Re: Abby IceWM Theme

Ah must learn to read - downloaded because I liked the look of desktop icons. Works and looks fine. The font is a little small for my resolution but that can be changed manually (forget how though)

Well done. ;)

Downloaded the Abby theme and like it too (especially the wallpaper). Thanks.

I've got some icons, see if you like it (some of them are .ico files unlike the usual .png or .xpm ones but they works fine here):

Start-Items DotPup

#203 Post by dvw86 »

Well it has been down loaded a few times and nobody has complained of bugs so I decided to go ahead and post it here.

This is a Rox-App I wrote to make it easier to automate tasks at boot time. You can use it to start applications, run scripts, open a directory in Rox, or open files in their default application. I use this to auto start MUT. The Rox-App should work in any window manager. I have tested it in IceWM, Fvwm95, and Jwm. This is my first release but I am not aware of any bugs. Warning this does replace your /root/.xinitrc file. I have not had any issues from replacing it, but if you have modified yours, you may want to make a back up of it.

Abby Icons

#204 Post by dvw86 »

For those of you who like the icons in the Abby screen shot. I got these off of Knoppix. They are availiable in other sizes as well, but as GuestToo pointed out, Ice can resize them automatically. It's a good sized down load, 1.3M.

Do we decompress these to a particular directory?
Do they replace existing icons or must we set this manually?
(ROX has a set icon option)

These are just the icons. You can put them where ever you want and you have to set them manually. One of these days I'll make a Puppy ISO with everything already set how I like it (icons, themes, apps...). Then you could just download it, burn it, and boot up in my idea of a perfect OS :wink: Maybe I'll call it Abby.

Look forward to Abbey Puplet
:)
I tend to start from scratch with each new Puppy release (it cleans out the accumulated experimentation
I would like to see a more friendly icon set as the default BUT I accept customisation is a low priority for official Puppys
:cry:

Simple-Trash DotPup

#208 Post by dvw86 »

Okay, I've been meaning to get to this for a while now. This is a simplified version of "Complete-Trash" It is functionally the same. However it does not play any sound file nor does it automatically refresh the pinboard (icons). You have to mouse over the Trash icon for it to update. These changes make it more suitable for older and slower hardware. It is also a much smaller download.
EDIT
Applied Puppian's "Complete-Trash" fix to the "Simple-Trash" application since it was only three little lines of code and works well on old hardware. Now the trash icon will refresh itself. The sound file is still not included. Basically it is now the same as the full version of trash, but with out any sound or the accompanying code.

dvw86, I have been playing with your trash for sometimes and found a trick to refresh the icon automatically without redrawing the pinboard:

"rox -x $APPDIR"
OR
"rox -x /root/my-applications/bin/Trash"
replacing "rox -o -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin"

hope it helps :)

Icewm Menu for Puppy 1.0.4

some menu items in the menu won't work because they are not actually installed

there may be errors in the menu

your old menu should be backed up to menu-104.BAK (that is, it was saved by Puppy 1.0.4)

i uploaded a new version of Dillo 8.5 patched
i changed the name of the config file to dillorc85p
i think dillocfg should work properly with dillo85p
and i put Configure Dillo in the context menu (when you right click the Dillo icon)

unrpm with standard rpm2cpio, for extracting rpm files

#216 Post by GuestToo »

unrpm with standard rpm2cpio

this uses the standard rpm2cpio binary instead of Busybox

the Busybox rpm2cpio sometimes does not work, giving an error message about wrong magic

basically, to extract the files in an rpm file,
type unrpm file.rpm

if you move the rpm file to an empty dir first,
it's easier to see what files were extracted

the undeb/unrpm package does not need to be uninstalled first
if the undeb/unrpm package is installed later, it will overwrite this package, and unrpm will use Busybox again

[edit: ver 0.0.2 - added a missing symlink]

i think Puppy is missing a symlink to libbz2.so.1.0
so i added a symlink to my unrpm-full dotpup package and uploaded it again ... ver 0.0.2 should work

Spacereplace version 1.1

#220 Post by Bruce B »

Spacereplace.pup by Bruce B July 25, 2005

Spacereplace version 1.1 updated also on July 25, 2005

Homepage: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/15601.html

Many Linux programs don't use spaces in file names very well. Sometimes we
receive files from Windows users that have spaces in them. This command line
utility replaces spaces in filenames with underscores.

-----------------------

Spacereplace.pup installs these files:

/root/my-applications/bin/spacereplace (script file)
/root/my-applications/bin/rename (binary file)
/root/my-documents/spacereplaceREADME.txt (text file)

No other changes made.


-----------------------

Help for spacereplace

spacereplace version 1.0.1 - written by Richard van Kampen
Tool to substitute spaces in file and directory names with underscores.

Usage: spacereplace [option] [PATH]

List of options:

-h or --help : show help.
-r : recursive. Also commit changes to all sub-directories.

You have to specify the path to the directory you want to process. Not
specifying a path will just display help

Example: 'spacereplace -r /home/richard/mp3' changes all spaces to
underscores in /home/richard/mp3 and all directories below /home/richard/mp3.

---------------------

TIP by Bruce

If you cd to the directory you want to process you can enter this command:

# spacereplace .

To recurse the subdirectories:

# spacerplace -r .


Enjoy!
