ShowOSD parameters

[openbox]

trying to get mm (mins) briefly displayed.
What's wrong with this here script?

import time
min = time.localtime()[3]
eg.plugins.EventGhost.ShowOSD(eg.globals.min, None, (255, 255, 255), (0, 0, 0), 0, (0, 0), 0, 0.5)

If you don't want to export "min" as a global you can do:

Code: Select all

import time
min = time.localtime()[3]
eg.plugins.EventGhost.ShowOSD(str(min), None, (255, 255, 255), (0, 0, 0), 0, (0, 0), 0, 0.5)

If you want to export it you have to do:

Code: Select all

import time
eg.globals.min = time.localtime()[3]
eg.plugins.EventGhost.ShowOSD(str(eg.globals.min), None, (255, 255, 255), (0, 0, 0), 0, (0, 0), 0, 0.5)

But if this is all you want to do, I would suggest to only do the calculation in the script, like this:

Code: Select all

import time
eg.result = str(time.localtime()[3])

and make a ShowOSD action directly afterwards with "{eg.result}" (without quotes) as parameter.
This way it is easier to configure the appearance of the OSD.

Nicely. Thanks.
