I am announcing the introduction of a new module, Desktitle for Bodhi linux 5.x.

You can read about it on its github page.

This module is a rewrite and fix of an old e17 module by the same name.

To install:

Note: this module has not been translated so any users wishing to help translate to their native language please fork the module and send a pull request. If this is too difficult please contact Štefan or I.

Special thanks to Štefan (the waiter) for helping in this project.

Thanx Robert for bringing this module back to life

I can add some more info.

What is new in compare with original module:

1. Fixed the code for compiling under Moksha
2. Added a new feature for adjusting gadget's size according the desktop name text
3. Color dialog added
4. Fixed severe code which caused infinite loop when moksha restarts
5. Code clean and rewritten to the module code standards

To be honest, the module was in really bad shape. We both spent several days on it but wish our users will like it and found useful

I would like community input on translations. If you wish to help you can do it here. Štefan has already translated Slovakian and I have asked someone for spanish. So for any other language Translate the strings below and leave your name and e-mail and of course language if you wish to be given credit in the source code. If you are reluctant to post an email address online email me with the info (ylee at bodhilinux.com):

#: src/e_mod_config.c:42 src/e_mod_config.c:83
msgid "DeskTitle Settings"
msgstr ""

#: src/e_mod_config.c:85
msgid "Label color"
msgstr ""

#: src/e_mod_config.c:87
msgid "Click for the color selector"
msgstr ""

#: src/e_mod_main.c:196
msgid "DeskTitle"
msgstr ""

msgstr ""

#: src/e_mod_main.c:270
msgid "Save"
msgstr ""

#: src/e_mod_main.c:279
msgid "Settings"
msgstr ""

Also need the desktop file translated. Only one sentence:

Comment=Gadget to display the current desktop's name.

Thanks Kuuko

We now have slovakian, spanish, finnish, french and italian added. That is a start

Noticed a teensy bug - when I first start Moksha, the default left hand workspace shows the desktop title gadget at a vertically lower position than on the alternate right hand one. If I then select the left hand one again, the gadget jumps up to the same position as on the right, and then stays there as expected for further swaps.

Video or some screenshots would be great for better understanding

Sure.

Initial login, switch to right workspace, switch back to left hand workspace:

The issue fixed. Robert also added a new interesting feature. Let us test it. If OK, deb will appear in repo soon

It is in the repos now. In addition to Štefan's placement fix the module now has two additional new features:

• Now virtual desktop settings also appear in the desktitle right click context menu
• The edit desktop name window can now only be opened one at a time per virtual desktop.
