Hope you had a nice week!

This is the second week of two and things have still been interesting. I’ve never used Fedora as a daily driver but it has taught me great things this week. Most of the time this week was spent on setting up Fedora VMs and testing because it went wrong multiple times. I finally have a working VM (to emulate XO?) but I am not getting similar results as on an XO. For more context, you can go through this issue https://github.com/Hrishi1999/Dashboard.activity/issues/2

Modifications to the Dashboard: Added a detailed view for pie chart. Since we are using pycha library which draws using cairo it can’t be interactive. Alternative ways are to show a) Legends b) Use a treeview to show how many entries of activity in Journal. I went with “b”. Here is a GIF demonstration of the window:

You may have also noticed a refresh icon on the activity toolbar. It’s to refresh the data. It’s a feature WIP.

This week’s plan:

  1. Use badges for Tamagotchi widget
  2. Change the icons of Tamagotchi (??)
  3. Polish the Dashboard activity
