pWidgets 2.5.8
Good point dinky. I've just checked and my wallpaper setting is in
rot/.config/tmp/bg_img (puppy 4)
so i've changed the code to reflect it (in fixwidgets) and got instant transparency.

Do you know why your wallpaper setting is in
/root/.config/tmp/bg_img
and not
/root/.config/wallpaper/bg_img

I have been trying hard to get the Pwidgets analog clock to show up at boot without clicking or banging or anything, and.. SUCCESS!
I installed 'xevents' http://www.isv.uu.se/~ziemann/xevent/ and that is a small program to generate a keystroke or mouse click or cursor movement.
What I did was write a script (WOW! my first script! Please point out to me what I could have done better, but it works ) that sleeps for 5 seconds to allow the window manager to load then moves the cursor a few pixels and left clicks the mouse. I edited /usr/sbin/fixwidgets to point it to the script and viola!
Please give feedback, thanks in anticipation.
Update: 'wakeclock.sh' reuploaded, 14/12/08, newer version
Important update: 20th December, '08: There is no need to download this fix because it is now included in Pwidgets-0.2. I will leave it here for perusal/criticism/feedback. The small program 'xevent' may be useful for other purposes.

Hi micko puppy has a folder located01micko wrote:I have been trying hard to get the Pwidgets analog clock to show up at boot without clicking or banging or anything, and.. SUCCESS!
/root/Startup
if you system link any file inside it, It will start up automatically after everything is booted. Kind of easy that way.
Also since your using icewm, I think you are, Just edit
/root/.icewm/startup (hidden folder)
and follow the examples in it

Ok, getting a bit too excited here. There is a problem with my fix if you place it in /root/Startup. The clock will not start automatically if you reconfigure Pwidgets from the Pwidgets GUI. Grrrrrrrrr!
So, I edited /usr/sbin/fixwidgets by adding the following line at the end of the script directing it to my script,
Works great in JWM but now I have some conflict in Icewm with the tray, could be due to an app I use called 'tray_mixer'. Will investigate
EDIT: In Icewm I fixed the problem, just gave the tray apps some more time to load, (Hmmmmmm,is that a fix?) Anyway, works ok, edited /root/.icewm/startup
and

Still buggy though. I'll reupload the 'wakeclock.sh' file with increased distance on the cursor movement parameter because if you use Pwidgets GUI and leave the cursor on 'Apply' the deviation is not enough to find the desktop, which seems to be necessary. Still other bugs too, a little instability, may need to end the process somehow, (I don't know how). I thought being just a short movement and a single click that the process would die a natural death. See how we go
EDIT: Changed the sleep value from 5 to 3 and delayed the click by 1 second, things seem more stable, BTW,most of the instability is in Icewm, Jwm has been playing nice,

Ok guys I finally downloaded Pwidgets and had a play for a few minutes, Does anyone know how to get the grayish dark background removed from the docklet? I just want it to be transparent . Also when I use the analog clock I have to click on the space where it should be, to start it/show it, shouldn't it be automatic once Its set?
Thanks for your help

I have not tested it in icewm. It seems that icewm renders desktop slower than jwm. This prevent widgets to use the correct background when making itself a fake transparent background. Since conky updates the widgets after a given time, they go transparent at next update.
Please try to increase the sleep value in /usr/sbin/fixwidgets.
The analog clock issue is almost fixed (by 01micko), and will be in the next release.

there is a voice activated function built in
ttuuxxx: read my script, that is what the clock thingy was all about with the click problem.
Rendering of the analog clock in Icewm may (or may not) be due to time settings of your tray apps. I have it working beautifully in Icewm (one of your themes ttuuxxx). Perhaps it is the size is as to your settings of desktop size. Zigbert mentioned about this in the original post, and also that his testing is in jwm. I have been testing, (and working hard at it) in Icewm and jwm with the Analog-clock. Hope this helps
EDIT: ttuuxxx, Zigbert has not included my fix for the analog-clock yet in the main post because it is still at Pwidgets-0.1. Try my fix further back in this thread. Give me feedback please.

It is not recommended to throw your PC out the window (UNLESS it has windows, lol) if the clapping does not work!
