[09:11] <whosurmummy> 	will u tell me where's unity custom file ?
[09:13] <seb128> whosurmummy, what is "unity custom file"?
[09:14] <whosurmummy> ubuntu unity
[09:14] <seb128> whosurmummy, was is a "custome file"?
[09:15] <whosurmummy> a file that defines function of unity
[09:15] <seb128> whosurmummy, what function?
[09:16] <whosurmummy> say，define 没有
[09:17] <whosurmummy> say define my own key shortcut
[09:17] <seb128> that's in gconf
[09:19] <whosurmummy> does unity has it's own configuration file?
[15:16] <gregory_> hi
[15:16] <gregory_> is there anybody?
[15:34] <gregory_> or isn't?
[15:39] <davidcalle> gregory_, there is me. Hi
[15:40] <gregory_> hello, nice :)
[15:40] <gregory_> so
[15:40] <gregory_> i would like to use unity's average color
[15:40] <gregory_> is there a file which contains that information?
[15:41] <gregory_> i mean some configuration file or anything
[15:41] <davidcalle> gregory_, it was a setting at some point, I don't know where it is now.
[15:41] <davidcalle> gord ? ^
[15:42] <gregory_> gord?
[15:42] <davidcalle> gregory_, he should know this
[15:42] <gregory_> ah
[15:42] <gregory_> may i wait for him?
[15:43] <davidcalle> gregory_, well, I don't know if he is around, but he is online.
[15:44] <gregory_> okay
[15:44] <gord> its controlled by gnome-bg these days, i don't think there is a configuration option for that, but it would be nice to have
[15:45] <gregory_> i thought it would be nice to use the unity's color in conky for example
[15:45] <gregory_> and that would be the easiest way
[15:45] <gregory_> to fetch from a file
[15:45] <gregory_> :)
[15:45] <gord> if you can get conky to read an xproperty you can do it that way, its handled by gnome-bg because we had to share the colour between unity and notify-osd
[15:46] <gord> its the property _GNOME_BACKGROUND_REPRESENTATIVE_COLORS  on the root window
[15:47] <gregory_> may i create a short script which reads that property and writes it to a file?
[15:48] <gord> sure, "xprop -root | grep _GNOME_BACKGROUND_REPRESENTATIVE_COLORS" should get you started
[15:48] <davidcalle> gregory_, just found it : xprop -root | grep _GNOME_BACKGROUND_REPRESENTATIVE_COLORS
[15:49] <davidcalle> heh :)
[15:49] <gregory_> :)
[15:49] <gregory_> nice nice :)
[15:49] <gregory_> very nice, thanks for your help
[15:50] <gregory_> and that is changing with the desktop
[15:50] <davidcalle> gregory_, yes
[15:50] <gregory_> yes i see
[15:50] <gord> when you are done, don't forget to post the script somewhere online, seems like a neat idea other people might like :)
[15:51] <gregory_> yes, i'm thinkin about the automatic refresh now
[15:52] <gregory_> because the main project was to make conky's foreground color the same as the unity's
[15:52] <gregory_> and to change it when the background changes
[15:53] <gregory_> maybe i can create a small daemon which reads it periodically
[15:54] <gregory_> or is there a way to do that with a trigger?
[15:55] <gord> yeah add -spy to the xprop command
[15:55] <gord> it'll print out a new value every time it changes
[15:58] <gregory__> hi again
[15:58] <gregory__> so i'm amazed
[15:59] <gregory__> thank you again :)
[16:02] <gregory__> so byebye!
[16:03] <davidcalle> gregory__, bye, ;)
[16:15] <mrmcq2u> hey, is indicator-network ported to gtk3?
[20:13] <mcarolan> hi, i'm writing a lens in python using a SingleScopeLens... i'm having trouble getting it to call my lens for global searches - i've tried adding a global_search(phrase, results) method, but this is never called. i'm probably doing something very stupid, does anybody have any ideas?
[20:19] <mhall119> hi mcarolan, have you tried setting a pdb trace inside your global_search?
[20:27] <mcarolan> hey, no I haven't. i placed a print statement inside global_search - this doesn't seem to be hit. the equivalent statement inside the search method works as expected
[20:28] <mcarolan> do you know if there's any meta information i need to set for the lens to enable global search?
[20:28] <mcarolan> that was my initial thought, but after some googling i couldn't come up with a great deal
[20:29] <mhall119> what does your global_search method take as parameters?
[20:29] <mhall119> it should be global_search(self, phrase, results)
[20:32] <mhall119> global_search is called based on the Unity search type
[20:32] <mhall119> Unity sends a flag to SingleScopeLens telling it whether it's a global search or not
[20:33] <mcarolan> so I have
[20:33] <mcarolan>     def global_search(self, phrase, results):
[20:33] <mcarolan> 	print 'search in global'
[20:33] <mcarolan> ah, how do I set the unity search type?
[20:33] <mhall119> you also need to have an actual search string, or set Meta.search_on_blank
[20:34] <mhall119> it's internal to Singlet's code, it gets passed by Unity over the dbus connection
[20:35] <mhall119> also, if you don't define a separate global_search method, Singlet will just call search() for global searches as well
[20:35] <mcarolan> ahhh, this explains it. I assumed search_on_blank was something else entirely!
[20:36] <mcarolan> it seems to be called now, thanks a lot for your help!
[20:36] <mhall119> np
[20:47] <mrmcq2u> has the gtk3 port been intergrated into trunk for indicator-network
[20:47] <mrmcq2u> ?
[21:03] <ais523> hmm, so it seems that applications don't expose a list of focused tabs and the current tab after all
[21:03] <ais523> which is vaguely ridiculous, as it could really be possible to make good use of that
[21:04] <ais523> particularly annoying is KDE, which exposes pretty much everything over dbus but the information I actually want
