Not to blame anyone but when decided to use icewm's blinky and freememapplet 2 things happen:
1. blinky will not follow theme for background
2. the freememapplet still shows only part of what it supposed to show

so I made up a fix for any jwm users who wants it

thanks
Thats what I've been doing for the past 3 hours, look below also I have it restart with 'refresh Menus' so if blinky or freememory applet jumps off the taskbar, one click of 'refresh Menus' and it jumps back on Does your version do that also?

I use delay also for freememapplet, but it seems 2 secs is too long..so it will show up in taskbar for a split second then go to where it belongs...(when refresh menus & changing jwm theme)

I added a kill to the freshmenus for freememory, that makes it work better, Try that.

exec Xdialog --no-close --msgbox "Updating ..." 10 20 &
p=$!
killall freememapplet
/usr/sbin/fixmenus
/usr/sbin/menu-fix

I have been a fan of Puppy for some time and never ceased to be amazed how much functionality you fit into it. I downloaded 4.2 this morning and it seems even better. I don't know how you do it.
Well done !!

I don't get it.what freememapplet got to do with refresh menu script? I made freememappletdelayed script in usr/sbin/ side by side with freememapplet and do the same for blinky..and set a proper .jwmrc-tray file

I don't alter anything else

Well now I have all 4 of them ,blinky,absvolume,parcellite,freememoryapplet being killed in the top level of refresh menus, the reason why sometimes with timing it doesn't get killed soon enough, and then freememory or blinky gets released from the taskbar, this way they are all killed and then the last step of refresh menus is restart JWM, so by doing that it doesn't get conflicts. works great also

Refresh menus

#!/bin/sh

exec Xdialog --no-close --msgbox "Updating ..." 10 20 &
p=$!
killall freememapplet
killall parcellite
killall blinky
killall absvolume
/usr/sbin/fixmenus
/usr/sbin/menu-fix

You can use your old one for time being

It still works, But of course a newer one is better, but all the apps were compiled with the older devx's etc.

when I change the theme I get a extra parcellite and absvolume, so i'll have to add a kill to that applications, or if you just refresh menus, it all goes back like it should.

Its all switching fine now

I added the kills to the icon switcher, I nolonger have the /root/myapplications/bin system links either. Pwigets&Ptray is gone 100% not turned off, and now it refresh's menus in about 1/10 of the time.

Hi

Just trying out 4.2retro on a Thinkpad T21 with a Buffalo Air Station Turbo G (Model: WLI-CB-G54HP)
and i notice that there is a very limited number of modules listed (7) in the Network Wizard (see image below)
although i was able to modprobe those that i needed to enable me to send this.

Just thought you needed to know.

Congratulations to all involved.

It's a distro to be super proud of.

I've just added the start up eye candy of the graphical grub, it's now complete for me.

ttuuxxx,
excellent job on SeaMonkey, best yet.

Well done everyone.

No, it's the same kernel. No modifications at all at the kernel level.
