GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 591375
make slideshows visually distinct
Last modified: 2009-08-26 06:53:55 UTC
We should make slideshows visually distinct. Right now the only way to tell something is a slideshow is the tooltip. It is also misleading when the visible frame changes without reason. Maybe show the different frames stacked and cycle through them visually. Maybe eventually have a way to configure the slideshow. We'd need to have a way to filter out other information in the slideshow that is simply used to get aspect ratio proper images. We should also show information about the transitions. Especially the frequency.

Created attachment 140617 [details] stacked frames The patch fixes the tooltips to not lie about the backgrounds, and adds a stacked frame decoration around slide shows. Doing more complicated things, like controls to flip through a slideshow, would require more gnome-desktop api.

This patch adds two little buttons below the slide show that let you step through the frames of the slide show, to see whats in it.

+ gnome_wp_item_ensure_gnome_bg (item); gnome_wp_item_update (item); gnome_wp_item_update_description (item); - gnome_wp_item_ensure_gnome_bg (item); Seems like this part will try to use the background colors before they are loaded from gconf.
