Hi i installed glade on my pi last week and have been trying to use the software to create a touch screen interface since then. My issue it that glade is power hungry (like sylar in heroes power hungry) which makes developing anything a slow painful process; especially when there is snow outside that is not yet in the shape of a carrot-nosed man.
Has anyone got any ideas on how i could use glade more effectively. Is it possibly to cross compile to the pi? is there a lighter GUI designer that i could use?
Thanks

Re: Glade on the raspberry pi
I may be mistaken, but I think you can create your Glade UI on another computer, and then transfer the .XML file that it creates to the pi and compile your application there.

Brilliant, I shall add that to the top of my to-do list next week.

Re: Glade on the raspberry pi
I'm a newbie, been trying to get glade, gtk and pygtk working on the RPi, each has been a problem, RPi + glade is slow and I don't know if I am supposed to use Python 2.7 or 3+. GTK and PYGTK 2.7 are finally loaded and I copied a program from Liam Fraser HelloWorld-GTK.py but it gives what appears to be compatibility issues in the first error lines. When I read this post that glade will run on windows and it does, its so much faster and I assume it will work with gtk.builder and python when the XML file is transferred to the RPi .
I'm looking for lines of code to accept the glade 3 xml button signal and light a led or display hello. Seems the hard part are the first few lines of Python code to import the XML . Thanks.
