1. Annotation: only draw if button 1 is pressed.
2. Improve selection of visible buttons. I think that a aproach using two panels is better. One panel showing avaliable buttons and other showing current buttons.
thanks for the input
> 1. Annotation: only draw if button 1 is pressed.
Don't know (yet) how to do this: When Compiz is drawing/annotating applications don't get mouse-events....

Yes the config-stuff really needs some rafacturing...

I'am not so happy with my answer. I tried to find a way to get all mouse-events, even when my Screenlet does not have the focus. I did that once on windows (there you call it (Mouse-) Hook) - I havn't found a way to do that in gnome without beeing root...
maybe someone can help me with that.... Xeyes does exactly what I want. But It's c code not python ....
this is what i would do
you directory is called CompizButtons
i would create a script (like your perl script ) but in python called CompizButtonsScreenlet.py so that it would be seen in the manager and installable from the manager(out of the box :) ), when that "screenlet" would be launched it would create all the symlinks needed , leaving a message to restart the manager
what do you think?
would could also create symlinks for the icon please
thanks for your advice. It encouraged me to revive my plan to make one screenlet that holds them all (with the possibility to remove unwanted screenlets)....
Why is it not possible to launch them from the manager?
There is an install-script in the package, that makes symbolic-links in .screenlets/ so that every button should appear in the screenlets-manager.
My "problem" with your suggestion:
- Every button depends on debusfunctions.py
- Every button depends on ButtonScreenlet.py or ColorPickerScreenlet.py
Because of these dependencies I would have to copy a lot of files.
I agree with you that my "approach" with the installs-script is not usual for screenlets.
Maybe I will write a little script that makes a package for every button automatically....
Do you have any suggestion?

This screenlet is looking good! 3nt3, could you make a new pager? The one that comes with screenlets has some problems.
:-) will have a look at it... but this may take some time - There are also some bugs in CommpizButtons that must be solved....
