Port to Gnomie Shell about assault HOT 14 OPEN

Holy fuck, it's GNOME, not "the gnommies".

Gnome-shell is difficult, because it's JS, and there's no native code support as far as I know (apart from GIR, but that's Gnome libraries >_>). Gnome2 is easier, but I'm sure there's not really anyone who's still using that. It's something to look into, anyway.

Have you ever been to vietgnome, boy?

Anyways, I can port it to GNOME3 assuming two conditions: (1) filesystem access (2) canvas or cairo icon drawing

If either of these is missing, it's basically impossible. However, there will be a GTK3 StatusIcon app (soon) which will provide this (sans basically all size options)

from assault.

There's no Cairo. Which is butts. Because GNOME3 extensions don't get actual GTK shit n_n

from assault.

GTK is fuckin' hard, man. I don't blame them. Anyways, there might be Canvas access or some other form of drawing system. Honestly, HTML5 canvas is just a JS clone of Cairo.

EDIT: Fixed the title. Fuckin' Gnommies.

There's St, which is some other drawing thing. I should really read the docs for that.

The fuck is St? Looks like some Widget toolkit. Anyways, it has StDrawingArea which appears to just be Cairo.

Fucking knew I should read the docs. But okay, that makes things easier...

Quite easier. What language does St bind to?

St is C-bound but using GIR you can call it from in JS. Or something. All the docs are for C, as is the rest of the GNOME suite

That's awful cryptic. I just hope it works.

I'll shove GNOME3 in a container when I get home and actually play with it. See whether I can call out to C libraries or whether I'm doing this entire thing in JS n_n

from assault.

So, this doesn't look too bad.

If you wanna do this, assign yourself, otherwise I'll add it to my work queue. (JS is one of my areas of expertise, mind you)

from assault.

I'll leave it to the expert ;)
