Patience, both luci's just came out( even though they have been in development for a while.) I know Playdaze has done a outstanding job and yes I intend to build macpups out of both. I will wait a few days to watch how they are doing and start on a new build of e next week. Just hang on, we will test alot before we release.We dont just crank stuff out . We have had a long row of very successful pups and we want that to keep going.

I want to get another theme or two out first.

Two new themes for this weekend. Blue-7 and Smoke-1

runtt21 · #169 Post by **runtt21** » Sat 20 Aug 2011, 18:36

The MP-Smoke-1.pet is now in the macpup525 folder on my macpup page.The smoke theme is a customized version of Glen Larsen's smoke theme.It is very light.I think it's the smallest e17 theme I have seen. But it doesn't "skin" all of the modules so they will revert to the default. theme,and it doesn't have its own boot splash.....

Important note for Dpup users

All macpup theme use the alternate shelf style.Macpup is set up to do that by default. To set your desktop up that way right click on the shelf ,select bottom shelf( or whatever shelf you are using) and then settings. Then look under the style tab in the shelf settings panel.

I should have the blue 7 theme up tomorrow.

Important note for Dpup users

Thank you of keeping Dpup users informed. Most of us are still green and novice when it comes to e17. I have learnt the basic usage through your excellent advices and manuals.
Thanks, and your tips are highly appreciated.

I plugged my latest build of e into 528 and so far it has run great. I haven't seen a white box at all,in fact I haven't seen one in 525 in several months.

Later this week I will build a newer version of e for the next macpup .I want to wait a few days to see if they get this ibar/engage bug fixed that I keep hearing about.

My 528 test build....

I tried out firefox 9.01 last night ,Still locks up like 8 did. Bummer

Looks like I got my "smoke" theme out before Agust released his.

Is Firefox 7.0 Beta the one to stay with for a while then?
Thanks for your help now I know how to set them up. Without your help I would have no clue at all

Yes 7.01 but don't let it update. I use it every day I really love it. I wish they would have keep it like it was I wanted to put that into a new macpup.

FYI the "seven" I am talking is the July build of nightly the cutting edge pre alpha firefox.

Hi runt21 !

Agree with you Firefox 7 Beta runs without problems.

Use also Chromium 15

http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... -Lucid.pet.

Look also here http://diddywahdiddy.net/LupuNews/.

Dude!!

Good news!! New build looks stable.I will play with it this weekend and plug it into the base next week.then the work starts....

BTW the "M" on the shelf is for Macpup, not menu...

runtt21 · #182 Post by **runtt21** » Sun 28 Aug 2011, 00:31

New set of extra modules for the new build are ready and work. Just need a really cool new theme from Agust (Yes,it's on the way) . And the Saga as sneeky calls it goes on....

PLLLEASE tell us that SCALE module is included and is running fine without any special drivers... ( nvidia / ATI ... video drivers )....

runtt21 · #184 Post by **runtt21** » Sun 28 Aug 2011, 03:14

Sorry dude. I didn't do that one.It depends on the comp module and that one causes problems. I usually skip those anyway cause I want macpup to run and look great on boxes that don't have the graphics to do composting as well as the one that can.

runtt21 · #185 Post by **runtt21** » Mon 29 Aug 2011, 21:49

Almost ready for alpha. New theme looks amazing !! One of Agust best yet. No you can't see it until the release. It's a surprise.
