Description ra oeai 2013-03-15 02:19:36 CET

want to put template and change only two images
and send text like a html bg
just change text and maybe put some more images or if this cannot be done
then to download packages or use it from dvdand change those pics while installer change package-sections
if we could template words - this would be better we know sections that user was selected so we can enable just one more section to display/download
so now it's better to tar -xzvf new images

this can be a simple png to gif and back to png function so split 2 images
 
if we can take only few images, setup few text templates - then the presentation can be almost endless and without a lot of downloadings, but i don't know on how things are made for this, is it only pictures for slides? or just text ontop can be provided also?

Comment 1 ra oeai 2013-03-15 02:27:53 CET

the advanced way of setting up the text template
needs just a little more - provide a font for rendering new template, but also know how to render png from command line - this can be not so easy
or enable webkit as an example and do things in html - this will take some resources

drakx/trunk/perl-install/install/steps_gtk.pm #570

the thing is that also there are some sort of buttons in slide show that should change slides, but actually those buttons are not working, so this can be changed too, and on functions of buttons some functions can be set, so they can start compile .png script if user will press them, or change screens after 3 times of looping.

hmm i see that webkit is actually used, so how about to use html pages instead of pngs?

Comment 4 Thierry Vignaud 2015-05-11 10:53:26 CEST

Can you guaranty the HTML pages would fit eg: 500x400?

these threads goes to archive, that i'm not reading usually.
to use html not in percentage mode, there could be few cases, that can switch templates or set different multipliers for needed values such as font or table -width+height. in fact html uses css, so it should all be described through css for various modes.

Could you provide html samples so that I could test?
What I fear is that historically we got segfaults with WebKit.
I fixed/prevented them by moving WebKit into forked processes that displays release notes or help.
This way that don't break the main installer and the segfaults disapeared as the process end after no more using webkit instead of regularly setting up a WebKit view

Alternatively, we could use an overlay widget with an image in background and some transparent label widgets over it

Almost 5 years later and no samples were supplied.
