Free dialog windows software for linux

Though similar in style to CDK, Dialog is different, being a script-interpreter which provides a set of curses widgets. Widgets are objects whose appearance and behavior can be customized. There is a much-reduced variation of dialog, called lxdialog, which is used in Linux kernel configuration.
Dialog allows you to present a variety of questions or display messages using dialog boxes from a shell script. Several types of dialog boxes are implemented including: calendar, checklist, file-selection, gauge, info, input, menu, message, radiolist, tailbox, text, time, yes/no.
Enhancements:
- change license to LGPL.
- change naming convention in dlg_colors.h to make it easier to read, and incidentally remove the last chunk of code preventing relicense.
- add --passwordform (request by Reznic Valery).
- modify pause.c, msgbox.c to work with --help-button.
- modify formbox.c, inputbox.c, textbox.c, yesno.c to work with extra button (adapted from Reznic Valery patch).
- modify dlg_exit_label(), dlg_yes_labels() and dlg_ok_label() to allow help-button (prompted by Reznic Valery patch).
- add zh_CN.po file from http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/
- provide alternate interfaces for dialog_checklist(), dialog_menu() and dialog_form(): dlg_checklist(), dlg_menu() and dlg_form() (discussion with Michael Gebetsroither).
- add/use dlg_result_key() to allow binding function keys to the buttons.
- implement user-definable key bindings in the rc-file.
- modify inline cases for KEY_xxx values to use binding tables in new module dlg_keys.c
- add several DIALOG_STATE items to the rc file: aspect, separate_widget, tab_len and visit_links
- add a tab-adjustment to dlg_print_text() to improve solution from 2005/10/30, e.g., in the samples/form* scripts.
- fix an off-by-one which made mouse-selection not work for menu items past the first page (GenToo #112024, patch by Harald van Dijk).

dialog-mp3-list generates an organized list of your CDs and directories of MP3s. It shows a numbered list of MP3s with information on their encoding speed and track lengths. It uses Dialog/XDialog and Latex to create lists in .tex, .ps, and .pdf formats.

You can modify the source file .tex and then you can compile it with the commands:

latex lista-mp3-albuns.tex
dvips lista-mp3-albuns.dvi -o
ps2pdf lista-mp3-albuns.ps

cdialog allows you to present a variety of questions or display messages using dialog boxes from a shell script.
Starting point for cdialog v.0.9a was dialog-0.6c. Many new features like as Resolution-independence, Auto-sizing, Maximizing, more widget on the same screen (multi-widget), etc. were added. New widget are tailbox and tailbox-in-background. Here are the options:
Usage: dialog
{ --and-widget }
At the moment, mouse support with libgpm cant be added because it doest implement the wtimeout() function of ncurses. Wtimeout() is needed to have more widgets (es.tailbox) cooperating on the same screen... I dont know if with newer versions of libgpm will be possible
Enhancements:
- A check for defunct input/output connections was added.
- Other minor fixes were made.

pidgin-hotkeys is a Pidgin (previously known as Gaim) plugin that allows you to define global hotkeys for various actions such as toggling buddy list, fetching queued messages, opening preferences or account dialog.

Gtk2::Ex::PrintDialog is a simple, pure Perl dialog for printing PostScript data in GTK+ applications.

SYNOPSIS

use Gtk2::Ex::PrintDialog;

my $dialog = Gtk2::Ex::PrintDialog->new; # a new dialog

$dialog->set_data($postscript_data); # supply some postscript data

$dialog->set_filename($postscript_file); # get postscript from a file

$dialog->run; # show the dialog to the user

This module implements a dialog widget that can be used to print PostScript data. It is intended to be a lightweight and pure-perl alternative to the Gnome2::Print libraries.
This module uses a simple system of operating-system specific backends that are used to do the job of printing. Currently, only a generic Linux/Unix backend (implemented using Net::CUPS) is available, more will be added in the future.

The dialog itself is intended to comply with the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines (HIG). It allows the user to print to any printer installed on the system, or to an external command such as lpr, or to print a PostScript or PDF file.

This module is UNSTABLE, the behaviour and API of its components may change in the future.

DateChooser is a Java class that allows a programmer to present the user with an input dialog for easily choosing a date and feeding it to the program.

Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Message provides a simple message dialog.

SYNOPSIS

use Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Message ( destroy_with_parent => TRUE,
modal => TRUE,
no_separator => FALSE );

# do some stuff like creating your apps main $window then,
# to ensure that all messages use the right parent, set it:
$Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Message::parent_window = $window;

# now popup a new dialog ( blocking the main loop if there is one )
new_and_run
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Message ( title => "Dialog Title",
text => "This is a simple message" );

# now popup a somwhat useful dialog that doesnt block any main loop
# but on the other side of the coin, if there is no main loop the
# dialog will be completely unresponsive.
new_show
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Message ( title => "Uhm",
text => "Use when there is a main loop." );

This module provides a simple dialog api that wraps Gtk2::Dialog objectively. The objective is a clean and simple message dialog (only an "OK" button).

Diago is the dialog-based system to easily create nested menus, execute programs and start connections to remote systems in the console sessions. This project is released under the terms of GPL v3 or later.

While dialog is good to create a single… well, dialog… in the console mode, Diago extends it adding a possibility to quickly and easily create a nested menu.
