[edit] Variants

  • [1] DSL includes the Whiptail program, which is basically a smaller version of Dialog with fewer features. This provides a way to create a keyboard-driven interface within shell scripts that can be used either in the Linux console or an x terminal. An example of its use in DSL is xsetup.sh
    • I can't find a homepage for it..

Most of the DSL-specific gui tools were created by Robert using murgaLua. This is essentially a version of Lua which includes FLTK widgets and a few other features. With murgaLua you can create "normal" text-based Lua scripts, as well as X-based FLTK interfaces that are controlled by Lua.

The official murgaLua release includes Fluid, which is a graphical tool used to create FLTK interfaces, and a lua script that converts the C++ output of Fluid into a Lua script that can be interpreted by murgaLua. < http://www.murga-projects.com/murgaLua/index.html >
