[SOLVED] 4.2.1rc3

This is for bugs in a version of Puppy 4.x that is still under development. If you have bugs for a released version of Puppy, please post them in the forum's main Bugs section, not here. Bugs are when a program does not function as intended. Usability issues are not bugs.

[SOLVED] 4.2.1rc3

#1 Post by SouthPaws »

Weather widget graphically cuts off (obscures) the top of the widget below it when it's moved up.

I can confirm that behaviour, even in the latest 2.08 version of Pwidgets. I miss my Pet crab on the desktop but weather takes precedence.

I had the same problem and discovered that if the global font setting is 90 or below that the problem goes away. Global font setting of 96 and above apparently cause the problem. Exact setting probably depends on monitor resolution.

Monitor Resolution

Sylvander, what resolution are you running?

I mostly use 1024x768.

My bad that one :oops:

I suggested to Sigmund to reduce the height of the weather widget to 85 (see /root/.pwidgets/configs, open in text editor, edit line 16, HEIGHT=85 to HEIGHT=100). It is a result of the newish plugin for the weather widget allowing easier insertion of your weather code.

We will fix it for the next release.

It does depend on which widget you place after the weather widget too, (however it shouldn't)
