YAD is a Zenity fork.
I have this yad
script:
#!/bin/bash
yad --text="Execute the file? (press 'Cancel' to open in text editor)"
case $? in
0)thunar "$1"
;;
1)gedit $1
;;
esac
Associated with a desktop file as application launcher, it can be used to display a window when clicking a file (e.g. a script, etc).
In zenity, the name of the labels can be edited:
The same script with Zenity should look like so:
#!/bin/bash
zenity --question --text="What to do?" \
--ok-label=Run \
--cancel-label=Edit
case $? in
0)thunar "$1"
;;
1)gedit $1
;;
esac
And Run
and Edit
can be changed.
I think that here it says that yad
has means to edit the labels:
–button=BUTTON:ID
Add the dialog button. May be used multiply times. ID is an exit code or a command. BUTTON may be gtk stock item name for predefined
buttons (like gtk-close or gtk-ok) or text in a form
LABEL[!ICON[!TOOLTIP]] where `!' is an item separator. Full list of
stock items may be found in gtk-demo program, in snippet called "Stock
Items and Icon Browser". If no buttons specified OK and Cancel buttons
used. See Exit Status section for more. If ID have a non-numeric value
it treats like a command and click on such button doesn't close the
dialog.
But I'm not sure. And I don't know what to make of that info. I need an example on how the buttons of my yad
script above may have their names changed.
I have reasons to use yad
instead of zenity
– the zenity script cannot me dismissed with close or Esc.

I am not totally sure what you mean, but if I understand it correctly you want something like this:
I found a link (ubuntuusers.de), but it is in German. There are a few code examples and pictures though, that might help. And you can always translate it with google.
I would have written this as a comment if I could, but I am not yet allowed to. Hope it helps.
