Ok, getting a bit too excited here. There is a problem with my fix if you place it in /root/Startup. The clock will not start automatically if you reconfigure Pwidgets from the Pwidgets GUI. Grrrrrrrrr!
So, I edited /usr/sbin/fixwidgets by adding the following line at the end of the script directing it to my script,

Still buggy though. I'll reupload the 'wakeclock.sh' file with increased distance on the cursor movement parameter because if you use Pwidgets GUI and leave the cursor on 'Apply' the deviation is not enough to find the desktop, which seems to be necessary. Still other bugs too, a little instability, may need to end the process somehow, (I don't know how). I thought being just a short movement and a single click that the process would die a natural death. See how we go Confused

EDIT: Changed the sleep value from 5 to 3 and delayed the click by 1 second, things seem more stable, BTW,most of the instability is in Icewm, Jwm has been playing nice, Smile

Ok guys I finally downloaded Pwidgets and had a play for a few minutes, Does anyone know how to get the grayish dark background removed from the docklet? I just want it to be transparent . Also when I use the analog clock I have to click on the space where it should be, to start it/show it, shouldn't it be automatic once Its set?
Thanks for your help

I have not tested it in icewm. It seems that icewm renders desktop slower than jwm. This prevent widgets to use the correct background when making itself a fake transparent background. Since conky updates the widgets after a given time, they go transparent at next update.
Please try to increase the sleep value in /usr/sbin/fixwidgets.

The analog clock issue is almost fixed (by 01micko), and will be in the next release.

Hi guys here's a update for the wallpaper setter. once you set the wallpaper click the "Close" button. when the close button is pressed it will restart Pwidgets Smile

If you don't click the "Close" button, nothing will happen.

This is another Version that doesn't restart Pwidgets on exit, to use this it has a button in the wallpapper setter called Pwidgets Restart"
