GLASHCTL |
| 2 |
======================================================================= |
| 3 |
This is a simple applet for controlling the LASH Audio Session Handler. |
| 4 |
When you run it it will appear as a small LASH icon in your "notification |
| 5 |
area" or "system tray" (if your desktop manager is compatible with |
| 6 |
freedesktop.org's "System tray" standard, |
| 7 |
http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/systemtray-spec). This is typically |
| 8 |
somewhere in the panel in KDE or GNOME. |

WMGLASHCTL |
| 12 |
======================================================================= |
| 13 |
wmglashctl is a WindowMaker-compatible dockapp. It works exactly like |
| 14 |
glashctl. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
BUILDING IT |
| 18 |
============================================================ |
| 19 |
To build this program you will need the following libraries: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
* libgtkmm (2.10.1 or newer) |
| 22 |
* liblash (0.5.1 or newer) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
You will also need to have the LASH server, lashd, somewhere in your $PATH. |
| 25 |
To build the program with the default configuration (install in /usr/local, |
| 26 |
compile with -g -O2 etc), simply type 'make' in this directory. If you want to |
| 27 |
change the configuration, use the configure script (run configure --help for |
| 28 |
details). When you type 'make' a program called glashctl should be generated, |
| 29 |
and when you type 'make install' it should be installed on your system. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
You need to install it before you run it, otherwise it won't find the LASH |
| 32 |
icon file and will not start. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
USING IT |
| 36 |
============================================================ |
| 37 |
To use the applet, simply run the program 'glashctl'. If you have a |
| 38 |
standards-compliant system tray on your desktop a small LASH icon (a |
| 39 |
cardboard box with a soundwave on it) should appear there. It is probably |
| 40 |
insensitive (greyed out), unless you were already running lashd or have the |
| 41 |
LASH_START_SERVER environment variable set to 1. If you right-click the icon |
| 42 |
a menu will pop up where you can choose to start lashd. When lashd has |
| 43 |
started the icon should become sensitive (show colours), and you will be |
| 44 |
able to restore audio sessions and make JACK connections, and when there is |
| 45 |
an active session, save it, close it, rename it or change its directory. You |
| 46 |
can also quit the applet from the popup menu. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
The program 'wmglashctl' is exactly the same, except that its LASH icon will |
| 49 |
appear in a WindowMaker compatible dock or in a separate window instead of |
| 50 |
in the system tray. |

NOTES |
| 54 |
============================================================ |
| 55 |
The LASH icon was created by Thorsten Wilms for the LASH project |
| 56 |
(http://lash.nongnu.org). |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
I know that the GNOME HIG discourages using the notification area for |
| 59 |
permanent icons and icons that have actions other than just opening a window |
| 60 |
associated with them, but until there is a standard for writing normal panel |
| 61 |
applets that work in both KDE and GNOME and in other window managers I'll do |
| 62 |
it anyway. |
