AleXxiO Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 hi, need to know something more about the widgets in mandriva...can you help? can i use them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelcole Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Which Widgets and in what context do you need to know about them.. There are Qt Widgets and if you do some programing or scripting you can use widgets in that context too. Check out the KDMScripts and the Dynamic Dialog Editor if you are just after making small scripts.. You can edit these files also with a text editor if you know what you are doing..

dexter11 Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Almost everything is open source in Mandriva so it's almost 100% sure you can use them unless we are talking about Acrobat reader's widgets. There are many widget sets available under Linux. The two most used are QT the widget set which KDE uses, and GTK which GNOME uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a native English speaker but I learned that widget = window object. So when I write widget I mean buttons, checkboxes, combo boxes etc. I thought the guy wanted to write a program.

tyme Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 widgets are used in that term more often in the computer industry. "widget" in this sense was started by apple with their "dashboard" program - and is now used by yahoo for their windows version, yahoo! widgets, previously known as konfabulator (before yahoo bought them).
