Whats the newest way to develop gnome panel applets (using python)

2024/11/16 18:06:50

Today I've switched to GNOME (from XFCE) and found some of the cool stuff missing and I would like to (try to) do them on my own. I tried to find information on how to develop Gnome applets (items you place within the panel) and most likely in Python, but it's not a hard limitation.

I found the article 'Gnome applets with Python', but it seems quite old (2004). The first thing mentioned there is bonobo (whatever it is), but Gnome page on Bonobo discourages it.

Gnome site has a page on applet development, but this one is even older (2003) and incomplete (lot of fixme write).

What is the current approach then? I wouldn't want to learn something outdated.

Answer

Theres an article called Gnome Panel Applets in Python from 2008 on the Ubuntu forums that may help with this.

This includes defining a bonobo component. This Gnome documentation on applet development states that

Technically, applets are Bonobo controls embedded in the Gnome panel

So it looks like that is the correct way to go.
