I saw that method in jaunty.
But, Very Happy

never mind, because the time required to load module in puppy isn't that long.
So, I can left this thing behind and maybe work with other gfxmenu message.

thanks for all your support

OK...I just could not leave it... it's because my curiosity about splash image during boot in puppy.
After a lot of read, there are several ways to do it. I only try bootsplash and splashy.

On bootsplash, it should need to recompile the kernel, since i messed up with .config, after several times trying to figure it out. I gave up.

But there's a simple way to have bootsplash in your box , and i almost there to play with it. With splashy, there's no need to recompile the kernel. Now, i don't have a text running during booting, but neither the splash image too, i think it's because the themes for bootscreen or the lib for jpeg and/or png. I wish i have a lot of time to fix this.

Hi

Thought it was about time that i posted a new message file, so here it is.

Basically i took the default wallpapers from Puppy versions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 4.31 (left to right)
put them into the GIMP, gave it a good shake and ended up with this. Rolling Eyes

Failed. Very Happy

Hi CatDude & All, Smile

Okie-dokie now... I must assuredly be missing something here I'm almost sure of it, or there's something this one failing grey cell of mine I call a "brain" can't seem to understand somewhere - so perhaps CatDude et al might help me out?

How do I go about opening up these .gz files so as to get the images out like Trap did that I, too, can use them as wallpapers? Both the "Metal-Nipper" and "Pup-pup" would look awesome on some of my frugally-installed Puppy desktops here - and that "Forest Road" would just plain look fantastic in any distro for a wallpaper! Shocked

Truly a breath-taking photo vellowax... reminds me of lazy summer afternoons walking in the deep Maine forests with my Grandfather - the most special person in my life. Smile

Thanks for any pointers in opening these .gz files guys.

( Sidenote: BTW, I tried using the "cpio -iv <" command in CLI since ROX told me they were cpio files once the .gz was removed but nothing worked. sorry! )

Hello Eyes-Only

OH!! Thank you so very much CatDude!! You've really made my day mate! -dancing!- Very Happy

I've taken "Pup-Pup" and used that on my default Puppy ( HDD install 4.2.1 ) and with the "Azenis-Red" theme all the way around it looks nothing short of spectacular! In fact, when my nurse was here today she couldn't take her eyes off the computer's desktop, nor could she stop commenting upon how truly fantastic it looked! And my "Best Buddy" ( grandson ) is just wild over it of course! Very Happy

...But wait until he sees "Nipper" on yet another Puppy desktop later on this evening!

Now as for the "glasses/specs": I've got seven or eight pairs kicking around here in the desk drawer. May as well send two or three your way as none of them work for me mate! - not even the pair sitting on my nose now! LOL!

Thank you so much once again my friend! May Blessings rain upon you and never cease!

Amicalement/Cheers!

Any chance that "wesuckmore" could be posted as a Wall Paper file in its normal size of 1024 by768. It would be great for my computer at work. It would help the management to understand the issue.

I read CatDude post on using cpio. It did worked. Thanks for the great pictures. Now, to hear that some one wants to talk to me.
