Pony

What is Pony

Pony is your very own little pony. If only those mean people would let you have one.

Pony consists of two parts: the Pony class and a PonyWidget. The PonyWidget gets a Pony when it's initialized. Or tries to anyhow. If it was able to get a Pony, the Pony is drawn. If it was unable to get the Pony, the Pony is drawn with a bright red X to signify the lack of Pony.

Pony also comes with a handy application (pony-test) to proudly inform you of you (lack of) Pony.

Current status

Fully operational. Now you too can add a widget that shows that you've been denied a Pony!

Features:

• Your very own Pony. Or not.
• Shows in bright red your proud lack of Pony.
• Now with 500% more random API horkage. Every. time. you. compile.

OMG! Pony action shots!

Future plans:

• Add random "OMG" event emission from PonyWidget.
• Add API (with horkage) to request new Pony.
• Given the current level of dialogue over gtk+ 3.0, I have become convinced of the necessity of getting the pony class and widget into gtk+ 3.0. It is necessary and an integral part of GNOME 3.0.
