Looks really cool, and the Pwidgets theming is no problem. 01micko and trio made a bunch of themes and sidebars. Dejan555 has created heaps of clock-skins. - So it should be easy to find something for a base. There still misses some icons before it is a complete Stardust theme. Stardust have a extended icon-collection compared to the official Puppy.

Your rox-theming is also nice, but incomplete. I wonder if it is a good idea to add this as a part of a Stardust theme, because it will generate several new kilobytes??????

Hi Stu90,

I like the concept of what you've put together, and thought I'd give it a go, but when I went to change the desktop background, it just gave me a blank gray colour because of pwidgets not being there. I was quite happy not to have pwidgets up, but had to use it to add some colour to the screen.

Tried to uninstall through PPM, but still have all the settings there. Some of that is ok, but I'd like to go back to the standard icons on the ROX-file boxes.

What do I need to edit/delete to remove this and go back to the original settings?

Thanks.

Bones

Hello bones01
Im not sure i understand what you mean, puppy look doesn't use pwidgets
have you tried changing wallpaper through the default Nathan Wallpaper Setter? menu>desktop>desktop Settings

If its the menu icons/folder icons you mean you can change them with the default Desktop Icon Switcher. menu>desktop>desktop Settings
icon packs are located in /usr/local/lib/X11/themes
you can delete what you don't want/need puppy.look icons are the menu.token ones

If it is the 9 icons in the Rox-Filer toolbar (up,Home,Bookmarks,Rescan) etc you want to remove
then go to /root/ (you might need to show hidden files right click in Rox display>show hidden)
in /root/ folder
1.Delete .gtkrc2.0-mime file
2. Open .gtkrc.mime file with a text editor replace the text with:

Thanks for the answers Stu. Made the changes and things are pretty much as I want them to be.

To your questions, I did use Nathan's Wallpaper Settings, but that wouldn't change the background without adding pwidgets.

Thanks for your help though.

Hello,
Zigbert,....DuDE,...Great work..I remember we discussed something along those lines like a year ago, around Puppy 4 era....So my question is, does it only work in certain series of Pups, ie 4.12 / 4.31, 5.0, 5.1...
Didnt a lot of hierarchy change at 4.31??
Ive been gone a while, so forgive me if I missed something...

Oh, and Rox would be a great addition to it, icing on the cake, so to speak...
I still think global theme management is the way to go... Cool

Part of why I like Enlightenment...

I tried to uninstall puplook 9.9 from puppy 5.2 by unistalling the pet via PPM but it is still there, how do I uninstall?
