A lot of work has gone into making sure that script that ran on zenity3 still run on zenity4. There is no guarantee they will look exactly the same.
I really appreciate the efforts to make zenity modern. I understand that zenity 4 will not look like zenity 3 because of gtk3 to gtk4 migration. But please let the options which work with zenity 3 work with zenity 4 too, like --hide-header
would make it behave same as before.
I use --hide-header to list items directly, and zenity 4 is already default in debian sid and fedora 39.My app will look buggy (clickable empty space) because zenity 4 could not hide the header, or have to let my app die with zenity 3.
Or could you advise me a way to get a list of the above items which can be achieved with zenity as in the screenshot without using --hide-header?
Thank you in advance.
zenity 4.0.1 --hide-header
option is not working. My application WineZGUI uses this hide column header feature. Kindly consider re-adding it.
The column header is just wasted place, also the title and window look overblown/oversized compared to zenity version 3
zenity --list --hide-header \
--title "${APP_WITH_VER}" --width=360 \
--height=460 --column " " \
"⚙️ Open Exe..." \
"🏁 Launch..." \
"📜 Script..." \
"📦 Backup..." \
"🎮 Restore..." \
"🗑️ Delete..." \
"🍷 Runner..." \
"🖼️ Template..." \
"🪄 Settings..." \
"☠️ Kill all..." \
"⚒️ More..." \
"❓ Help..." \
"📖 About..." \
"🚪 Quit..." \
--text "<b>Wine GUI using Zenity...</b>" --title "WineZGUI 1.00"
zenity 3.34.x with --hide-header, works as expected:
Here's side by side comparision. My app looks ugly in zenity 4, even without radio buttons, using radio buttons make it unusable. Please consider having "widget height" for items, so that one can get good interface.
GTK4+libadwaita apps in general look empty:
Please maximize notejot window, and iotas window, the notes look out of place in the center in iotas. Whereas, maximized window of OneNote (1st screenshot) and notejot (2nd screenshot) the notes are arranged in notes section/column/grid. Which looks much better.
Also Grid view, and List view would look good. Here's the Grid view of notejot:
and the list view (all notes)
I know Iotas is new, it will be perfect in no time. Thank you.
That's wonderful, but it is hidden/undiscoverable, Also could we have a "show/hide sidebar" button or a keyboard shortcut or/and menu item?
And could you please consider enhancing the the user interface similar to notejot which looks good https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.lainsce.Notejot but is buggy, and only notebook+pages (2 level) are supported there.
it would be extremely useful, if we could show both "Top Level Category|sub-category|note" (toggle able) like notejot. Thank you.
Kindly include support for Notebooks->Chapters->Notes for creating properly organized notes. All other notes which are not part of a notebook, can be a part of uncategorized notebook/section/category. Thank you.
Notes are the pages, which are usually the part of a "Section" or "Chapter" inside a notebook.
Please support Notebooks (Categories) -> Section/Chapter -> Note/Page.
Example You can test with OneNote
Here we can see that RHCSA is the notebook, "User Management" is the Chapter/Section, and "Create User Account" is the page/note.
Only single letter was just an example to show the case easily.
Seeing the screeshot "Wine" has many apps. As we can see there are more than 10 apps with "wine" in it.
Limiting apps result to only 5 is denying application discoverability.
Like wise other search providers are also stuck at 5 results, file managers, gnome-software, etc. will have more results.
Shell search is basically limited to 5 search results. What about more than 5 results? for other search providers, that application can be launched, But apps which gnome-shell shows, how can the user find all the apps with "wine" string?
perhaps a "Show More" "..." or ">>" could make finding information using shell easier. This expander could be subtle.
gnome-shell search only shows 5 app on searching, whereas the system has more than 5 apps installed.
How To Reproduce:
Expected:
Screenshot, showing that there are many wine apps/shortcuts installed, but only 5 are shown:
Thanks.
I want to change brightness for my desktop monitor using system menu's brightness slider, just like we can do with a laptop.
Just like a laptop or Accessibility->Zoom->Colors->Brightness, the system menu should show brightness slider for regular monitors. Why should laptop guys have all the fun! :-D
There are extensions who can't catch up with gnome releases. e.g., https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1625/soft-brightness/
Why shouldn't the basic requirement for eye comfort be not included in gnome system menu? Why should we need to use 3rd party extension just for expected feature?
Please add brightness slider for regular monitors, at least make it available from settings. Thank you!
Firefox-esr on debian, shows Top sites (bookmarks) 32 (4 rows x 8 colums). I think 32 is more than enough bookmarks, along with** Highlights **(recent pages) which again are 20 (4x5). Also Eolie browser (which I don't like for vertical tabs and tab grouping) does support Visual bookmarks. Thanks anyway!
100s indeed.
If we list bookmark entries, like recent pages does. We can already search tags from the location bar. Also we can see all the bookmarks by scrolling. perhaps a "show all" button can be added at the bottom.
We already have recent pages, just the dynamic URL in the recent, when allowed to be static, user editable, it becomes visual bookmarks.
We'll if you see, I am only asking the same Bookmark popover menu in a full page, and instead of small list, page previews.
Everyone has to be considered, right? I've requested you to check out this Visual Bookmarks It is configurable, you can have as few as and as many as you need.
I think the solution is that epiphany should implement extension support, then we don't have to discuss about how the Homepage should be like and how bookmarks should be used and not.
When can we expect Chrome Extensions support? No pressure, just asking. :-)
Here's a good grid, Just take the category as Tag: https://unblockit.buzz/
So, proposing a solution is a problem
Furthermore, why do you so often open the dedicated Bookmarks view, instead of for example typing ahead in the location bar?
Simply, typing is tedious, that's one reason, and also that's why bookmarks toolbar (for single click visit) is present in almost all web browsers. Now epiphany is designed for users not developers. How many normal computer users know touch typing? Second reason is forgetfulness, we forget what we've bookmarked, or frequently visited pages. This is useful for non-technical people.
A normal user, would need to visit. (Problem is too many bookmarks in a menu, which are easily forgotten)
Do you think only 9 recently visited pages do justice to a common user? BTW, how many websites do you visit frequently, 9 only? Now it's not 90s where limited websites were there. So many websites, how will retrieve from the menu text based bookmarks? If you see visually Credit Card bookmark, it will remind you of payment. Else why would you go to bookmarks->Finances->Credit Cards->Visa Card->Monthly Payment page?
One nice example I see is Internet explorer from the design page https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Web, it has a very practical and useful Homepage, not only it give Frequently visited pages, but also shows bookmarks/pinned. That's Human understanding. Perhaps Microsoft has more paid researchers and testers for normal usage of i.e., that's why they are this smart.
We are humans, we forget easily the important bookmarks. And we recognize and recall visuals easily than URLs or Website Text Description as a list item in a menu. E.g., we don't even remember how many news websites we have bookmarked, how many social media pages we've bookmarked, entertainment sites, etc. Tags help, but again they are in a menu list. which is a tedious process to go through. If we get to have visual bookmarks, it becomes extremely easy to recall and revisit useful websites. The bookmark menu is just a list, which does not give much info like an image+website name. Tags with Images are more useful see this:
Visual bookmarks with tags can help. A tags bar with search on the top will be great.
Please try once: Visual Bookmarks in Chromium
Thank you!
If we visit https://www.brainyquote.com/topics/wisdom, we can see "tags" and "quotes" (if we see them as bookmarks). Visual bookmarks are great, they help you remind useful forgotten sites. and clicking on the tags lists all the tagged bookmarks visually, that's awesome.
Just like Most Visited Pages, Bookmarks can be presented as visual bookmarks.
Please try this extension in Chrome: you'll like it. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/visual-bookmarks/jdbgjlehkajddoapdgpdjmlpdalfnenf?hl=en
