amazing job on the new version 5 series
using lupu, lighthouse64, and macpup now
honestly puppy 4 was unstable and could have been considered 'Beta' as an operating system
5 is a giant step forward in terms of usability
love everything from the systray items to being able to update the repo list in petget
attached is the original gtk theme from pup4pentiums
put in /usr/share/themes if u want to use

Really? I used 4.1.1 for years and found it stable as a rock, apart from the "INSERT kills Seamonkey" bug...

The xfwm4 subdir identifies the content as specific for xfce4 wm decor (not a 'generic' gtk theme that simply works on the interior of gtk-drawn windows in most wms, generic gtk themes are identified by a gtk-2.0 or similar subdir). Openbox uses similar subdirs for its themes (openbox3 if I recall correctly).
All pups have their niches

puppy 4 didn't have a control panel, contemporary systray functions, things that new users might need
prone to major system errors, including one time when a frugal save file 'spilled over' and merged with hard drive contents
yesterday i gave up on lupu because of an issue where after the first boot and frugal install my PS/2 keyboard stops working
while i am not surprised, i see that lots of basic but useful utilities have been added or upgraded, looking forward to a complete i686 puppy version
