Yes, thank-you, this is just what I wanted. I've been making changes, trying things out. Just what my Wary install needed to spruce it up.

Thanks again!

Thanks for packaging this, great to see good Openbox support on Puppy.

new version 1.1.2
lxpanel bug fixed by 01micko (lxpanelctl breaks the panel when reloading in transparent mode).

I was unable to update the fat version, still no broadband spot available for me. Downloading or uploading files heavier than 10 MB overheats the battery of my phone and is a difficult task on a very slow connection.

Hi vicmz,

I use Jejy69"s Lxpup Slacko 13 (LXDE / KDE).and was wondering could I add your Openbox PET but skip the Lxpanel? This puppy has its own LXDE/MATE/KDE/XFCE panel built-in. Or is it better to load your Openbox PET on a seperate Slacko save file?

Does the Openbox work with well with another file manager besides ROX?

Se puede agregar tu PET de Openbox a Lxpup Slacko 13 (LXDE/KDE) de Jely69 sin el Lxpanel? Ese Puppy ya tiene uno con LXDE/MATE/KDE/XFCE integrado. O es mejor hacer un SFS seperado con solo tu Openbox?

Trabja bien el Openbox con otro file system aparte de ROX?

Saludos!

Hola natgab
Qué bonito escribes en español

file manager = gestor de archivos
file system = sistema de archivos

The first thing you get when you install openbox_plus_extras.pet is the Panel Chooser, if you already have a panel installed you can simply click the 'close' button and continue, or if you have a pet for a panel that is not included in the package, you can install that pet then click on 'close' and continue.

vicmz,

I downloaded the Openbox+Extras Fat Edition, and installed to my Lxpuppy 13 install. I chose Tint2 and did not install LXpanel. It gave me the Window Manager changer ( KDE / Openbox ), but it left me stuck in Openbox.

It also did not seem to work correctly, it would not allow wallpaper changer to work. It also did not show the applications installed from the other WM, just what was included with the Openbox PET. I will just go back to my old version and then try Openbox on a clean copy of Slacko 5.4 I want to play around with Openbox too!

natgab,

Please have in mind that this Openbox support is a minimalistic alternative for Puppy versions that haven't got Openbox or the full LXDE installed. Openbox and Lxpanel and PCManFM (the latter not included in the packages offered in this thread) are part of LXDE, so you don't actually need to install openbox_plus_extras if you already have LXDE (for example in Lxpup). As far as Tint2 is concerned, it works just for Slacko and Precise, you may have problems or not see it at all in Puppy derivatives since they're heavily modified versions of Puppy. The Tint2 panel offered in openbox_plus_extras doesn't work for Wary/Racy either, it needs some weird dependencies.



By the way, I'm now working more hours, so at the moment I haven't got enough time to build packages. I also have sight problems, that's why I'm in front of my computer less frequently. Hopefully I'll feel better, and have more time, by mid-April.
