What is YADGUI ? It's this Website.

Or as we like it to think, YAD for "Yet Another Dialog" + GUI for "Graphical User Interface" - YADGUI

What is YAD ?

YAD is the "Yet Another Diaglog" program that will display GTK+ dialogs, and return (either in the return code or on standard output) the users input. This allows you to present information, and ask for information from the user, from all manner of shell scripts.

Where is yad installed ?

Version 0.1.x - 0.41.x /usr/bin | Version 1.x and above are installed at /usr/local/bin

--------------------------------

Is yad available from Distro Repository ? YES & NO....

Generally 0.4X is available in a Distro Repsoitry. Sparkylinux did have Version 10 in their repository which is newest version to get 90% of options in yad.

However, starting with Sparkylinux 7.x, the UFEI configuration does not support multi-grub configuration by default.

Therefore, we will no longer build with Sparkylinux OS

Distro Versions we use wit yad and penguins-eggs:

Debian 10 (Buster) & Debian 12 (bookworm)

Q4OS 3 Orion & Q4OS5 Orion-Belt - Desktops: Trinity, Gnome, Plasma KDE

Linux Mint Debian Edition 6

Linux Mint 21

What Browswer are we using with Yad ?

You can use any browser but, we recommend the epiphany webkit browser

Install in terminal: sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser

=== yad --dnd===

Yad Drag & Drop to open hyperlink (image or uri) in a new yad --html --browser --uri="link.*" Window:

#!/bin/bash

# Yad Drag & Drop to open hyperlink in NEW YAD Window

function uri_hndl {

yad --width=1300 --height=800 --center --button="Close" --html --browser --uri="${1:7}"

}

export -f uri_hndl

yad --width=250 --height=100 --text="Drop Hyperlink Here" --dnd --use-interp --command='uri_hndl "%s" '

-------------

=== yad --button====

This below script will display an image inside button like this

however !!, you have to use a function before button for image to be included.

# function code

open_yadSource() {
yad --html --browser --width=800 --height=900 --uri="https://github.com/v1cont/yad/releases"
}
export -f open_yadSource

# button code

--button="!$iconDir/applications-education-miscellaneous.png!Get Yad Source":"bash -c open_yadSource "

Top

===yad --form ===

This below yad --form --field code will display images of native size (use --keep-icon-size). Here I use BTN but, FBTN is also an option if you are not using images for buttons.

yad --plug=$KEY --tabnum=2 --text="Single-click icons below" --form --no-buttons --scroll --keep-icon-size \

--width=200 --height=550 --columns="2" --window-icon="gtk-directory" --tab="Yad Group" \
--field="!$icon_dir/user-group-new.png!Yad Official Group":BTN "yad2 --html --browser --width=1000 --height=700 \

--center --uri='https://groups.google.com/g/yad-common'"
