(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi Trio, or Anyone:

Trio, love your theme-maker. It's just that elegant touch that enables those of us to have our finished (if that ever happens (':lol:')) Puppy look just right.

Probably those of you who made themes the old fashioned way already know. But I'm not among them (':oops:'). And there are probably other Puppy fans who also don't know. If I wanted to make a pet of the files/folders used by the gorgeous theme I just created so that I could use it in a different Puppy, which files/folders would I have to include?

Of course, if you have nothing better to do, version 1.6 including a radio button to load and save one's work as a pet would be great.

mikesLr

Version 1.6:
- BUGFIX: Edit function actually was not working before (nobody complaints though)
- NEW!!!! AUTOMAGICALLY CREATES PREVIEW PICS FOR THE THEME SWITCHER

see main post

Version 1.6.1: fix fc-list compatibility. Fully working for precise 5.7.1 and slacko 5.7, also with fc-list of tahr 6.0 (but tahr needs proper ffmpeg to make jwmthememaker create preview pics, other things are ok)

Hi Puppus,

Great, any bug?

i think so. when i made a test theme, saving it automatically activated it. when i went to put back my original theme, the new settings for active taskbar item and the popup seem to have overwritten the originals.

edit: the old popup is back after a round of theme switches, but the active item appears to still be affected.

Hi again,

1. Yes save is always + apply now, cuz I need to capture the preview of it on desktop
2. I Can't duplicate your bug, sorry. So, no error for me

thanks & regards

you're welcome and no big deal--i'll just change it back in the jwmrc-theme file (though this one is brighter and easier to see and i've already gotten used to it).

Version 1.7: replace binary rgb2hex to a bash script called rgb2hexscript

I previously had it in the 'noarch' repo, but realised that it has a x86 binary executable in it, so have moved it to 'common'.

Recently, L18L has internationalised the script, so I have created a new PET, and bumped the version from 1.5 to 1.5.1 (5K):

Version 1.7.1:
- Bugfix: fc-list compatibility when edit mode
- New: will use avconv instead of mmpeg if not available

see main post

Version 1.7.2: Fully compatible with precise 5.7.1, slacko 5.7, tahr 6.0 (as long as jwm taskbartray swallows xload). Might work with quirky 6.0. It will fail to grab taskbar pic if in autohide mode and/or if the taskbar is not on top or bottom

see main post

Version 1.7.3: Tidy up, add more tooltips & warnings. This will be the last version for now, unless something come up

see main post

Version 1.7.4: bugfix: get correct preview pics when tray height is changed

see main post
