XToys GUI with 6 toys

[runtt21]

Not going to work in e17.Sorry.


E has a extra module for penguins as well as fire,rain & snow . Each build of macpup has a .pet of extra modules. I don't know if dpup does.

found me a manpage here : http://derpi.tuwien.ac.at/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+xearth

Will take me some time to study it . And the earth is rotating, seems not to be tied to Perth; the middle is Moskwa, Mecca, Nairobi now; since nearly full moon here i think i get the idea about looking at the earth from that point of stand . : cool :


And for enlightenment i found that :

Here are some representative screenshots on FreeBSD 5.1 with the Enlightenment window manager and a few transparent aterms.

Not sure if it is e-16 or e-17 pictured there .

xplanet compiles nicely on my system but refuses to launch because of libjpeg62/80 mismatch on my system .

Hello,
... I do so love the desktop this way, sans icons, but fully functional, and actually, these toys changed my concept of a desktop.. Lupen is icon free, using cairo-dock, and 'right click' menus..
Icons suck!!!!!
Damn Windoze legacy we have to get away from, I say!!!!

I'm right with you there! Currently working from Tazoc's LH64_514 and desperate to replace icons with cairodock etc...can't seem to get Openbox dock working...sorry off-topic.
Haven't tried X-toys with it yet, but will do soon after sorting my new environment configs.
The remarkable fishtank background is a real revelation to me - I was reminded of my old wallpaper in Win98 where I used an HTML page, with an animated stick man continually banging his head against a wall... and then I found Puppy for that old machine, and the headbanging has stopped

Thank you for this !
It is working nicely in racy53 so I could not resist the temptation of internationalizing your GUI

Howto Create translation using momanager:

add /root/my-roxapps (that is where X-ToysGUI is located) to GETTEXTSCRIPTS in /usr/sbin/momanager; it is about line 133,
change it from
GETTEXTSCRIPTS="`find /bin /sbin /usr/bin .....
to
GETTEXTSCRIPTS="`find /root/my-roxapps /bin /sbin /usr/bin .....

When launching momanager you should find it in the frame "Scripts that do not have a mo file"

or

do NOT change momanager but copy above script to /root/my-applications/bin and momanager will find it.
