It actually also corrects some desktop icon degradation reported for slacko 6 in some cases!

It would be very helpful with more feedback, both positive and negative.ASRI éducation wrote:I'm surprised not to see more user reviews.
The creation of Zigbert is full of interesting news.
I encourage users to test, criticize, suggest improvements.
Regards,
Maybe I didn't understand the concept completely and I could only test in Precise 5.6 and Slacko5.6, but what it did is that it destroyed my desktop settings thoroughly. All my shortcuts., menus, tray customization are gone. I now have an (almost empty) pinboard and hard to read fonts. In Precise I was left without a functioning main menu, in Slacko at least Alt+F1 still works.zigbert wrote:It would be very helpful with more feedback, both positive and negative.
Yes, I'm aware of your main post. That's why I mentioned my test environment. I understand that some features don't work in older Puppies, but my concern was more about the concept, not single features, i.e. the potential damage for an existing installation. Does this mean that the PET does not overwrite JWM's personal setting files in Slacko 6 during installation?zigbert wrote:Please test on Slacko 6 - it won't work on older Puppies.

Can not see this behavior in Slacko, maybe Tahr specific (sound strange). I am downloading TahrPup...mavrothal wrote:Tried the latest on Tahr RC and is almost OK.
One thing wrong is that "activate menu by mouse click" does not show the main menu but the last 2 lines (Leave and Help).
Shouldn't be hard to addmavrothal wrote:Another thing that may be handy is to modify the install script to save the current pinboard so the user may reinstate it without any hassle (Micko's original was doing this).
In Tahr for example you have quickpet that is not "puppy standard".

Same older version with my precise-cezigbert wrote:TahrPup is using an older xdg generator.

This is the reason for TahrPup to fail setting the height of the menuitems using /usr/sbin/menumanager or /usr/local/jwm_config/menu
Please let us know how it works...ASRI éducation wrote:Same older version with my precise-cezigbert wrote:TahrPup is using an older xdg generator.
