I've been trying the latest Pwidgets and it seems more stable in my installs now. It doesn't stop anymore when I restart or reboot, only when I stop it manually. The colour themes issue I mentioned above remains, but all plugins work. It gives a nice touch to my desktop, especially used with Openbox:

Apologies if this has been mentioned before.
I cant seem to get the cpu bar to show in the latest Slacko5.4.

Not sure if that number 7 is meant to be there, but I thought you may want to know. A user has reported something similar with the weather plugins:

Hey - That mysterious "7" is an orphaned character in the configuration file for the pmusic widget.

Just click "pmusic" on the left side, and then file-->show widget(s) config file, and you will see the number 7 kicking about on the first line of the last section like this:

Hello,
I installed Pwidgets 2.4.1 running Puppy Precise 5.4.3 and this is what I get (see picture): calendar doesn't show days of the month anymore. Tried a previous release ( 2.3.8 ): same thing! This didn't happen running Racy 5.3 rand Precise 5.4.1.

How could this be solved?
Thank you!

Cordialement.

Am also getting the same problem with the calendar on precise 543 , and the CPU bar does not work , the Cpu graph and Cpu gauge are ok but not the Cpu bar.

G'day,

My pwidget calendar has also decided it's now a one-day-a-month (the actual day number is displayed but nothing else in the now blank calendar space).

Regarding the CPU widget, I've combined the RAM bar and the two CPU bars with the Puppy Space widget by adding (copying) the display lines for the RAM and CPU bars (from their configuation files) to the end of the Puppy_space widget config file - so one widget shows four bars (RAM/drive space, RAM in use, then CPU usages):

Confirmed -- fresh Pwidgets install in fresh Precise 5.4.3 frugal install, the calendar widget is playing hide-and-seek, Laughing

it shows the current date only, none of the other days or the days and month are displayed. This didn't happen in Precise 5.4.2, so I wonder what did I do to get this bug? Other widgets run fine.

Weather Module:

Pwidgets-2.4.1

Everything in Pwidgets works fine for me except... the 'Weather Module' disappears from desktop after an Internet session. Only way to get it back is re-load the Pwidgets program.

My question: Does anyone know if this is a Pwidgets fault or a wolf fault as it happens with all the newer puppy's... and... is there a fix for it?

(I mentioned this problem over in the Upup-Precise forum also)

'Thanks'
