I had the time lately to give Blinky the love it deserves, so I added some stuff and produced the 0.8 release Smile

v0.8 handles better the computer redrawing, has -v (or --version) command line argument, features an enhanced option window and forces it to open only once, and generally is a lot cooler Cool

.

Please upgrade Blinky to v0.8 in the next Puppy (1.0.9 / 109 / 200 or whatever name it shall get Laughing

), thanks!

lior2b Nice job!

Leon, Puppy 1.0.8 and Puppy 2 previews use Blinky 0.6 which doesn't have this feature... I'm glad you updated and got the wanted results Smile

Lobster thanks! It means that JWM will be in 1.0.9 too? If so, upgrading to the latest JWM should be on the list too! (I hope JWM 1.6 will be released soon)

There hasn't been an official resolution to the issue of which window manager will be used, but in order to make some progress we're moving forward with JWM. As of right now it's version 1.4 with Blinky 0.8 but JWM may get the upgrade as well. I've been rereading through a bunch of posts (many of Lior2b's) and working to improve the default configuration first.

I got a request, if Blinky can be used in Icewm-ultra.
It required only a slight modification, to run as "eggtrayicon" instead of as Gtkwindow.
This trayicon now can be used in all windowmanagers supporting trayicons (KDE, Fluxbox etc.).
Just 4 lines in blinky.c were changed.

Binary and source:
http://dotpups.de/diverse-tgz/Blinky-0.8-patched-trayicon.tgz

Extract for example to /root
Add this to your startupfiles (.xinitrc for other windowmanagers or /root/.icewm/startup for icewm-ultra):
/root/blinky-0.8-patched-trayicon/src/blinky &

To deactivate the inbuilt connection-status of icewm, edit /root/.icewm/preferences.

Replace
TaskBarShowNetStatus=1 # 0/1
with:
TaskBarShowNetStatus=0 # 0/1

--------------------
I compiled it in Puppy 2.10, tell me if it does not work in older ones, then I will recompile in Puppy 108.

The solution was to use Blinky 0.8 Smile

But presumably any recent puppies will already have it?
