XFCE-4.4.1.SFS and XFCE-4.4.1.PET for Puppy 3.0+ FINAL
problem with panel size
First of all JB4x4 thanks a lot for your work.
I have a little problem with the panel size. When I'm trying to lower the size, only the icons get smaller, not the panel itself.
Another thing is that the gtk-theme of puppy gets over the xfce theme. I noticed with firefox and the puppy menu list.
I also need a tip for xfce taskbar, when I open an applications the window in the taskbar appears in the left of a previously opened applications, and I want it to appear in the right, lilke in jwm or windows.
Also, I've noticed that installing with a pet package is maybe a little bit faster than with the .sfs. I have 128 ram and a good swap partition, and I also load openoffice .sfs. Anyone notice it too?

In fact I attached toe Xfce sfs to an installation where EZpup (icewm) was done (in the pup_safe)
In order to gain some free memory I un-installed the EZpup.
But now when I start, I am in JWM and I don't see how I can switch to the Xfce desktop.
However, the filemanager Tunar is there, as is the Mousepad.
I tried xwin startxfce, but to no avail.
How can I start Xfce?
(in fact before un-installing EZpup, I had to go in start an choose the option: Start Xfce, which brought me the desktop then.)

Great seaside.
I tried xwin startxfce, but didn't know the 4 had to be added.
Works.

Re: problem with panel size
Me too, but I found that the fspace monitor was the problem. It's font prevents the whole panel from shrinking once it gets down to a certain size. At first, I just decreased the font size, but I found a better appraoch. Just find the fspace.sh file and delete the line that echos "Free." This way, it will just show the # of MB remaining and will allow you to shrink the panel.cf13 wrote: I have a little problem with the panel size.

You're not alone on this one.I also need a tip for xfce taskbar, when I open an applications the window in the taskbar appears in the left of a previously opened applications, and I want it to appear in the right, lilke in jwm or windows.
Re: problem with panel size
That happens to me, too. I cannot find a way to change the puppy default look of tabs, radio buttons, and drop-down list no matter what theme I tried to put on. None of the theme engines I tried did the trick, and the bitmap based themes change nothing at all. Does anyone know how to fix it?cf13 wrote:

I can't download the 4.41d.sfs
I get some weird message from a netfirms site.
Is there another place to get that sfs?

PROBLEM: You have a small monitor and use Opera's Fit to Width function all the time. The problem is that the default Xfce keyboard shortcuts map ctrl+F11 to the selection of workspace #11. Who has that many workspaces?
SOLUTION: Add a new keyboard shortcut profile (Settings => Window Manager Settings => Keyboard Tab). The new one will start with all of the default mappings. Scoll down to Workspace 11. Double-click the entry and select No Shortcut on the dialogue that pops up. You can now use ctrl+F11 to take advantage of Opera's Fit to Width shortcut. Do the same for any other mappings that conflict with the shortcuts of your apps.

I bet the tray is positioned now in the middle.
You can go into the configuration of XFCE and place the panel to the right.
Don't remember if it is panel one or panel two.

I have just installed the Xfce-4.4.1.pet on a clean Photon install. The system boots with icewm except that there is no background image or icons but all other functions are working. I can right click and go to window manager and click restart with Xfce and the Xfce manger will boot. I would like to know if there is a way that Xfce will boot automatically?
