Access to the "About Guake"

Reported by: pingou Owned by: somebody
Priority: major Milestone: 0.6.0
Component: guake Version:
Keywords: Cc:

Description

At the moment the "About Guake" can only be access from the tray icon.

What about a link either (or both) in: * The right click in the main window * In the preferences menu somewhere

In the preferences menu that could a new onglet giving information about the autors/contributors but also where to find more help and/or documentation.

Ideas, remarks, suggestions ?

It would be nice to have a way to access about dialog other than tray icon. Becuase now tray icon can be hidden and then you cannot access the about dialog for version and licence info.

Thinking about it with Snapshot, we though that it would be nice to implement the same menu than on the tray icon on the guake icon on the left side of the main window.

I think it would be really better, I think adding this option in the terminal context menu is not a good idea, since this is a not so used feature and user will see it every time.

About prefs window, I think we should add only a "help" button in the left side of close button. And inside help stuff, we can add license and about info.

I'm working on ticket #136 and I'll post an screenshot showing the button on prefs windows.

guake --about is an alternative way.

Just a user, IMHO it would be nice along the lines of :-

$ guake --version

Either just give the version info. or version info + url whatever is convenient.
