Icon size on pinbioard

[rmcellig]

I am using a save file with Puppy 5.2.8.

I wasn't able to open up a new rox window until I replaced it with the original ROX-Filer file.

Hope this helps

Musher- doesn't gunzip do it?

For starters Randy you gotta rename it! Then it's this bit..

All you need to do now is replace your current ROX-Filer file with this new one.

So, navigate to: /usr/local/apps/
and right click on the file called: ROX-Filer
and select: Look Inside

You may want to make a backup copy of this original file: /usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/ROX-Filer
if so then simply Drag 'n' Drop it somewhere and select Copy.

Then Drag 'n' Drop your new file: rox-filer-20100408smw-patched/ROX-Filer/ROX-Filer
into: /usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer
once again, select Copy and allow it to overwrite the current file.

Finally, close all open windows and files,
then restart the X server.

You can now right click on a desktop icon,
and select the Set Icon option in the popup menu. (a window will open for you to drag an icon onto)

Go to wherever you have your bigger icons located,
and then Drag 'n' Drop the appropriate icon onto the Set Icon window that opened before.

Hope this helps

Make an icons folder in ~/ for when Pup gets wonky..

Special thanks to CatDude for the inspiration.

Hi, Semme.

Yes it unzips. But when I replace the old ROX-Filer with the new one, xwin pekwm loads but hangs "in mid-air".

Did either of you set the executable bit prior to restarting X?

[rmcellig]

Yes.

Randy- it would most likely work if built on your Moms box.

Besides the devx and kernel src, you need autoconf_2.65.

Grab these and I'll walk you through..

[musher0]

HI, folks.

As for me, it finally worked. I had indeed forgotten to make the thing executable...

But it seems that the sizes are 24, 128 and 128 pixels.
The original ROX has a progression : 24, 32, 48 pixels (or maybe 24, 48, 64 pixels? I can't remember.)
Would it be possible to have a progression like 24, 64 and 128 pixels?

Anyway, thanks for your trouble. With the 128 pixels size now available in ROX,
you almost don't need an actual picture viewer.

BFN.

Bat'n 500! As for sizing- sure.. If someone can tell me about this bit in pixmaps.h..

Code: Select all

/* If making the huge size larger, be sure to update SMALL_IMAGE_THRESHOLD!
#define HUGE_WIDTH 96
#define HUGE_HEIGHT 96

#define ICON_HEIGHT 128
#define ICON_WIDTH 128

#define SMALL_HEIGHT 18
#define SMALL_WIDTH 22
 
 * When a MaskedPixmap is created we load the image from disk and
 * scale the pixbuf down to the 'huge' size (if it's bigger).
 * The 'normal' pixmap and mask are created automatically - you have
 * to request the other sizes.
/*

Figuring the middle would work straight up, I didn't bother adjusting the huge value.

If I had to guess, I suspect the 'update SMALL_IMAGE_THRESHOLD' is GTK related..

The build was quick'n dirty, kind of a proof-of-concept for me.

Yo Randy- THIS is what your mom wants! Eliminate the folders name spacing after extraction..

[musher0]

Hi, Semme.

This is what I mean by the "progression" of icon sizes in the regular ROX-Filer.
The three sizes are controlled by the magnifying glass icon with a "+" sign in it.
The smaller size is very handy for regular viewing of folders, and should stay.
But the other two sizes could each be upped a notch, I think.
Is that feasible? Thanks in advance.

Please forgive me for not having been more precise in my previous messages.

Have a great day!

Musher- if we knew how to update (the) SMALL_IMAGE_THRESHOLD, then either of us could compile to suit.

I see. We'll leave at that, then. Thanks for the info.
