Dear All,

Not to blame anyone but when decided to use icewm's blinky and freememapplet 2 things happen:
1. blinky will not follow theme for background
2. the freememapplet still shows only part of what it supposed to show

so I made up a fix for any jwm users who wants it

thanks

Edit: changed freememapplet delay from 2 to 1 sec

The snapshot of the desktop looks beautiful -- that's going to create a very good first impression!

I'm downloading it right now.

Thats what I've been doing for the past 3 hours, look below :) also I have it restart with 'refresh Menus' so if blinky or freememory applet jumps off the taskbar, one click of 'refresh Menus' and it jumps back on :) Does your version do that also?

Hi Barry Check out Seamonkey, I used 5 different Seamonkey themes to put that one together, plus some coding to make them work and then I made a custom throbber with the puppy logo, its basically 20 pictures in animated Gif format :)

I use delay also for freememapplet, but it seems 2 secs is too long..so it will show up in taskbar for a split second then go to where it belongs...(when refresh menus & changing jwm theme)

I added a kill to the freshmenus for freememory, that makes it work better, Try that.

exec Xdialog --no-close --msgbox "Updating ..." 10 20 &
p=$!
killall freememapplet
/usr/sbin/fixmenus
/usr/sbin/menu-fix

New version 4.2

#23 Post by evilmrb »

I have been a fan of Puppy for some time and never ceased to be amazed how much functionality you fit into it. I downloaded 4.2 this morning and it seems even better. I don't know how you do it.
Well done !!

I don't get it.what freememapplet got to do with refresh menu script? I made freememappletdelayed script in usr/sbin/ side by side with freememapplet and do the same for blinky..and set a proper .jwmrc-tray file

I don't alter anything else

Well now I have all 4 of them ,blinky,absvolume,parcellite,freememoryapplet being killed in the top level of refresh menus, the reason why sometimes with timing it doesn't get killed soon enough, and then freememory or blinky gets released from the taskbar, this way they are all killed and then the last step of refresh menus is restart JWM, so by doing that it doesn't get conflicts. works great also :)

You can use your old one for time being :) It still works, But of course a newer one is better, but all the apps were compiled with the older devx's etc.

when I change the theme I get a extra parcellite and absvolume, so i'll have to add a kill to that applications, or if you just refresh menus, it all goes back like it should. :)

Hi

Just trying out 4.2retro on a Thinkpad T21 with a Buffalo Air Station Turbo G (Model: WLI-CB-G54HP)
and i notice that there is a very limited number of modules listed (7) in the Network Wizard (see image below)
although i was able to modprobe those that i needed to enable me to send this.

Just thought you needed to know.
