pWidgets 2.5.8
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:
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):
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:
Don't know if this could help?
Cordialement.
These are lines found in the xerrs.log file:

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.

2.4.1
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'

I'm using 2.3.8 under Lazy and have the problem that the drives are not displayed correctly. It is not recognized if a drive is mounted or unmounted. And the free memory is not shown. I try around a bit and found the following effect:
If I mount all the drives, then pwidgets start, click it once to the right button below and update it then everything works normally.
Can I automate this?

Hello,
I would like to load widgets themes matching with the current jwm/gtk theme when changed. So, is it possible to set a pwidget theme using simple command line?
Thank you.
Cordialement.
(This directory doesn't exist: /root/.pwidgets/themes/DeepThought/...) Where could I find more explanations about this?zigbert wrote:If you have looked into Pwidgets poor theming, please note that it is possible to make individual themes for each widget. See /root/.pwidgets/themes/DeepThought/. Here you see 'main' and 'Ram'. Main theme is used when no individual theme exist. All widgets with DeepThought theme are goldish, but the Ram widget are blue.

DeepThought is old. Please check out /usr/local/pwidgets/widgets/themes/Startdust-orange. There you will see the 'main' theme which is global while the others is bound to a unique widget with the same naming.
By redefining the THEME variable in $HOME/.pwidgets/pwidgetsrc you can choose the theme of your liking.

Hello zigbert,
Thanks.
And what about the complete "gettextization" of Pwidgets? Many (French and others) users are often asking for. I wanted to try to make it, but, with the improvements of gtkdialog, I wondered if you were not working on a new version? So it would be then useless...
