Hey, it's rm_you!
Check out Advanced Backlight Statusbar Applet!
IRC with Timeless concerning GTK stuff with the sound applet:
timeless: Searching... timeless: ok timeless: Found one matching line rm_you: and then once you know what the name of that object is, find what container they add it to rm_you: then all I need to know is what type of container it is timeless: it gets munged by gtk_box_pack_start rm_you: gtk_box_pack_start... ok rm_you: into what kind of box rm_you: and what does that box get added to timeless: gtk_vbox_new (false, 5) timeless: and into the soundwindow, whatever that is rm_you: ok, so they put the "hildon_hvolumebar_new" object into a "gtk_vbox_new" object rm_you: and that gets added to... a "soundwindow"? timeless: g_object_new (... "statusbar-item" ...) rm_you: ... what? timeless: yeah a SOUND_TYPE_WINDOW rm_you: can you do a search for "gtk_menu" timeless: oh. yeah, essentially this reimplements and delegates to things :) rm_you: ? timeless: basically the sound_window thing acts almost like a gtkmenu container timeless: and special handles things to make it all work :) rm_you: .... timeless: e.g. it has a set_focus method which will call gtk_menu_item_(de)select on things rm_you: so rm_you: but rm_you: but rm_you: but rm_you: WHAT!? timeless: sorry, I'm definately not copying the rest of the code timeless: (gone)

what follows is JavaScript notation based on C GObject code.
function SoundWindow() {
var box = new gtk["vbox"];
gtk["container"].add (this, box);
box.pack([volumebar, ...]);
}
SoundWindow.prototype = {
type_hint: GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_MENU,
name: "hildon-status-bar-popup",
resizable: false,
decorated: false,
/* i think this is the cute border you're asking about, and yes, it
seems like it's just hard coded into the C */
border_width: 20,
keep_above: true
}
fwiw, the same general approach is used by the display applet.
