I've added an optional top panel with commonly used applications + a new button on the Desktop Change appearance menu item to activate it.

Only the pets are affected and have been updated.

I have made full iso distributions - LxPup-13.11 - based on LxPup-by-SFS - see http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=730071#730071

In 3 "flavours" - for Slacko5.6 4g & pae and for Precise5.7.1 pae.

14 Dec 2013

Here is a version of LxPup-by-SFS for Pemasu's Dpup Wheezy 3.5.2

The SFS is actually the Slacko one:
lxpup-by-sfs_S.5.6.04.sfs 1b9e51ae27147ed284248e0c1103eb80 14.4MB

The setup pet is however unique to Dpup Wheezy:

Here is a work around for the icon problems in newer woof-CE pups, it should only run if the autostart dir is populated.

Hi Peter,

It's a bug in lxpanelx. A timing issue. As SFR stated lxpanel is unaffected.

I would report it to the developer if I were you. He may be able to add a few milliseconds delay or track down the issue that causes it.

Oh, and if he tells you try starting from /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart (aka $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/LXDE/autostart) file the same issue occurs. (that file can be in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/LXDE/ too)

What my work around does (and that's all it is) is kill each process when it is actually started (because it doesn't get the background colour) then restart them. It's pretty simple actually, just finds each process ID when it starts, kills it, then once they are all killed it restarts them. The slow down is powerapplet_tray as on desktops it doesn't run, so the full 4 seconds (sleep 0.5 x 8 ) [ ha.. cant post digit 8 character ')' on the forum, get Cool

] is taken up. Not a huge issue. I think that restart you are doing is rather the problem with the cpu maxing out issue.

In my tests it works flawlessly with line 6 commented (in 1-lxde-startup.sh)

HTH

Here is the setup pet for the Slacko5.7 test builds (woof-ce builds).

Many thanks to 01micko for the system-tray fix for LxPanelX as I would have been very sad to have to stop using it.

I've changed the background to a lighter one as the new tray icons for battery and sound do not work on a dark background.

Cheers

Hi PeeBee,

Will you incorporate this fic also in 13.11 (or 13.12 / 14.01) ?
Or do you plan to work on a Slacko 5.7 release with LXDE ?

Im using it with Quirky Tahir, it's very nice thanks

I had a slight problem where if you open up several programs the clock goes off the screen because the taskbar gets bigger, instead of making the program icons smaller.

Also it seems to do something to the command line because when I try to compile something it complains about the arguments
