Okay, I did it myself. We now have an About box that can be opened from
the tray icon menu. The About box contains four buttons that link to
our website (x.cygwin.com), our User's Guide on the website, our FAQ on
the website, and our ChangeLog that is installed locally with the
XFree86-xserv package.
I would like to modify this slightly in the future to check if the
User's Guide and FAQ have been installed locally (via the cygwin-x-doc
package) and to open those local documents instead of going out to the
web everytime.
The About box is neat, check it out in XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-62 when it
hits mirrors soon.
Sounds cool.
Any chance that it could also contain a link to the main cygwin web
site, too?
Yeah, I think that could be done.
I was also just talking to some people that frequently visit the Cygwin
web site, but had no idea that the Cygwin/X web site even existed. It
seems that it would be useful to add a short blurb on the main Cygwin
site that says something like "Try Cygwin/X for a full-featured free X
Server for Windows including clipboard integration, desktop integration,
and more". I don't want to add that right away, but do you see a
problem with my doing so in the near future?
There is a link at the side to "X11". If you think that's unclear then change
it to something clearer. If you want to advertise releases in the news page
that's fine, too.
I don't think special dispensation for the Cygwin/X project is appropriate
for the main page.
And, if this seems inconsistent with my asking for a cygwin link in the About
box, then feel free to ignore my request...
