I've got a 500Mhz Celeron PC and 1.6Ghz Pentium PC and both require I press the "OFF" button after they "Shutdown". Personally I can live with that hopefully you can too.The other problem is that logout --> reboot drops me to a text window with a # prompt and typing reboot is what is required to actually do it.
No worries. I'll post those spelling / typing errors when I'm back on my own machine, they're not too serious anyway. Unfortunately I don't have broadband so can only get online from a public internet facility or from home at local call rates (i.e. very expensive, so I have to ration it).john biles wrote:Hello Colonel Panic,
I hate spelling mistakes and look over and over everything trying to make sure none get through. Please list the 2 you found Please!
As for the Dark Look theme and changing it. Some Users didn't like that I had made TEENpup 2009 Legacy Vista-ist looking and for other reasons I decided I wanted to give Legacy OS its own look. Many hours where spent experimenting with the KDE theme look until I got what I was happy with. Make an change to a color here also changed a color somewhere else I didn't want changed, drove me crazy. Once that was worked out had to change the GTK theme to match and that too had it quirks. some backgrounds and icons in different apps had to be changed as they suited a light environment. So changing Legacy OS look is more than just replacing the GTK theme in /usr/share/themes and the KDE theme in /opt/kde/share/apps/kdisplay/color-schemes/
With this in mind I don't give any options in the menu to change themes, I'm doing an Apple and only suppling just the default theme, Sorry!
reason's simple; it's free and I don't have a fix for you sorry!I could live with it but see no reason why I should.
puppies are made by average user's who give large amounts of time FREE to create these for those who can use them. We do the best we can.Too many puppies around for that.
Here are the ones I found from the menu; in each case I've put the word I think is wrong on the left of the "arrow" (===>) and what I think it should be on the right. They aren't too bad.Colonel Panic wrote:No worries. I'll post those spelling / typing errors when I'm back on my own machine, they're not too serious anyway.

CP .
You're welcome. I've seen one more since that post, only a small one. There's a stray apostrophe just off the "Burning" menu (second submenu I believe);john biles wrote:Hello Colonel Panic,
Thank you for your list. We fix in next release or come up with a tar.gz users can unzip.
Although its been awhile since I've used puppy I usually found that when using pidgin it was always best to load the 2 components...sullysat wrote:Pidgin is a great list, but its also a little cranky to install on puppy.

I wonder if we could use the devx file from ttuuxxx's 2.14x (if he put 1 togetherI don't know how much luck you will have as Legacy OS uses glibc 2.5 from Puppy 3.0 like ttuuxxx's 2.14x does. john biles
) so that those of us that wished to attempt insanity by compiling things for legacy os that we think we may want or might do for pure experimental purposes could do so.. just had a funny thought raflmao (or maybe it would be easier to temp/con ttuuxxx into doing something similar to what he did with FireFox 1.5 seriously modified, think he named it firepup?? cretsiah imagining ttuuxxx modifying a series 1 Open Office (ram requirement unsure but probably not more than 64meg) with Open Office 3 (128meg ram requirement) file format inclusions)
