No problem. The firmware compressed package was originally provided by Tempestuous. I only made pet of it. You should add the url link for supported chips, which I posted. People get from that link the understanding for whom those firmwares are needed.

The date48.png in /usr/local/lib/X11/themes/Trinity is a 24-pixel image, and looks very small when linked to "Plan" on the JWM desktop.

Radky, and others. What do you think this replacement for JWM-Pinboard.
Edit. Blue Step Humanity still has the problem. Originally I needed the change because e17 needed better icon, the original was only black patch.
Oh well, it needs more investigation. I dont like tempering with icons used with several instances, but these are the mandatory ones for e17.
Maybe I change e17 to the Openbox-Fbpanel and make link to the Dave S great tuning thread.

Dave's Openbox-Fbpanel Desktop works great in Dpup Exprimo.

That's good news.
pemasu, I would now make the bold suggestion that you remove the proprietary broadcom_sta driver driver from the first post, so that all users of modern Broadcom wifi devices will then have only one option - the brcm80211 drivers. I have several reasons:
i) for consistency and to avoid confusion - you don't want users reporting Broadcom wifi errors and getting confused about which driver is actually being used. They might not understand the difference, and inadvertently report wrong information.
ii) the proprietary driver will continue to conflict with the underlying ssb driver, and potentially cause problems with other hardware that depends on the ssb driver - such as USB interfaces.
iii) we should be encouraging the use of opensource drivers, whenever possible.
I suggest you add the brcm-firmware to future releases.

Tempestuous. I will do as you suggested. Straight logic behind your reasoning.

only error found so far is when connecting a usb storage device then maybe 12 gtkdialog idrive pannels appear repeating some of the drives. upon disconnecting 3 duplicate gtkdialog boxes appear showing idrive pannel with current available drives.

Yeah, Idrive panel has been put in so that people can test it with e17. It has showed that it is not overly compliant under e17.

Indeed even in 5X6 I saw already that there are multiple gtk and I drivepanel processes.
