Just installed pWidgets 2.5.3 in Slacko 5.9.3.

Had to reset permissions on /root/.pwidgets/pwidgets-exec, /root/.pwidgets/pwidgets-exec_conky and /root/.pwidgets/pwidgets-exec_xonclock to get it working.

Will do some configuring later, have to go now.

Thanks Zigbert for resurrecting pWidgets. Its a great app! :D

Using Slacko 5.7 full install.

Pwidgets 2.5.3

This is what I see on next boot after setting up Pwidgets.
A black background around Pwidgets.

I think this has something to do with when Pwidgets starts.
Slacko 5.7 goes to a black screen just before the desktop appears.
I think Pwidgets starts up while the black screen is visible and picks it up as the desktop background.

Maybe a start time delay in Pwidgets would fix this?
Maybe a start delay setting in the root/startup/0_show_widgets?

Works for me. :D I saw the problem but liked the black background.

That time delay solved the problem for me too.
The normal desktop appears and after a small delay a normal looking Pwidgets appears.

pwidgets 2,5.2 through 2.5.4 seem to install correctly in ovprecise on a bootable USB drive.

however .pwidgets is NOT written to /mnt/home.

Versions 2.5.1 and lower write the .pwidgets folder to /mnt/home

I checked the install script and the install directory of 2.5.1 and 2.5.4.
I can not see any difference.

I don't know the different installation modes of Puppy, but the .pwidgets directory should install itself to $HOME (/root/), - not /mnt/home
Do you have any other observations?
Are you running 32/64 bit?

I'm sorry...my error....the previous versions install to /root .... the latest versions do not.

I am using 32 bit on a bootable USB drive with a FAT format

Please check if 2.5.5 works for you. I can not reproduce the described error, but installation is fixed, so I wonder if this also solves your issue?
