Cosmo UI for Puppy Linux

[puppyluvr]

Hello,
@musher0,
Cosmo doesnt do anything to your right click menu, your taskbar, or WM menu..
It just replaces, or adds to, your desktop icons.. Its just gtkdialog and conky...

Hello,
Yes, that is what inspired me...
But I wasnt happy with just a conky display, it had to be interactive, to be "clickable", and it had to have the slideshow function...
BTW, this isnt finished by a long way, I just had to deal with "life", that stuff that interrupts our fun time...
The slideshow is done , the resolution adjuster is almost done..
Still testing various WM`s and DE`s like xfce and compiz and enlightenment etc..
Many offshoots from this will appear, like a really cool Star Trek thing I have going, and a slideshow widget...
If only there were 12 days in a week, or 36 hr days... LOL

Looks good combined with Win8 Cursor Theme, XFWM Theme and GTK Theme..

Modified the script a little bit to change the applications like ROX to Thunar and btw I found a weird bug concerning the XFCE window manager
w/ compositing enabled. When I quit CosmoUI the screen gets filled with a solid color and I need to restart XFWM4 so the screen gets redrawn.
I don't know if others experience the same. I'm on Slacko 5.4 and Slacko 5.3.3

Anyways, Thanks

Hello,
Ironically, I`m running it ATM in Xfce4.


Now I`m scared to shut it off..
Naw, but I`m in Compiz so I wonder if that affects it, cause it dies fine for me.. Before I shut it off this time, I will enable everything I can think of, but Cairo-dock controls my composite stuff, so I will try changing it to Xfce and Compiz, and see if I can get it to happen..

When 'real life' allows, I have an update which allow the slideshow in the center above... But there is a Lua based Conky which allows 'clicks'..
I have not got it to work for me yet, but have had little Puppy Time of late..
But when I get it working, oh man, the possibilities......

I know our Forum Master, he who makes all this possible, is well versed in Lua... Maybe he could have a look???

Hi puppyluvr,

Any new updates? and how is the Star Trek theme coming?

Haven't seen anything here in awhile hope you have not dropped it.

I have just downloaded it again. Hope to see you here soon.

I have also posted this for you since you like Star Trek

Just a couple of suggestions to help with maintaining this:
1 Use xwininfo or xdpyinfo to get the screen dimensions and
2 use that to generate the icons programatically using svg.
3 split out the dependencies into separate packages.

Here is one of my svg generator tools that may be useful:

You can also do things like bar graphs and charts with svg and you can set gtkdialog to autorefresh the images on change (for cpu, temp, battery etc...)... thus eliminating the need for conky

Medor loosed his cosmoui translated French. What a Pity. Anyone could help us ? He has just retrieved it. Is there a pet yet available, even in English spoken ?
discussion en français Lupu style Metro In fact médor would like to store his pet (447k) , to big to join it to his topic.

Medor has just tested Cosmo UI on Slacko 5.9.6.4 32 bits (wacom fujitsu siemens) and user Pelo with Lucid Metro from Hungary, then Slaxen 6.3.2 .
Both agreed on cosmo ui could serve again , for people who like it.
