Beginners guide to creating a GNOME applet with Python (Part I)
Wednesday, 25. February 2009, 20:22:54
Programming is an art.
To be more specific, it's everlasting art. There is no program that could completely satisfy the users. And I doubt that there is a program that could completely satisfy a programmer.
I spend hours in front of my computer. Of course that is very unhealthy for my eyes. I wanted to create a simple reminder applet - an eyes icon that changes to "bloody" eyes - indicating that it's time to relax.
This was my first GNOME applet, my first GTK and more or less serious Python experience and I'd like too share it with everyone, who deals with his or her first GNOME applet.
I hope, this tutorial will help you.
P.S.
