Hi,

Desktop Global Theme Profile is renamed to Theme Pack Manager
Version 1.8 is compatible with std jwm puppies and ptheme (like slacko 6.3) dependency pGtkthemerefresh from here

I have been thinking for a long time that in puppy, we use 4 different apps to change theme. Well, now you don't have to.

1. Create and save a profiles
2. Load Saved profile

Note: wallpaper will be set in accordance with current mode (what you set in wallpaper setter: centre, scale, streched)

How cool is that ?

Enjoy

Version 1.7.2: Bugfix creating base dir for pet at first run
Version 1.7.1; bugfix wallpaper list
Version 1.7 : replace ls with find when listing walpapers
Version 1.6 : Registers current applied wallpaper to $HOME/.config/walpaper/bg_img, delete dir after make pet
Version 1.5 : add notification/warning when make pet Note: delete pet dir first if you repeat making pet with same name
Version 1.4 : Bugfix remove profile, add make pet function in $home/makei-pet dir (share your theme profile)

New version, renamed to Desktop Global Theme Profile 1.3
Dependency: pGtkthemerefresh from here
please install pGtkthemerefresh to use new version

Updated to v 1.2-2 - Bugfix , now really compatible with pwidgets (only if availabel) users - UNINSTALL PREVIOUS VERSION FIRST!
Updated to v 1.2 Deals with GTK & JWM themes plus Wallpaper and desktop icons - was pet up in 4.3 pre-beta, so it's having std database
Updated to v 1.1 - Remove function added[/color]

Ziggy bling master,

Very Happy

to you too. You tried it? How's it? Don't know why but I feel happy especially after creating this app, I think puppy really needs to simplified the app duplication or scattered apps. More of app like this is good (in 421 we have puppy setup and pcp! Even the control panel is duplicated)

Anyway, that's my opinion, my goal is always to make new users comfortable in experiencing puppy without having to touch terminal.

Thanks for informing me of this (trio kindly sent me a message that it it was ready) Cool

I suddenly realised that 'Desktop themes' and 'Program themes' are what are being changed in both the original and this program and maybe a name change to that effect would be beneficial and simplify in both the original and this new format?

Good to see your coding skills develop. Cool

@Lobster

Yes, please simplify puppy..more new user friendly

@gposil

Yes, please. PetStore is also one way to make life easier for new users. we should be thinking about putting these alien pets repos in default seamonkey's bookmarks

looks very nice and simple, will test it soon.

only one point to mention:
using this app (as a replacement) is very nice but only if you have jwm as one and only wm. if you do have more than one wm (e.g. 4.21) than the mixing of general (gtk-theme) and special (jwm-theme) settings might be more confusing than simplifying.
