zenity, GUI Dialogs from shell

[fiomba]

Hi all,
I recently stepped into zenity, GUI Dialogs from shell. It is a
GNOME application but works also with KDE.
I would like to change some outputs like the format of the date in
the dialog Calendar (from American to European).

For that. I need to get the source. Can someone help me in terms of links where sources can be
downloaded?
Bye.

P.S. For those interested, here you can find the manual.

Hi.

This page has a number of links to sources: freshmeat.net: Project details for Zenity ... cheers, drl

Hi drl,
thanks for the link infos on zenity sources...
Before starting the demanding (for me...) task of modifying the zenity sources,
I solved the immediate problem of the European format for the chosen date
with a somewhat clumsy method:
After having modified the Calendar Dialog Bash example

 
from "then echo $?" to "then echo -n | head -n 1" (line 9)
causing the following different outputs:
from    08/13/2004  (date in American style)
        0 
to      08/13/2004  (only)
I changed the date format executing:
        bash zenity_calendar.sh>x;echo `cat x|cut -d'/' -f2`.
                                       `cat x|cut -d'/' -f1`.
                                       `cat x|cut -d'/' -f3|tail -c -3`
(with as a result:  13.08.04)

Of course, there are more intelligent methods for changing the format of a date
(specially if you want to add also the day of the week)...

Hi,
for the date output format of zenity calendar I had only to read the man (RTFM!)...
From a small snippet of code by Ryan Cartwright...

DATE=`zenity --calendar --day "20" --month "2" --year "2009" --date-format "%a %d.%m.%y"`
if [ $? == 0 ]
then
    echo $DATE
fi

This example output Fry 20.02.09, or whatever you want, according the --date-format....
Bye.
