Update; I've now installed a few icon sets and decided the tok-tok sets are my favourites so far (narrowly, over Buttonized). Here's my desktop, with the tok-tok dark icon set;

Just a quick note, as I've just come across trio's sfs converter, which I thought people here might find useful
- convert sfs3>4 and sfs4>3

Thanks for this link. I like Opera and am looking forward to trying this (I'm posting from Vector at the moment).

Hi guys I came across a chat client that uses the fox toolkit, so I compiled the Fox toolkit statically and compiled the chat app, so basically you don't need the toolkit install to run the app.
I also configured the fonts, background and I have it set automatically to log into the #1puppylinux
Its kind of like xchat but has smileys, sounds, flags etc lots of graphics.
Its too big to go into the 2.14X release as default, but still something to play with

here's goggles dvd player, I haven't tested it yet but should work. Its actually probably the best dvd player on the market for low resource pc's
"Note this is a static fox toolkit version", you don't need fox toolkit installed to work

I tried to compile Goggles Music Manager and when I did it worked fine but it had no Icons, so I looked at jemimah Static version she compiled, and that installed but needed a system link, This music manager is probably the best music manager going. just drag and drop your cd music files etc, it just works nicely.

I've been building the next release for the past 2 days, most people that would be like a week, lol well around 20hrs the first day and by the time I'm done today it will be close again, lol
why do you? you may wonder, do I spend so much time on it? Simple Its been a uphill battle, I had a lot of issues with Glib, GTK, GDK-Pixbuf, I would fix one issue and then another would happen, When I compiled the latest gtk2 about a month ago, it was 2 versions outdated, and compiled very easy compared to this.
But This time around I wanted to have the base ready for GTK3 where as the one I compiled a month ago would of been slightly outdated. Its kind of addictive to sort out all these issues and continue on with the build. I just finished compiling gtk3, It shouldn't add much weight because I used all the latest backend for gtk3 when I built gtk2, so it actually needed no extra deps, how good is that?
I'm only a bit worried about GDK-Pixbuf when I would use the new2dir script I would get an error and gtk2 wouldn't compile right, the png loader would fail, but if I used make install without the new2dir script it worked. So I guess I'll find-out when I test it.
I did a test and compressed the new GTK3 into a sfs, the end result was an additional 1.7MB to the iso, I don't think we can complain with that, just as long as everything works, lol

I always keep an empty partition ready for the next new release.......

good to hear James always count on you This gdk-pixbuf thing is messing everything up, ever xarchiver or fileroller won't start and when I run it via a terminal it complains about gtk/pixbuf grrr this indeed is going to be a tough battle.
