i don't think i've seen that plugin. is it built into pwidgets in 4.21? if not, where can i get it?

side note: i will post a link on wednesday to download a .tar with the pwidgets clock skins folder so that u don't have to rip it out of gdesklets.

That slideshow widget was in pwidgets pet I installed, look again in left pane where all available widgets are.

Hello

Hondasid,

The slideshow is now separate from the main pwidgets. There is a .pet called pwidgets extras available from the first page in the Pwidgets thread. It includes the TV widget too plus extra clockskins.

Cheers

thanx micko, i got it. i have since installed pwidgets in FluxPup, this will make a great addition to what little bit is on the desktop. Thanx. Uploading the 200+ clockskins tomorrow.

I guess we're posting gauges backgrounds here too? Are they going to be themeable from pwidgets gui?

[01micko]

Hi Dejan

They are not themeable as yet in Pwidgets gui but that support will be added at some stage.

Keep 'em coming

Cheers

Mick

Here's new clockskin

[bones01]

There's some cool clock skins here, but I need something else. The battery & space widgets on my screen are bright green and I can't work out how to change that without changing the whole theme. I'm pretty happy with everything else.

Is it possible to change the code for separate sections?

If so, where do I find it?

Cheers

Bones.

Yes you can change it in config files I assume, click on the widget in pwidgets dialog then File -> Show widget config files, you can set colors there

[01micko]

Hi bones,

Another thing you can do is make your own theme. It's not too hard. Look in /root/.pwidgets/themes and use one of the existing ones as a template. Once you make your theme, pwidgets will automatically detect it and you can use it. Neat eh?

Don't forget to share you new theme!

By the way, I think there are themes in there where the battery and space widgets are not green, try the "Peru" theme in the plugins>>themes tab.

....And remember that you can make a unique theme for each widget. Normally, the theme-file has the name 'main'. If you also make a 'Battery' theme, this one will work only for the Battery widget.

thanks Micko & zigbert. thanks for your suggestions. I've been able to eventually change the colours, so they look a bit better, but not sure how to make a complete theme.

Is it just a matter of saving the 'main' file as another name?
