Global keybindings in GTK+
Sunday, December 14th, 2008Dear lazy web,
How can I add some global keybindings in a GTK+ application? Something like GNOME-do does…
The Story of Stuff
Saturday, June 7th, 2008Take a look at “The Story of Stuff” and see how we are destroying our planet and how important is we change our life’s style.
And the name is…
Monday, April 7th, 2008Hello you all! Thanks for comments on my previous post. I’m a very encouraged artist now. 
I’ve selected the best name for the Simon clone: Garfunkel. Thanks to Christian Sasso, who suggested the name. Do you like it?
For those who wants the SVG, checkout it from the gnome-edu module at GNOME Subversion repository.
I’m working (slowly, because I have not many time) on the code and I’ll release it as soon as possible.
Dear Masters of the Coding Art,
What is the best way to draw the SVG (please keep in mind I’m writing a game) into the widget? Using LibRSVG and GdkPixbuf (as in Monkey-Bubble) or using rsvg_handle_render_cairo? Thanks for your very welcome help.
Another name for GSimon
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008The new (temp) name of GSimon is Genius. I’m still checking for legal issues related to this name, but I think is a good name for a Simon clone.
Also, I left the direct drawing on Cairo to use librsvg (which can bring up different themes for the game). I’m not a good artist, so what you think about the default theme?
Comments are very welcome. I need an icon for Genius too.
FISL 9.0
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008Dear GNOMErs,
If you’re going to FISL 9.0, in Porto Alegre, Brazil, please add your name in our “Who are going” list: http://live.gnome.org/FISL/2008.
See’ya!
GSimon is coming!
Saturday, March 15th, 2008
I’ve worked in a game called gsimon, a Simon clone for GNOME. It’s my first code using Cairo and I hope will be the fist project of many others.
I’ll code some educational software/games and propose to add a “gnome-edu” module in GNOME. GNOME needs educational stuff.
What do you think about it?
Yet about custom widgets with Cairo
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008Dear lazyweb,
Thanks for all who gave me tips about my previous post. Now, I have another issue:
That’s a cairo widget with four paths. Is there a way to treat each path individually?
Thanks again!
Custom widgets with Cairo.
Sunday, March 9th, 2008Dear lazyweb:
Is there a way to create a custom widget with Cairo so that it is “clickable” only in the painted area?

e.g.: capture the mouse click only in the white area.
