simply awesome !

[ohyes]

Looking great WhoDo Thankyou !
Thx especially for giving us cursor options

Just reinstalled puppy using a frugal install of 2.16.1 of course one of the first things I did was to add Ezpup !

All went well, only a couple of things Im not sure of..'Xlock' Icon is visible but clicking on it nothing happens & 'Blinky' has a grey square around it instead of blending in with the black taskbar like it used to..

Not sure if this has anything to do with using a frugal install for the first time or perhaps something diff with Ezpup 2 ?

This is less a major.. major more a minor.. minor

Cheers

Thx for replying !

I removed .Xlock from root and Xlock again worked but after rebooting it comes back to stop Xlock working.

For Blinky looks like I do have whats required..though below is my startup just incase something is wrong with it

#!/bin/sh
# this script is executed by starticewm when IceWM starts

killall icesound
#icesound &

killall icewmtray
icewmtray &

# dockapps, we must kill each to
# avoid multiple starts when switching a theme

killall icedock
#icedock &

# icedock needs a moment to start, so delay the apps
sleep 2

killall volume.app
#volume.app &
killall wmfishtime
#wmfishtime &

Xlock now OK, Cheers

Blinky still a problem, keeps coming back with the grey square

Also tried overwriting with installing Ezpup again didnt do anything for me.

I changed Blinky bg colour in startup as below and rebooted but the colour still the same..so I guess bg colour switch is not working for some reason but why

killall blinky
sleep 2 && /root/my-applications/blinky-0.8-icewm/src/blinky -bg "#ffffff" &


Also looked in
/root/.icewm/preferences
to see ColorNetIdle=""
That parameter is not there...but it is in
/root/.icewm/icewm/default.theme

# network device
ColorNetSend="#0000FF"
ColorNetReceive="#FF0000"
ColorNetIdle=""

Im using the Ice VistaBlackIV theme

Like I said before though this aint a big issue..and if I really dont like that grey square I can just stop Blinky from starting.

Im gonna try changing to another theme to see if what happens.

[ohyes]

For inifo

Im not sure as to why but, ..the bg switch is not working..tried setting colour from the console ..no difference.

I then tried changing the GTK theme with the GTK THeme Chooser.
.. when I fire blinky up it shows the colour of the chosen theme every time ignoring any colour parameter I put in the bg switch

[ohyes]

it's working now ..not sure why...though Im not game to try and break it

Edit:Played with Mu Theme chooser...if i pick another theme blinky ends up with the theme colour border .. the inner is still black.. so to get around that I m using Aero Clone theme..which blends black
So almost fixed..

I had played with the default GTK Theme and also MU GTK theme chooser so maybe something is wrong there but the problem started before touching either theme choosers.

One thing I noticed when running/starting Blinky from the console is that you get the application messages echoed ..in this case 'blinky'
though I couldnt make sense of what it was telling me.
