Next Puppy 5.0.2 29 September 2011
Themes
I have been tryin out next & really really like it a lot
Great Job Iguleder!!!
I went lookin for themes & found a site with many here is a link.
http://www.jessanderson.org/wmthemes/
I installed it simply by unpacking the tar.gz through xterm then moved the created folder to ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Themes & it showed up in the appearance menu. I switched to it & it loaded up fonts need adjusting through editing the style shellscript located in the themes folder.
again thanks Iguleder if you had not made this next pup version i would not have learned many things over the last few days
I would post a screenshot of the theme i installed but not sure how to take one just yet as soon as i do ill post it

I'll make a big bunch of font packages, don't worry. I just want to get alpha 2 ready first.
It has many changes, and the biggest difference is the fact the packages are also packaged automatically now. Previously, they were built automatically but had to be packaged manually - now I can rebuild the whole repository in 15 minutes.
I'll automate font packages too and maybe even add some fonts to the ISO - its size should drop to somewhere in the 65 to 70 MB range, so spending 1-3 MB on fonts is justified,

You used Aurora to run Peacekeeper?
WDYT of Aurora?
I still long for a really small and quick browser.
Midori, reporting as Safari, has been an excellent performer in Fluppy.
Dillo seems to have been abandoned and forgotten.

How does it look and perform compared to the others?Billtoo wrote:
Yes, Aurora, I've only been using today but I like it.
Did you create a PET or are you running it from a SFS?

Dillo just released an update to 2.2.1 on July 26,2011 and Dillo 3 should be available soon.edoc wrote: Dillo seems to have been abandoned and forgotten.

I compiled them both in Next 5, I tried to make a pet but the dir2pet script didn't work right.edoc wrote:How does it look and perform compared to the others?Billtoo wrote:

They both work well.
Would the newest Dillo (3) be worth the wait?
Is making a SFS, that will work in Next 5, difficult for the detail-challenged?
I always seem to miss a step or stumble on a dependency or miss a symlink or something ... and I have years of experience in all of that!
So, rather than waste everyone's time trying to walk me through such things I just ask and wait for someone more competent to make them available!

pacer106: I made font packages for these:
The DejaVu fonts package is what you need to get smooth fonts when using themes, since many themes use other Vera variants that don't ship built-in.
EDIT: you can get them here ... as always.
EDIT: I wrote a better parser, which is more accurate but doesn't feel slower, it's here. This time it has a more sophisticated category guessing mechanism that solves a problem I had in a testing build of alpha 2 - Pburn was missing from the menu.
I think it's more than enough, it's pretty much all the widely used free fontsdejavu-fonts-ttf
freefont-ttf
ubuntu-font-family
font-bh-ttf
liberation-fonts-ttf
LinLibertine

Just to highlight my way of operating.
I have gathered fonts in a fonts directory outside the save file and symlink it to /usr/share/fonts/default and these fonts are available for every puppy I use/test.

Building alpha 2, going to upload it once the ISO is ready.
The menu generator had one bug that prevented some menu entries from appearing in the menu, now it's fixed and everything works just fine.
I booted a testing build and installed Seamonkey - it's so goddamn fast! I like it a lot.
I'm sure alpha 2 will be more complete than alpha 1 ... by far.

Yes I know I am not on the needed level but I want to use Next.
So Alpha 2 has same name as Alpha 1 then? only size differ?
Okay I test it and get back within some 60 minutes if I get caught up in things I fail to get.
Re A1. It failed for me to do petget wm-xdgmenu-001.pet
so I am a total Dummy obviously

I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Hey! You can't go there ... because you do better than I do with some of this stuff ... where does that leave me if you are "a total Dummy".nooby wrote:
