What I'm trying to do is apply the JWM Theme = Black-VG.
How to do it?

You need to exit from X, then type "xwin jwm".
To revert, exit from X and type "xwin openbox"

Understood...

But how do I make one of those the default that automatically loads at every new startup?

Sorry if I'm asking dumb newbie questions.

I have tried the jwm2-492-q1.pet but switching to JWM I have no icons for free space or network connection at the bottom right.

Type "xwin jwm" and it will become the default.

Understood...and thanks.

Ouch, spoke too soon.

1. With JWM installed...
I switched to using JWM as instructed...
BUT...

2. Could see no sign on the [Desktop?] menu of any configuration arrangements/choices for a JWM theme...
So...

3. Installed jwm-vista3.pet linked HERE.

4. That made no difference.
Still couldn't see any way to activate this theme.

5. Didn't save the session at shut-down [all changes will be lost].
Came back to report.
How should it be done?

EDITED BY LLOYD. This post originally announced version 4.9. The latest version is now 4.10. Please update for Quirky. Pet download: http://files.lstandish.com

Changes since version 4.8:
A snap2 user reported trouble with remote backup configuration which led me to discover that the check for absolute path for the backup storage directory (a no-no) could be circumvented. Also added checks that allow snap2 to tolerate incorrect (empty) variables in the settings file, a check for rsync on the remote server (for remote server backups), detection and workaround for oversized logfiles (too big for gtkdialog to display internally), plus the confusing "Save Storage Settings" was removed.

for photoshop user, this is gimphoto, all command similar to photoshop, tested and run on quirky 1.1

if you already have gimp, it will be not replace it.

because I use it everytime
Geeqie has been forked from gqview project
* EXIF, IPTC and XMP metadata browsing and editing
* interoperability, easy integration with other software
* geeqie works on files and directories, there is no need to import images
* fast preview for many raw image formats
* tools for image comparison, sorting and managing photo collection
easy configurable

compiled with qrky110[/code]

realy nice release Thanks Barry

Does anyone have a working .pet of Gyachi for Quirky. I've tried .pet's in the forum and .deb's in Ubuntu repositories. All of them gave me a segmentation fault.

Thanks.

Got this from coolpup: galculator 1.3.4.pet

you'll need to set it up in the configure areas
like defaultbrowser, defaultmediaplayer

updated Gyachi, now has sound, it was missing a file, just redownload the package.

Thanks a million for the Gyachi .pet, ttuuxxx. However, it lacked the gtkhtml library which I am attaching herewith. It is running fine now. Thanks again.

I guess I spoke too soon. Gyachi would exit when I start a private chat. Error was a Symbol Lookup Error by libgyachigtkspell.so. Workaround: disable spell checking.

Hi I fixed the spellcheck and added your gtkhtml.pet, I never use this app but I guess some like it a lot, I did get booted by a flooder when I was trying the spellcheck on a automatic pm it sent me, but its not the app crashing, its a flooder. It did correct doog --->dog

Thanks again ttuuxxx. Unfortunately my hard drive died a few hours after I tested your latest pet.

Next package request: Giver. It is a small file sharing utility that allows you to "give" files to other computers in a network (also running Giver) without having to set up an ftp server or pnethood.

Forget Giver it uses MONO, that would blow up to be a very large app.
ttuuxxx

Ohhh yeah. I remember now. Mono is no-no. Make our pup bloat with fat.
