Chameleon plugin : Native/GTK/QT look for aMSN

[Fenix-TX]

Hi! Yesterday i formatted my HD because i had a lot of problems with some sectors...well, the problem is that i've installed kubuntu edgy. i've compiled tcl/tk 8.5a5 and tile0.7.8 with tcl/tk 8.5a5 but Chameleon doesn't start, in aMSN Console, i've executed package require tile and i have this:

Code:

Can't find a usable tile.tcl in the following directories:
    /usr/lib/tcl8.5/tile0.7.8 /usr/lib/tile0.7.8 /usr/lib/tk8.5/tile0.7.8 /usr/lib/tk8.5/ttk/tile0.7.8 /home/jesus/.amsn/plugins/tile0.7.8 utils/linux/tile0.7.8 utils/tile0.7.8 /home/jesus/.amsn/plugins/chameleon/tile0.7.8 /lib/tile0.7.8 /usr/library

/usr/lib/tile0.7.8/tile.tcl: invalid command name "style"
invalid command name "style"
    while executing
"style theme settings default {

style configure "."  -borderwidth 1  -background $colors(-frame)  -foreground black  -troughcolor $colors(-darker..."
    (in namespace eval "::tile" script line 16)
    invoked from within
"namespace eval tile {

    package provide tile::theme::default $::tile::version

    variable colors
    array set colors {
-frame "#d9d9d9"
-acti..."
    (file "/usr/lib/tile0.7.8/defaults.tcl" line 7)
    invoked from within
"source [file join $tile::library defaults.tcl]"
    (file "/usr/lib/tile0.7.8/tile.tcl" line 155)
    invoked from within
"source /usr/lib/tile0.7.8/tile.tcl"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list source $file]"


This probably means that tile wasn't installed properly.

What can i do?

[JeeBee]

That's because you are using the Tk version that has now Tile included.
Several changes are needed. All references to ::tile::* should become ::ttk::*,
should not "package require Tile", not all procs are there (e.g. ::tile::availableThemes should
be copied somehow). I already implemented that but not in a way that I can commit
(it should be implemented in a way that users with old Tcl/Tk are not affected).

In other words, downgrade Tcl/Tk a bit perhaps? Or do not load chameleon until this gets fixed.

[Fenix-TX]

Ok, thanks

[NoWhereMan]

seems like Chameleon crashes when the font dialog is issued. Alrady sent a bug report through aMSN embedded tracker

bye

WinXP
Just did an svn-update, tried to activate Chameleon --> "you need the tile extension etc..." followed by "Plugins System: Can't initialize plugin: init procedure caused internal error"
I downloaded tile0.7.8 and unzipped it to amsn/scripts/plugins/tile0.7.8

Am I missing something?

[JeeBee]

Hmm, have to ask you as well. Are you using Tcl/Tk svn?
Tile has been integrated in this new version and hence the Tile package
cannot be loaded anymore by chameleon.

Edit: to figure out, start wish8.5 and find out whether you have a namespace named ::ttk

Code:

$ wish8.5
% namespace exists ::ttk
1
%
$ wish8.4
% namespace exists ::ttk
0
%

By the way, I have a patch that quite fixes this problem already. I'll probably soon commit this as not doing so will lead
to more troubles I guess. It's not working very well yet, so I thought I'd discuss it with the plugin's original author,
our beloved mr kkrt, first.

[WM-666]

this is on windows
Don't know which tcl/tk it is using.. 8.4 I guess?

[JeeBee]

Ok, if you didn't compile Tcl/Tk yourself, then this will probably not be the case.
Typing "info patchlevel" at the prompt will tell you what version you are using.
And while you are at that prompt anyways,  :lol: , type "package require tile 0.7" and give us the output.
This thread is getting long..

[kakaroto]

yeah, should be 8.4
press Alt-P and in the plugins window, clear it, then load amsn, and see the error where it says couldn't initialize, paste that line and the subsequent, error related lines...
thx

[kakaroto]

this thread is definitely getting long... I should un-announce it, and reannounce a new one with updated links, etc.. right now, all my previous links don't work...
oh well.. 'someday'...
p.s.: WM, Jeebee said 'at the prompt', he meant, press Ctrl-C from the main window and you'll get a console.. there's your prompt..

[WM-666]

Code:

(scripts) 6 % info patchlevel
8.4.13

Code:

(amsn) 1 % package require tile 0.7
can't find package tile 0.7
(scripts) 2 % package require tile 0.7.8
can't find package tile 0.7.8
(scripts) 3 % package require tile0.7.8
can't find package tile0.7.8
(scripts) 4 % package require tile0.7
can't find package tile0.7

:shock:

hi WM,
it seems that you use an old version of the plugin, because that bug was fixed... if you're using SVN, then I should re-fix it...
about tile not being available, I know why, you put it in amsn/scripts/plugins/tile0.7.8, you should have put it in the chameleon plugin folder, so amsn/scripts/plugins/chameleon/tile0.7.8
try that and see if it works.

p.s.: your signature says tcl/tk 8.5a5.. but you seem to be using 8.4.13.. what a lier :p

[WM-666]

Aha, that was the magic trick
The description of Chameleon said: "For it to be detected (tile) either install it in your tcl lib dir or copy the tile0.7 dir to this plugins directory"
I thought it meant the "plugins" dir, not the "plugins/Chameleon" dir...

tcl/tk8.5a5 is in Ubuntu
8.4.13 is in Windows

*edit* once again thanx for all your patience and help

Hi!!

@KKRT i think i found another bug:

When i have chameleon i have a bug when in the CW i try to chage the font, then appears:

1º

can't use non-numeric string as operand of "-"
    while executing
"expr {$last - $first}"
    (procedure "::pixmapscroll::Snit_methodset" line 111)
    invoked from within
"$path.vscroll set $vmin $vmax"
    (procedure "ScrolledWindow::_set_vscroll" line 19)
    invoked from within
"ScrolledWindow::_set_vscroll .fontsel.frame.topf.labf1.f.sw 0,219424 0,244604"
    (vertical scrolling command executed by listbox)

2º

can't use non-numeric string as operand of "*"
    while executing
"expr {($first * ($newsize - ($arrow1height + $arrow2height))) + $arrow1height}"
    (procedure "::pixmapscroll::Snit_methodDrawScrollbar" line 178)
    invoked from within
".fontsel.frame.topf.labf1.f.sw.vscroll DrawScrollbar"
    (command bound to event)

and is related to the pixmapscroll, because after this bugs (showed each one 3 times), when i try to move the scrollbar another bug:

can't use non-numeric string as operand of "+"
    while executing
"expr {$Priv(initPos) + $delta}"
    (procedure "tk::ScrollDrag" line 16)
    invoked from within
"tk::ScrollDrag .fontsel.frame.topf.labf1.f.sw.vscroll 10 117"
    (command bound to event)

When i disable Chameleon plugin, this does not happen. I disabled to test if pixmapmenu was the trouble... but no... is when you enable chameleon.

[GuS-Arg]

Never mind.. was TileQT the problem.... :S
