Description : tdmenu offers a new menu-method for the menu package
and fvwm to beautify the nacked looking menus with
icons and sidebars in 33 languages currently.
I am using fvwm2 since 7 1/2 years and have beautified all of my menus
with sidebars and icons. Now I have considered to add icons and
localized Sidebars to the Debian-Menu-System. This was done by heavy
rewriting the default /etc/menu-methods/fvwm
I do not know, whether other WindowManagers support icons or sidebars
but it can added easily at request if I know, how the menus are working.
The soucre "tdmenu" create three type of binary packages.
1) tdmenu A meta package which install ALL
2) tdmenu-common Contain the "update-tdmenus" executable and
the icons and the default english sidebars.
3) tdmanu-<locale> Each package contain a language set since I
am sure no one like to install 39 MByte per
default.
Since I do not wat to do the job twice, the tanslations <locale> are
taken from the "menu" package (Attention: "ku" is incomplete)
With the release 0.2.0 "tdmenu" support following 33 languages:
ar be bg ca cs da de el en eo es eu fi fr gl he hr hu id
it ja ko ku lt nb ne nl nn pt ru sv tr zh_CN
Future releases (depends on my free time) will support the rest of the
languages like:
dz km pl pt_BR ro sk th tl uk vi wo zh_TW
Note for Mentors/Developers:
I am not able to create dz (Bhutan) and km (Khmer) since it seems
there is a bug in the fontpackages any hints what can I do?
And last not least, the package will reach version 1.0.0 if
all languages supported by the "menu" package are added.
Please note:
Some Languages need work since I have not a very big experience with
fonts and in some languages they look a little bit ugly. If you like
to see font changes in some <locale> please let me now, WITH the
appropriated Debian font package and the name of the desired font of
a size of arround 13-17 (14) pixels.
Last note:
The package version 0.2.0 is installed on Sarge, Etch and Sid
and works (currently) properly without any errors.
