Guys,

Screenlets are brilliant.

I was wondering if anyone would have a time and skill to write a small spplet for Screenlets to show the data sourced from one of the major currency exchange websites like xe.com, onada or even google/yahoo finance and made a screenlet showing 2-3 currency pairs, small graph and curent exchange rate ?

I know only php, html so it's not a job for me :(

- Would anyone like to create it ?

I think that you make a special string like this (for each localization): https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-tweak/trunk/+pots/ubuntu-tweak/it/97/+translate

Just one question though, is this version (0.1) the follow up of the screenlets 0.0.12/14? Or is it another project?

Hi!
Thanks for your good work! Only a small problem: with RingSensors only the temperature values are shown from acpi but the ring scaling remain stopped on the first sector. Have no idea where in RingSensorsScreenlet.py is possible to define max and min values for the temperature...

you should report that to them , i use the standard way to removed decoration

Ok the Issue is that _MOTIF_WM_HINTS(_MOTIF_WM_HINTS) and _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOOLBAR seem to conflict.

But theres an easy workaround:

Andrea Vettorello told me this on the sawfish mailing list:

Quote:As a temporary hack, create a new "match windows" rule (Sawfish menu
-> Customize -> Matched Windows), use "^.*Screenlet\.py$" (without
quotes) as Name and select "Frame type" none under "Appearance", this
should remove decorations from all screenlets.

That solves the Issue.
