I spent some time implementing a very rough first version of a graphical timezone selector widget and commited it into branches/tmp/coolo/zone.
Nice.
Slightly off-topic but could you check that it's easy to select cities in Europe with it? The Kubuntu implementation of this makes it difficult to select where you live if you don't live in the US. It requires a lot of dexterity with the mouse to select a specific city in more densely populated areas. The ubuntu version is better though as it has more seamless zooming.
The ubuntu version is "stolen" from ximian and not reimplemented for kubuntu - for whatever reason. And I took ubuntu's idea, even though I could not use much of the code. For my experiments I used http://radcyberzine.com/xglobe/caida_1280.jpg (which is copyright free) and for someone like me it's hard to know to differ Prague and Berlin on first view - fortunately enough it does not matter as long as they have the same timezone :)
Also what about using a geo-ip service to find out where a user is likely to be if connected to the internet and pre-zooming the map? download.opensuse.org already knows this. I guess this might mean exposing zoom level / area through YCP interface somehow.
I don't want to have internet during installation and I don't want to spend much time on implementing something I won't use for installation. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
