Development > Linux Lite Software Development
Who wants to write a basic About box for Linux Lite?
bitsnpcs:
I have changed the code at my end to match now.Your changes make it clear as to what each menu is for :)
I have also made code changes -
I duplicated a label "l3" and did not add a grid below it so it was not in use anyhow, but the line needed deleting as if a grid is added at a future check it would change the spacing.Look for two of this line one below another, around line 108
--- Code: ---l3 = Label(window, text=" ")
--- End code ---
The other changes were tidying, in the define area, lines 38 and lines 41 are now switched with each others line.So that all the define of the Open Url are together and tidy.Rather than 1-7 of Open Url, then a def close window, then def open url 8.
Code with the edits above done, and also with all of your edits done, so I have it all up to date now.

Jerry:
In regards to Themes - Id like to keep the app as simple as possible for the moment. What I did have an idea about is 'Send Logs' from the Menu.
This would make a tar.gz and upload all relevant logs that devs need to see in order to fix a problem. This is already an About box on steroids, so we may need to just concentrate on refinement for now.
Jerry:
#5 - reads my /etc/llver file perfectly, no matter what I put in it. Nice job :)
