For anyone that is interested, tripl now lives on Sourceforge and has evolved rather a lot since its somewhat hackish beginnings above.

Don't use the code above, instead see http://tripl.sourceforge.net/

@sbaguz: like the general direction there, and I've always liked fluxbox. That'd look quite scary with an HRGiger wallpaper.

@eden6000: What icons are those? Playful.

Try the mplayer108 pup - I had problems with some of the other mplayer pups that are around. Actually since you want to optimize performance for your low spec cpu, you ideally should compile mplayer yourself from source with cpu autodetection switched off (in which case it will compile to run optimi...

I use Damsmall quite a lot for doing various things and because I like the speed and minimalism I also have been through periods of enyoing the challenge of making it do things that seemed unlikely. I endure Fedora Core as punishment for all my sins in this and previous lives, and because it took me...

Thanks WhoDo.

@alienjeff: I hear you, and have read your comments about M$ lookalikes. Since I don't use M$ at all at the moment (yes, I'm that much of a linux snob) it's not really about that for me. @pizzas: Thx that's interesting. Good luck with your moving - the third most stressful life event after 1. Losing...

Somewhere obvious I suppose.

I take it it's set globally?

And I see from here that suspend to ram has its problems generally http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=13410&search_id=1269932568&start=15 but that suspend to disk (S4) might be an option using swsusp2. This gels with my own experience. On fc4, I could get suspend to ram working...

Bootsplash http://splashy.alioth.debian.org/wiki/lib/exe/detail.php?id=screenshots&media=screenshots:splashy-default-theme.jpg I know this has been raised a few times before, but I didn't see if anyone has actually tried it. Mandriva uses something like this. You can switch between the usual boo...

win key on its own brings up the 'start menu'

On my laptop, it already does this (puppy-216 + icewm).

win key + M does nothing however.

I agree that sort of thing helps win refugees, even though I personally don't have a clue what the win key is for.

If I select the a option (start rc.firewall) in Firelog firewall monitor in Puppy-216 without having first ran Linux-firewall-wizard, I get: ============================================ | Starting rc.firewall | ============================================ /usr/local/bin/firelog: line 157: /etc/rc.d/...

I find the font in the XDG menus using Icewm-ultra to be a bit heavy.

How do I change this font?

@MU: This works, but: 1. There's an uncomfortable pause of a few seconds as X starts during which the xtmix GUI hovers in the top left hand corner of the screen. This disappears and the systray icon gets loaded with the others. 2. Clicking on the tray icon causes the xtmix GUI to appear as required,...

There's http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=428704203&t=15539 and probably others. That's just after a quick forum search. I suspect a Puppy virtual machine running under vmware in Windows will probably run much better than Puppy under qemu. Someone's bound to have made a vi...

Yes, I already made my own .pet out of the static binaries.

But it's good to have .pets like this around anyway to save the bother.

I initially had trouble finding the static binaries, which are not for the current release. They don't bother mentioning these on the partimage download page.

Hi I see from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=17554 that suspend to ram is sort-of-working albeit buggily in Puppy. 1. Anyone got a puplet with suspend to disk (hibernate) working? 2. I'm also wondering what happens if hibernating and resuming when running all from ramdisk? Is it po...

In icewm, for example using the Velvet-Azul theme, the start bar icon seems to be in: ~/.icewm/themes/Velvet-Azul/taskbar and in that case is called icewm.xpm In other themes the name might be different. If you enable thumbnails in rox and browse these taskbar directories you can see the icons. I ha...

I made a .pet for this if you can't find one, however since it's in 215CE there should already be one around somewhere.

(I do wish Puppy had a centralized testing repo)

If that's what you mean.

If you're looking for docs: http://roland65.free.fr/xfe/index.php?page=docs

(google is your friend).

Reviving an old thread here, hope that's ok. Is there a satisfactory solution to this yet? I want to put a volume control in the systray on icewm. I'm trying MU's script at present (thanks), it works except xtmix opens maximized after restarting Xorg. How do I get it to open minimized, or, better st...

I agree - tapping is more controlled with the synaptics driver. I don't seem to need to change any other touchpad settings (though I spent a lot of time getting these right with Fedora). Tapping worked out of the box without the synaptics driver too (no scrolling though), but I agree it did lack con...
