I know that.
But I am using pemasu's debian puppy 5.X.1, which uses enlightment.
I am still discovering this, but other programs suffer from the same issue.
I just wanted to let the people reading here know that there can be issues.
Béèm,
Yes, some window managers do not put the icon in a tray unless it's minimized.
One workaround would be to "decorate" the window which would allow a minimize event. However, this would take away the appearance.
Sometimes it's hard to get everything

You're Idrivepanel pet has success in
Dpup Exprimo
pemasu, the developer, renamed it Idrivepanel-0.0.1.pet to match with woof requirements.
So it may end up in woof.
Others have downloaded and use it already.
I have a question however.
When one clicks on a desktop drive icon with a partition loaded it is displayed in rox.
When doing this in Idrivepanel a message pops up saying partition can't be unmounted. This is for mounted system partions only.
So it would be nice, if possible, that if such a partition is loaded that rox is called also.

Béèm,
I guess I'll have to check out Dpup Exprimo then...... (it seems like there are so many litters of pups lately
.
Idrivepanel was set up as a "toggle" -
click to mount and show filemanager or if mounted click to unmount.
If you would prefer a "click to mount and show filemanager" or "if mounted click to show another filemanger instance", that would be possible.

Thank you seaside.
I can live with the toggle principle and start filemanager separately.
So see for yourself if there are other reactions.
background issue

I have another quirk.
I clicked on sdb5 and rox opened, but as you can see, something is wrong with the background. Not easy to do a selection.
I have this in dpup exprimo, but also in other puppy's.
But if I use rox to open an already mounted partition and leave it open, all is normal including when I click to mount sdb5.
Background is ok then.

Béèm,
I suspect that this is a "theme" problem.
Try removing this code from Idrivepanel
Code: Select all
echo 'style "blackbg" {
bg[NORMAL] = "black"
fg[NORMAL] = "green"
}
class "*" style "blackbg"' > /tmp/gtkrc
export GTK2_RC_FILES=/tmp/gtkrc:/root/.gtkrc-2.0
and see whether that fixes it. Also I noticed that your example was in the "extra details" mode of Rox which usually has a slightly different theme as well.
Regards,
s

I receive the following error:

I am using a Slacko 5.6 derivative. Maybe I have a gtkdialog issue?

Phew. First time I've seen this. Really.
Aesthetically: very ugly.
On the practical side: extremely useless, if you consider that can do something more
precise and beautiful with a ROX-panel and a few transparent icons as spacers. No
coding required, either.
Also on the practical side: ROX-panels work with any wm, whereas this one works ok
only with jwm, it seems.
I know there was a lot of work involved in the creation of this, and these words are hurting
someone, but jeez... I'm becoming desperate about Puppyists ever seeing the bigger
picture: the world spreads out way beyond jwm, you know.
Sorry for being so frank.

Musher! Nonsense! JWM is the beginning and end of WMs. The bees knees! At least in Puppy.
