Hi

Getting some very strange behaviour

Pup_save file filling up very quickly with Seamonkey cache files and then when flushed - Puppy memory display still shows as nearly full (red warning)

After closing down and rebooting to Icewm - sticky notes start and cant be closed, so changed to Jwm.
Then blinky, asapm and sticky are no longer in tray but are minimised in top left of screen.

Changed back twice - still not able to close or use said offending items.

So will delete pup_save and start again.

Much muttering and festering.

However - Seamonkey much improved.

Best regards - Ray

Ok the latest 'HomeBank' is on the first page now, 46 icons I had to change from svg to png, and then I had to rename 46 icons, then I had to make 46 system links, But the end result was
svg=1588kb
png=180kb
The whole package 183kb pet Smile

9kb smaller than the older one in repo

I downloaded 4.2 alpha 3 yesterday, used Burniso2cd in my multisession 4.1.2 to burn it to a DVD+RW, then shut the computer down with the newly burned DVD in the drive. So far, it looks like all the settings and the programs I had installed in 4.1.2 were transferred to the 4.2 multisession DVD except NoScript for SeaMonkey, which I had to reinstall.

The analog clock and the calendar are a welcome addition. I found that I could drag the clock to a new location on the desktop. I wish everything could be dragged around the desktop like icons can.

Some of the icons on the left were a bit crowded when I booted the 4.2 DVD for the first time, and several icons on the right were partially beneath the analog clock. The 'drives' icons in the lower left corner overlapped each other, but were no trouble to separate by dragging apart. Everything stayed where I had dragged it when the multisession DVD was rebooted.

So far, Puppy 4.2 is a real winner!

Please put the stardust gtk-theme back in. It is a great eyecatcher and because it is so small. Better get rid of one of the clearlooks themes.

Ok guys here's The thing about clearlooks, Its more than a theme its a dependency by many programs like firefox, seamonkey, and will add stability to puppy if we keep themes, They look really nice and if you like say Stardust, etc. I'll convert them to clear looks to keep everything working smooth. OK Smile

Ps you can find a lot of clear looks themes located at
here
and if they don't work, just tell me which ones you like and I'll have a look at them and see what I can do.

To be clear.

I don't mean drop all of the clearlooks themes, drop only one or two and put back in zigberts stardust gtk-theme.

A few fixes required before it was posted would have helped. Sad

Just too buggy.

Changing themes wipes out tray is a bug that should have been cleared by now surely.

I have a top dropdown menu that has 5 icons and vertcal lines. Hovering over lines gives text hint for other items. I presume the icons are missing.

Having the drive icons all over the place is confusing. I deleted from choices but somehow screwed up the placement now.

Clock takes ages to appear whereas in previous alpha it started up no problem.

Sorry guys, could be better.
