Hello tso! Could you elaborate a bit more on that idea? Are you suggesting moving all the buttons to another display, so that there are no longer any buttons along the bottom of the window? If so, why would that be better that currently?

Hmmm...I will have to check that out! The version on my tablet seems to be fine in that mode --

This is what prevented me -- for the longest time -- from having any 'interactivity' at all (buttons, etc). It was only when it dawned on me to use my own clumsy 'virtual' buttons that I was able to introduce that ability. Specially for setting the lat/long, another feeble alternative is to use the new feature in the 'earth' mode (sunclock) to set a new location by 'clicking'. However, this is not permanent -- but it quickly enables re-setting to any other world location.

On the other hand, I have *not* investigated what other developers have managed to accomplish re: interactive GUI features on their desktop applets -- especially not the Python-based ones, so perhaps there are (now) ways of doing stuff like this that I am not aware of

- your 'window' is too low so the 'buttons' at the bottom are being cut off (?)
- a bug in the program is not allowing the 'button' code to run (one of the annoyances about this applet development is *no* error messages whatsoever -- at least none that I can see/use)

well what hometools do is not so much add buttons on the front as open its own settings dialog.
that is, by going to menu > applet settings > hometools, one can open a window that allows one to change text colors, fonts and so on.
so basically you could open a window that allows one to set defaults like text shown or hidden, position and so on...

Yep, the README file mentions the 'lack' that you point out. For now, it is the best that I can do. In the meantime, does the new version even *work*? I hadn't had time to 'test' the packaging itself.

seems to work ok here, it even gave me a more correct looking daily sun track after i ended up testing the gps way of setting my location.
