[gui-dev] A firewall indicator in the GUI

[Marcin Okraszewski]

Hi,
I've done the firewall indicator. It is displayed as text between
quality and number of shared files (see attached screen shot). How
should I now commit my changes? Will I obtain some personal CVS access?

Best regards,
Marcin Okraszewski

You can't commit directly in the CVS repository. This is said on the
Limewire.org web site. Only a Limewire employee can store sources in the
Limewire "gui" and "core" CVS modules, after reviewing contributions and
testing them.

You can get full read access to the sources, but the standard is for
everybody not working for Limewire to send your contributions as patches and
sources in attachments to the documented email list addresses (for example
gui-***@lists.limewire.org for discussions about the GUI and
***@lists.limewire.org only if your message contains patches and
sources, as they are archived separately).

If you intend to make large contributions to the LimeWire.org open-source
project, it's best to speak about the changes or additions you want to do
before making too much work, as some contributions are not always accepted.

You can also use the project management site (made with the "JIRA" toolkit
suite) to send comments and bug reports.

Hope this helps.

Philippe.

Marcin,

Cool! It looks like the "status bar" has increased in vertical size a
little bit. Unfortunately, this space is at a premium... Did you
consider any other designs?

As far as contributing your changes, please create a patch and send it
to us so we can see what you've done. Directions on how to do so are
here:

Thanks for looking into this!

Justin

Hi,
I'm attaching patches for both gui and lib (messege boundles) - one per
project. I've gzipped them, because my native2ascii converted the UTF a
bit different than the previous release (some Polish letters were inline
the text) and so there are a lot of lines changed.

Well, for me it didn't increase (maybe several pixels), but rather the
labells fills the space totally. I tried to put the status after
connection status, but it was chanching position after every change of
status.

Hi Marcin,

You're right; the status bar did not increase in size, even by one
pixel! However, the labels do make the status line look a little too
crowded.

I think what we really want is to rework the status bar to be more like
the status bar in IE:

Hi,
I will think of it. Unfortunately such work is connectet with graphics
and I'm not good in it :( Anyway I'm a bit busy now, so probably I
couldn't start doing it for next two weeks.

I attach message bundle patches.

Regards,
Marcin Okraszewski

Note how there are partitioned sections explicitly set up for certain
indicators. We would like something similar, with indicators for
connection quality, firewall status, # files shared, the media player,
and even an area to display arbitrary text.
Also, if you can send me a separate diff of your fixed translation, I
can incorporate that right away.
Thanks!
Justin

What is the extension .tbz2? is that .tar.bz2? My bzip2 tool for Windows
can't read it.

Yes, it is tar.bz2. I tried it and it worked on my computer. Anyway -
tar.gz this time.

If you have any other ideas how to indicate firwall, I can try it.
