i'm trying to hack together an imitation of the gnome taskbar for e17 using ecore and evas. the drawing is really easy with evas, but i have absolutely no clue how to actually fetch a list of x apps, determine relevant state into, and pass messages to e to manipulate them. is this information/functionality available from ecore or should i be using xlib routines for this? or something else altogether? about all i have to go off of right now is the gnome taskbar source, and it is pretty "gnomey" and not at all what i want methinks - everything is wrapped in gtk/gnome structures. if someone could point me at a better chunk of code to read over or a book's title that would be good place to start, i'd really be grateful and appreciate it. --=20 Brent Blood http://brent.ownsu.net/ |
