Assalam alaikum brother,
Hope you are fine and doing well. Congratulations on New Year...
I have updated the Pashto translation file please upload that in the...
Sorry for sending it again and again but I noticed that some signs were
being displayed incorrecly. So I fixed them and is
attached...Insha'Allah final.
...And what do you think about adding buttons in the noorgtk for the
Surah and Aya dialogs and others that come by keyboard shortcuts? It is
a little hard to remember all the keys. We should have both the options,
buttons and keyboard shortcuts. I think we should add buttons for them???

I'll try to add an optional toolbar. But I don't have much experience
in gtk applications so it might take some time. I'll give it a try
tomorrow, Insha'Allah.

* I've added an optional toolbar and an optional status bar
* Translations are out-dated. I've updated Farsi translation
* Added contrib/generate_translations.py for generating .mo files
manually, if msgfmt is available
Does it work for you?

Brother, It is just great. The program is improving day by day..Insha'Allah we will have a perfect
software very soon. It is just great..the toolbar, the statusbar. Masha'Allah. Very good brother.
If you could try to add icons with the buttons, it would become so great. Just add examplary icons , if you can. If you were successful, I can send you beautiful icons for them.
...updated the file. attached!!

I never had good taste for UI matters. I don't know where to find
icons and which to select. But adding icons seems to be trivial. So
if you send me icons I'll add them.
> ...updated the file. attached!!
Thanks. Updated. Also I've added a new quit button. That needs
adding one line to noor.po files.

Assalam alaikum brother,
I found four icons for next aya, previous aya, next surah and previous surah. I
think they are good to be used. If they are not good and suitable then we can use
the icons of Zekr or some others.
Ali Gholami Rudi
> Oh......for got to attach the .zip file.
I've added them. You can use gtk.toolbar_style to set toolbar style;
it can be text, icons or both.

Ali

Assalam alaikum brother,
The icons which I had sent you were not transparent. I have made them transparent so now there is now white background in the icons and just takes the color of the toolbar. I have also edited the Noorgtk somewhat. I think it looks nice this way. I removed some of the buttons and reordered them.
Just commit it to the repository. I am working on something other too. I will tell you about that if I was able to do it. If I was not able to do it.....
Don't think of anything..that I have removed some buttons, etc. until I complete what I am doing.

Applied. Thanks.

If you use mercurial, would you send the output ``hg export`` after
committing changes? That way your name and your commit message will
appear in repo logs.

A few comments about the .noor file:
# should noor use arabic aya numbers
#arabic_numbers = 1
should be changed to:
# should Noor use Hindi aya numbers
#hindi_numbers = 1
because the numbers which are called here as Arabic are Hindi. The default ones (12345) are Arabic and (۱۲۳۴۵) are Hindi..hope you understood. For more info, Google for it...
# the language to use
#lang = en
Should be:
# the language to use. currently en, ps, fa, ar
#lang = en
That's all brother....
==================================
The new Noorgtk and icons are attached.
==================================
Brother I am thinking about adding a menubar to Noor. I tried to do it, but I was not able to.
Brother can you add a Menubar to it having two menus and each menu having atleast two menuitems. Name the menus and the items whatever you want and then commit it to the repository. I will download it and edit them..??

I'm not much familiar with language evolutions, but as far as I know,
Hindi language invented literals for decimal number representation
(digits?) which is different from unicode glyphs. The glyphs used for
Hindu numbers ("DEVANAGARI DIGIT ZERO" till "DEVANAGARI DIGIT NINE")
have a similar but different form from glyphs used for Arabic numbers
("ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT ZERO" till "ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT NINE"); The same
is true for Latin, Persian and ... .
Maybe we can add "indic_numbers" as an alias?

I'll try to.
If you use mercurial would you use it to make patches? Sending the
output ``hg export``, will preserve your name and commit message in
repo logs.

Brother the new noorgtk is attached. I want you to make the "go to" in the "View" menu a submenu.
The "go to" should become a submenu and should have a few items. I tried to do it but was not able to do it. Please do it brother and commit the file.

Have a look at the attached file. All of the digit sets have
similarities. Correct me if I'm wrong. Decimal digits were first
used by (an old form of?) written Hindi language. This form has been
imported by other Languages. And Latin digits are variations Hindi
digits indirectly through Arabic ones. So in this sense both Latin
and Arabic digits have Hindi roots. So I think using "hindi_numbers"
is ambiguous or means using "DEVANAGARI DIGIT ..." digits (the first
group in the attached file) which is different from the digits used in
Arabic Quran prints.

It's a version control system. See http://www.selenic.com/mercurial
for more information. Forget it, if you prefer not to use it.

Submenus are supported now.

Brother see the new attached noorgtk.py....
I have added some items in the "Go to" submenu and all of them work properly. Only three items in view and help menu doesn't work. In the help menu the "About" button doesn't work. And in the view menu "Reload and Random Aya" doesn't work. I think they are easy to be implemented and I think you can do it?
I have also attached the new set of icons.
In the menus I have used icons but they are not displayed. It needs style coding please do it.
=====================================
After finishing everything, as always, just commit the new noorgtk to the repo

What should reload do? Currently it goes to the current aya.

Thanks. Updated.

It was added (I don't see any use case for it, though).

zabeeh khan
Brother I used 13Xalmost13 pixel icons for menus and 16x16 for toolbar. It just looks great. I have
also added text to the about dialog, check it. And the reload command should reload the aya not
sura. It already reloads the current aya so no change needed. Please commit this noorgtk to the repo
along with the new set of icons. The icons.zip file includes all the icons. So please delete any
previous icons and don't mix them together. Just use these icons.
Ali Gholami Rudi
Updated. Thanks. By the way, sending diffs might be more efficient.
