Puppy 2.15CE "Viz" - Patches and Updates

That's all we do, is it? Right click, and save as Add to /usr/local/apps/OpenOffice/program as intro.bmp ??

Sounds too simple.

I wonder if any other applications do that too...

That's all there is to it. Remember, Open Office is an open source project, not a M$ product!

I found the .bmp here
/opt/openoffice.org2.2/program

changing it for the intro.png meant I now have no logo
OO is not loading it . . .

. . . prefer that anyway

perhaps you should have called it .bmp in the filename?

[Lobster]

yes I did that

yes I did that

After changing the file format from png to bmp?

[Lobster]

eh no . . .
OK it works now (no more laffing from the fish)


as a penance I made it OO Tmxxine compatible

I won't say anything mate hehehe

I've started checking what apps have a splash screen that is configurable. Naturally I made a start withh OOo v2 (thanks Whodo for the idea).

Here are the OOo v2 ones I could find...
http://micro-hard.homelinux.net/OOo2_splash/

I located the only OOo 1.1 I still have in captivity...
http://micro-hard.homelinux.net/OOo1_splash/

Sun's Java Desktop System has Sun's version, Star Office...
http://micro-hard.homelinux.net/staroffice7_splash/

Note: These are all bitmaps (.bmp) to avoid any need to convert the file format

If anyone knows of any other apps with editable splashes, please PM me or even post it here, and I'll put them online. If there are many, it might be an idea to put them all in a splash directory on the root, for example micro-hard.homelinux.net/splash/OOo2/

Lobster I created from your gorgeous design a smaller .bmp that is the same size as the others and called it intro2

... I picked up the "fine art" idea elsewhere, but this creation is all mine specifically for Puppy. Woof!

Edit: Some versions of Gimp have it at /usr/share/gimp/2.0/images.

Hi, when I use 2.15ce, and run the xorgwizard, I cannot manually edit the etc/x11/xorg.conf file using the setup boxes. I select edit and it goes straight to the next screen. It turns out there is a missing program "mp", which is a text editor present on most puppies but not on 2.15ce which the xorgwizard uses for editing the file.

I put a post on explaining this problem which bruce b has kindly supplied a solution for. Currently editing the xorg.conf file is the only way of making a computer with two graphics cards (say an underrated onboard one with an extra more powerful pci one) work. Xorgwizard creates entries for both parts , one of which must be removed. Ive documented this fault here some time ago, anyone know if its been fixed yet?

Just to let people know!

mouse pointer disappears - I have the same problem - had it with 2.17 and have it now with 3.1. Seems I started having the prob since getting a new MB with a dual core AMD cpu. What cpu's do you people have? Coudl that be the problem?

[ps]

This is what I found in the KDE.Linux list

I added that line and have not had the problem since
