| Add your own distro
Jul 21 2015 on content plasma Simple System Monitor |
Alright guys, I noticed no one had a solution here so I jumped into the open source code and did it myself. I now have a logo for Gentoo. If you want to add your logo, there's only a few files to modify. These instructions assume your file locations are the same as mine. If not, you may need to dig around. It also assumes you have the same version as me (I guess?).
First of all, find a png image of the logo you want. For example, I got a Gentoo logo. I resized mine to the same as one of the other logos, 91x97. Save the file as "distro-distroname.png". For example: "distro-gentoo.png". You need to save it to the following folder: ~/.kde4/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/simpleMonitor/contents/code/monitorWidgets/images/
Next, edit the following file:
~/.kde4/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/simpleMonitor/contents/code/monitorWidgets/js/monitorActions.js
Go to the function "getLogoInfo()" and add your distro to the array of names. For example, I added "logoGentoo" to it for mine so it looks like:
var distroLogoNames = ["logoTux", "logoTuz", "logoGentoo", ...(others here)... ];
Next edit: ~/.kde4/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/simpleMonitor/contents/ui/config.ui
Go down to the line with Distro Logos and you'll see there are a bunch of "items" for logos. If you're only adding one like me, you can add it to row 3 column 1. So you'll end up having an extra item in here like:
<item row="3" column="1">
<widget class="QRadioButton" name="kcfg_logoGentoo">
<property name="text">
<string>Gentoo</string>
</property>
</widget>
</item>
Next up is:
~/.kde4/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/simpleMonitor/contents/config/main.xml
Under "<!-- Background Section -->" just add an entry for yours. So I have:
<entry name="logoGentoo" type="Bool">
<label>Distribution logo choice</label>
<default>false</default>
</entry>
I think that's all I did. I just had to restart the plasmoid and then go to the options and select my logo, apply, and voila. There's your custom logo.
If that didn't work, either 1.) I might have made another change I forgot to mention here or 2.) you didn't use the correct name-case for something. Make your file names and code lines similar to mine (i.e. putting logoGentoo and not logogentoo or logo-gentoo). |
