Hi! I don't know if i posted this message in the right forum, but the subject is about Puppy looking like windows. Anyway, could you guys help me on how to configure FVM95? Me and my friend happen to experiment with it. My problem is this. See my screenshot.

:D

you'll get sued by Micro$oft :lol:

do you know here in the Philippines, Micro$oft & NBI authorities (FBI in US) are raiding cyber shops with unlicensed or even licensed softwares. because they say these shops are breaching EULA, about the "don't-let-third-party-people-use-their-software-part-of-EULA" :evil:

hard part is, they'll get everything, i mean everything, & if you want them back you have to pay fines only to find out those computers are no longer working (missing parts). :evil:

At a AMD/ Microsoft road show The Microsoft rep. stated " that Micosoft had arrested" - the statement shows how much the corp personhood has move to corp statehood - with advent of privatizes army (seruity fource) In Iraq and how deploy in New Orleans (await for the land grab). The next step is to force the collapse Of the UN and international LAW so the the Corp Statehood can move the the corp empire (linux user are traitors{rebels} to the Microsoft Empire). To me Linux embodies Civilization - cooperation, community, sharing... - while pure capitalism is ownership of all: land (what in and under it: oil, iron, etc..), water, air , plants (DMA), amimials (people) (DMA), all knownage- with the power to buy, sell, control. Is not a Democratic instution but the wild beast the that Democratic Civilization harness to propel/power it into the future and that like any wild animal can turn and devourer whose whom forget/drop their guard.

Hey gliezl,

It would be really nice if you change "Windows 2000 Professional" with "Puppy 1.0.5 Professional" IN the same font and style.

Except if it is a scheme to smuggle Puppy into "Windows-Only" environments, like at school. :twisted: I was going to make one like that at one point, but I decided that I'd never use it. I was going to go as far as to clear out the boot messages and replace them with more Windows-like ones.

As far as I know Barry has developed an automated way of adding version numbers for 1.0.5

However once the alignment is sorted and the size is the same AND you tell us where the converted xpm is located we could download the pupget (JWM is the default in 1.0.5 - does not use this graphic) and upgrade to Puppy 1.0.5 Professional.

Now you know how MS make their products "professional" - they just call it professional . . . (the secret is out)

Good graphic :)
I would have though mtpaint will output to .xpm (you can also set the size to exactly match the existing .xpm)
which I believe is located here:
/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/fvwm-menu.xpm

I got the size to work with Puppy 1.0.4 (FVWM) and I'll try to upload the finished product. I used GIMP.

or could this be incorporated in future puppy versions? I like the way they created their program. It's nice to see it working with jwm. :D

check their site

Just a suggestion. :D

xdm is a graphical login manager

xclass seems to be a set of widgets for C++
i think it only works if you are writing C++ programs

Lobster, here is what you need. :)

You extract the dotpup in this directory: /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/

Just got around to downloading for Chubby Puppy 1.0.5 The .pup runs but it does not seem to work or provide the graphic with 1.0.5

hahahaha after reading the heading for this thread it just seems quite funny the twist that it's taken.

xdm.........I don't actually know if it's contained in Puppy, and for merging resources a C preprocessor is required, tho it can be given an option to not merge resources.

Best thing would be to read the xdm manpage and have a look at the configs of other distros......I posted a screen shot of puppy with xdm as the gui login manager (a good while ago) but at the time nobody seemed interested so I can gave up on the project. Well I thought it was quite cool.
