Q for WhoDo,

Whist trying to increase the text size of my taskbar clock (QuanX-Who theme) I came across this forum post
http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/IceWM
where it was noted that only when copying Xft fonts into the default theme allowed font changes to be made. Which proved to be true in my case.(nice big clock now)
The change seems to date from 2003. I've looked at other themes and they don't have the font section.
So I'm a bit confused with whats correct. I know it worked in my case. but whats the correct way of setting theme fonts for IceWM in Puppy 4.1

thanks

DC

Whodo, I want to thank you and everyone in the community for such a commitment to making the puppy so powerful and beautiful! Smile

I'm totally overwhelmed by it! It's my 3rd day working with puppy and as I understand how things work I keep making it better and better!

Thanks for your support and for the love printed in all the things you do.

regards,

Alvaro

Hi, i have installed EZpup4 but i have lost some things on my taskbar.
I had a look through the preferences file but cant find it.

I am using a laptop and used to have the remaining battery as a percentage in the bottom right hand corner but now i dont.

I also had the amount of remaining hdd space and a better looking cpu chart, are these recoverable?

Please can someone help me?

Thanks

Thanks WhoDo, one last Q
I got the batter meter back, that's all good, but the CPU part confuses me.

This is what i want the CPU to be

Here's a download link to a .PET package I just created (about 2 MB or so), for JaniceM in the Beginners' Help sub-forum who is just getting started with IceWM, containing the themes I use: [EDITED: New link here, old free file hosting site pooped out, now use this link: http://www.adrive.com/public/fa3101d4c6d33e663194a86987fe9550a60db16bf26dd60060557536f0692998.html].

Thanks to WhoDo for the Golden_Mood and Xtreme-Animated themes; willhunt for numerous themes selected from the massive "icepak" package (including QuanX, Velvet themes, Elberg themes, Smooth themes, IceQua, icemucha, IceBergX, liQuid, Silver, Shiney-single); and even me, for my very simple but colorful themes (Autumnalia, Winterblue, Greenery, RoyalPurple). This package will put the themes in /usr/share/icewm/themes.
