Ok, guys, it's the last call for inclusions in Alpha4. Idea

I'm going out to lunch with my family and when I come back in around 4-5 hours I'll be building and testing Alpha4 for uploading. I won't be adding anything after that until Alpha4 has been uploaded, tried and tested.

I know this is not the place to post a screen shot BUT this my desktop with JWM in 412 with all 420 mods. It speaks for itself how far we have come.

I love icewm too but I'm just thinking about the bloat factor. I know it is a done deal that icewm is in by default now. ( And yes Lobster, that is you in the top right of my screen! ) Very Happy

I tried iceWM once and did not care for it. I installed it and it changed a lot of "default" settings I had. When I deleted it, I had to manually change a lot of files that it changed. I hated it for that and will never use it again. That's my choice.
@ ttuuxxx, why do you always feel the need to remind us how many hours and how much time you put into your projects. Why do we need to know?
You have done many things to improve puppy and I am sure it is appreciated by many (including myself) but why does it seem like you're making this a competition?
If you make something and put it out there, fine. But if someone does not like it or agree with it, fine also. Don't be so defensive.

My opinion for puppy:
KISS - Keep it Small + Simple. (like my Corgi's) Very Happy

hey mick

did you know that if you removed say all the extra themes in my icewm and only included the 'Elegance' theme the total package size is 615kb which also includes/replaces in the default puppy

blinky
free memory applet
new shutdown menu plus icons
parcellite
new refresh menus
absvolume
of course icewm

so when you look at what you get for a 615kb pet package, I really don't think there is much bloat in that.

really if we removed what the Icewm package is providing like
JWM
JWM version of free memory applet
JWM version of blinky
JWM version of absvolume
Glipper

Then we would be getting rid of the doubles/ bloat and probably save around 200-300kb
depending how deep you remove.

Lobster & Trapster

first lobster, when I made those comments, thats because I actually had a good nights sleep for once, I got up and logged in and found 2 new pages on this thread, Keep in mind I went to bed happy that finally I managed to make WhoDo and pizzasgood happy Smile

and I figured all is well now.

Then i read Zigberts comments and about 1.5 pages later no positive response about IceWm was made. Well lets just say yes I was very upset. I think if you put as much effort into something like I did with that package you would be upset also.

Trapster
I remind people how much effort/time I put into puppy because my wife gets on my case all the time about the hours I put into this project. Wink

Like when comments were placed about the default title bar, well I spent 21.5hrs in one day working on it until it was perfect again, I always thought the default one was great to start with but I aim to please. Wouldn't you be proud about that? plus all the wifes crap that came along with it. Things on here just don't happen in a blink of the eye when you read/download it, It takes time and effort, Both I give by choice. So if all you have to do is read what it actually took, your the lucky one Wink
