Hey folks,
Headed off to work, but I've been tweaking my desktop "look" on my "new" tinker box and was wondering (as I can't find anywhere from searching):
Is there anywhere that people have uploaded Pwidgets preset color themes in .pet files?
The number of themes that Pwidgets comes with is a bit minimal, and I could go through and edit everything manually to get the colors I would like, but I would love to see what interesting color combinations other folks have come up with
Thanks!

Same issue as PenguinPupLin

I have the same issue as PenguinPupLin. My Puppylinux widget truncates the version to 5...4.
Is there an edit to the config file to fix this? I have tried changing size, borders, font, font size, etc. to no avail.
Oh, and AWESOME widget d(O o O)b !!!

A problem I always have with Pwidgets is when I change colour and then restart X or add new plugins, it switches back to default colour. At times it won't start, and I have to force it from the menu. I have tested the latest Wary, Slacko and Precise, and other people don't seem to have the same issue, so I guess it's my graphic card? (an Intel one, not sure the model)

I've been trying the latest Pwidgets and it seems more stable in my installs now. It doesn't stop anymore when I restart or reboot, only when I stop it manually. The colour themes issue I mentioned above remains, but all plugins work. It gives a nice touch to my desktop, especially used with Openbox:

Not sure if that number 7 is meant to be there, but I thought you may want to know. A user has reported something similar with the weather plugins:

Mystery text

Hey - That mysterious "7" is an orphaned character in the configuration file for the pmusic widget.
Just click "pmusic" on the left side, and then file-->show widget(s) config file, and you will see the number 7 kicking about on the first line of the last section like this:
Code: Select all
${color2}${font Pdingobats:bold:size=20}7${font DejaVu :style=bold:size=14}${color0}Pmusic${font Ionic Charge :size=26}${alignr}${color1}${execi 1 /usr/local/pwidgets/widgets/scripts/Pmusic time}${font Monofonto :size=18}
It is right there after the font size=20 before the $ sign. Just delete it, save, and click "apply" in the pwidgets dialog. If you have a custom color theme, you may have to apply that as well, as it often defaults to another.
Several of the widgets have these random characters in them, but they are easy to find once you track down one of them.
Cheers!

Hello,
I installed Pwidgets 2.4.1 running Puppy Precise 5.4.3 and this is what I get (see picture): calendar doesn't show days of the month anymore. Tried a previous release ( 2.3.8 ): same thing! This didn't happen running Racy 5.3 rand Precise 5.4.1.
How could this be solved?
Thank you!
Cordialement.

G'day,
My pwidget calendar has also decided it's now a one-day-a-month (the actual day number is displayed but nothing else in the now blank calendar space).
Regarding the CPU widget, I've combined the RAM bar and the two CPU bars with the Puppy Space widget by adding (copying) the display lines for the RAM and CPU bars (from their configuation files) to the end of the Puppy_space widget config file - so one widget shows four bars (RAM/drive space, RAM in use, then CPU usages):
#this is a Pwidgets config file
#the actual building of the graphics is defined in bottom of this file, - after 'TEXT'.
#Puppy space. Free space on Puppys virtual filesystem
#### PWIDGETS #####
HEIGHT=130
OFFSET_X_LEFT=40
OFFSET_X_RIGHT=40
#### CONKY ####
#COLORS --- 0:headings 1:base-info 2:extra-info 3:markers 5:green 6:red
#Colors are defined in theme-files, - NOT here.

color1 666666
color2 bbbbbb
color3 ffab00
color5 499D3A

${color0}CPU 1 ${color3} ${cpubar cpu1 10,105}
${color0}CPU 2 ${color6} ${cpubar cpu2 10,105}
I had to increase the resulting widget height to display the four bars.
Maybe this will work for you as I haven't had a problem with this widget, just the calendar.

Hello,
These are lines found in the xerrs.log file:
Code: Select all
Conky: invalid configuration file '/root/.pwidgets/widgets/Ram_gauge'
Conky: invalid configuration file '/root/.pwidgets/widgets/Cpu_gauge'
/usr/local/pwidgets/widgets/scripts/Calendar: line 5: cal: command not found
Don't know if this could help?
Cordialement.

Confirmed -- fresh Pwidgets install in fresh Precise 5.4.3 frugal install, the calendar widget is playing hide-and-seek,
it shows the current date only, none of the other days or the days and month are displayed. This didn't happen in Precise 5.4.2, so I wonder what did I do to get this bug? Other widgets run fine.

Now I know what year it is, and what month. And the day too

Weather Module:
Pwidgets-2.4.1
Everything in Pwidgets works fine for me except... the 'Weather Module' disappears from desktop after an Internet session. Only way to get it back is re-load the Pwidgets program.
My question: Does anyone know if this is a Pwidgets fault or a wolf fault as it happens with all the newer puppy's... and... is there a fix for it?
(I mentioned this problem over in the Upup-Precise forum also)
'Thanks'
