Ugh, ok, I give up: how do I get Drive Space to kick and show me my drive spaces? I've got pwidgets running on Puppy 52. right now it shows that drive space is one of the widgets I selected (Space_drives) but it doesn't list even my home drive. What am I missing?

I don't know Conky very well, so I can't explain the output not related to my pwidgets code.

ext4 frugal-install to USB flash drive Lucid 5.28 with Pwidgets 2.3.7:

Temp_cpu displays cpu temperature, but fan always shows "On" regardless of cpu temperature. What can I do? Puppy Google Search hasn't come up with anything that works for me.

Hi ziggy,

I just loaded pwidgets after a long time away. I'm using Puppy 5.2.9

There appears to be a couple of issues with my install.

Extra menu items:-
Under 'File' there's two 'Saves' and two 'Preferences' entries


Using 'Stop' to close the pwidgets , it will then not restart no matter what I do.

Theme keeps changing back to default if pwidgets window opened and nothing done.

After all this time you would think I would know how to fix them

Hello Rob, Long time.....

I will add your marks to the todo-list.

Great job zigbert. Pwidgets gives my desktop a 'professional' look

I have a suggestion. Can we use gtkdialog3 instead of conky to draw widgets? The advantage will be that widgets will be able to respond to mouse.

A window can be pasted to the desktop using this:

G'day zigbert,
Just a few things that are not quite right for me with the latest Pwidgets:

1) Edit>File>Show widget config file(s) is mis-typed as a second "Preferences" line in the Menu

2) Cpu_bar fails when added to the displayed widgets - the lines after "TEXT" disappear from the config file although the lines are there initially. I fix this by adding lines from an earlier Pwidgets to the Cpu_bar config file - I also add the RAM status to the bar display:

TEXT
${color0}R A M ${color5}${membar 10,110}
${color0}CPU 1 ${color3} ${cpubar cpu1 10,105}
${color0}CPU 2 ${color6} ${cpubar cpu2 10,105}

Although, more logically, the RAM could be included into the Space_Puppy_filesystem widget?

3) Weather widget - setting up my home location is OK but the dialog box could include a "Finished" or "Done" or "Close" button once the new location has been applied. The box just sits there until I close it by hitting the top right "X".

4) Weather widget - I get "A" with an accent above it between the temperature and the "C" for Celsius. Earlier Pwidgets were OK giving me the small superscript "o".
