Hello Puppies users !

I give you today LXDE packages used in CheckMate version without themes and appearance, only applications separated so that you can choose.
That's why you can get an ugly desktop at the beginning, but do not be afraid ! Laughing

I put so much time because of some dependencies and other projects ... Confused

They are working with Slacko, Precise beta 3 & other, but not old Puppies.

Do not hesitate to report bugs! Wink

Enjoy !

Bravo Jejy! Laughing

Does PcManFM install as default? Or does ROX-Filer retain default status?
Actually, I always use Openbox, Obconf and Lxpanel only, but I like to experiment. Wink

Merci beaucoup Very Happy

No, Rox is always the default FileManager.
But PCmanFm'll be the default filer during the Lxde session. Smile

Merci Vicmz Smile

Jejy69,

Can you let us know which pup you compiled these handy apps in?
Thanks in advance. You're doing fantastic work.

Hello Tman,

Packages have been compiled with Slacko, and some adapted from a slackware repo for Puppy. Smile

Can You add country flag icons to the layout keyboard switch, just like in lubuntu or any other LXDE distro. Layout keyboard switch is plugin item in panel preferences (will be great if You can make patch for this) Some distros also include weather plugin. Exept this desktop looks perfect, I just did full install and I like it more then Lubuntu I used earlier. I did not tested everything but if I find any problems I let You know

Hi Jejy!

I fully agree with Tman above there!

`f00 · lxpanel menu in racy 5.3.90 with comment popup

(from testing in racy 5.3.90)

Compared to latest precise (5.3.95 aka beta7), menu compatibility is much better in racy with particular regard to lxpanel's menu plugin augmented by an lx-appearance.menu along with the others in /etc/xdg/menus dir. Structure is closer in racy, enabling a more familiar 'puppy' look with inline limits and so on if a branchout is desired.

A nice feature of the lxpanel menu is that comment lines in the individual dotdesktop entries show as popups when hovered on the menu - this can be used with shorter, non-wordy entry names for a less 'sprawling' menu that still has the same or better comprehension of what the app does for users unfamiliar with the variety offered.

Not as skinny as a template but it pretty much auto-updates on-the-fly without any fuss Smile

I tested your pcmanfm pets in precise. When I open pcmanfm I get an ungly window without any icons, and I can't mount drives from the file manager. That's using openbox in precise, trying all of the pets from this page and starting lxde gives the same result. I also tried installing from the ppm and had the same result. Everytime I tested was in a clean session. How can I get pcmanfm to work as expected in precise?

I am using this in Slacko 5.4 and it is working nicely. I had to add the gnome-icon theme. I have no panel, just a blank desktop with default Slacko wallpaper with my programs in the quick launch bar (all by my choice). I would like to try Pcmanfm 1.1.0. Three lxde programs show up in the Utility Menu: Look and Feel, Preferred Applications, and PCmanfm.,

Pcmanfm depends on the rest of lxde for some of its function--for instance if started by itself it does not offer the working trash/recycle bin--to get that I must start "xwin startlxde.".
