How do the relate to Custom Builder? or Don't they? How are they employed? That is, what steps does one take using them to change kernel?

For your information, I have posted 2 messages about the availability of 2 Chinese Language pets for lina-005 and lina-002, one for Traditional Chinese and one for Simplified Chinese.

When you apply these language pets to lina, you will get:

1. 99% Chinese desktop (either Traditional or Simplified Chinese)
2. locale changed to zh_HK.utf8 or zh_CN.utf8
3. SCIM Chinese Input Method with 21 Chinese Input Methods
4. Chinese menus for many applications, including Thunar file manager, Geany editor, Libre Office
5. Chinese font wqy-microhei.ttf

The links to these 2 messages are:

Happy Holidays.

As well as selecting wallpapers, icons, cursors and themes, you can also position button and title layout in the advanced settings.

Thanks Geoffrey, works great!

Didn't work in lite though, got a "floating point exception" when run from terminal.

Funny, did the exact same thing to the makefile and compiled on lite with the same "floating point error".

	maxWidgets=(int)widgetWidth/previewSize;

	if(maxWidgets>=previewBox[currentPage].itemCnt)
		maxWidgets=previewBox[currentPage].itemCnt;

	colSize=(int)(widgetWidth/maxWidgets);

	if ((widgetWidth > 0) && (previewSize > 0))
		maxWidgets=(int)widgetWidth/previewSize;
	else
		maxWidgets=0;

	if(maxWidgets>=previewBox[currentPage].itemCnt)
		maxWidgets=previewBox[currentPage].itemCnt;

	if ((widgetWidth > 0) && (maxWidgets > 0))
		colSize=(int)widgetWidth/maxWidgets;
	else
		colSize=0;

Part of the problem is that 'lina-lite doesn't have the themes, cursors, and wallpaper that Carolina has. In some cases it may have only the defaults, or in the case of the wallpapers, none. It those cases it will get a divide by zero error and crash.

Part of this is due to sloppy c++ code.
