open a terminal and type "gmusicbrowser")

Here's what i get (removed all the 'scanning folder' stuff)

And now the modified layout works...
Typical, eh!

Only took a few re-launches, it would seem.
