Hi, I want to write a "hosted" trivia type program (will be GPL). The idea is that the "host" with a laptop operates the GUI on the laptop screen, while an external monitor/projector displays what is visible to the participants.
The external screen should contain a fullscreen window that can quickly flip between displays. For example, one display might have the current scores, one might have the question with optional choices, one might be a canvas, and one might display photos.
In programming Firefox/XUL, there is a <deck> element that would do this nicely. You can programatically change the widget that is currently on top and being displayed. But I didn't seem to see one in GTK+ after browsing through the Glade interface builder and the documentation.
Does one exist? If not, how might you do it?
I'm pretty sure I want to do this application in Python using the GTK/Gnome bindings, building it with Glade. I might be open to other tools though.
Thanks!
