Ok, so it's really NOT that impressive, or complicated for that matter... but it does work pretty well, and i use it
I'm sure that you could make improvements to it ---- feel free.... post your changes here for everyone to benefit from if you want too. Below is a screenshot (contians several screenshots actually). I made liberal use of the yast_answeringmachine icon (the red phone icon). It's nothing spectacular, but it is much faster than many of the huge applications they have for phone numbers. Tell me what ya think
Make note of my "suggestions" in the code:
Quote:
# Suggestions:
# Copy file into /home/$USER/bin/bpb
# chmod /home/$USER/bin/bpb a+x # To make it executable
# Create an icon on the KDE desktop by right clicking and "create new" "link to application"
# Browse to /home/$USER/bin/bpb and then you can also customize the icon and link name of the icon.
Here is the code for the program......
Code:
#!/bin/bash
