FbBox-5.0 - Released 23 Sept 2017
Hi Bert,Bert wrote:Thanks for the detailed help Radky.
I checked the points ypu listed:
1. fbBox version is 2.0 OK
2. Font is contrasting white color OK
3. Used the default.bak. OK
4. Checked the code you quoted OK
Still no clock...
Make sure the tray clock plug-in is enabled in the FbPanel configuration manager.
Also, PupClockset should be version 2.3, not 2.0
Thanks

Hi Radky,
1. Yes, tray clock plug-in is and was enabled in the FbPanel configuration manager
2. I was talking about the fbBox version 2.0, which has PupClockset 2.3.1, so that should be okay.
Thanks again.

Hi Bert,
In Precise 5.7.1 the tray clock is working correctly for me in multiple test scenarios. If I understand correctly, the tray clock displayed correctly for you until recently, so possibly there is file corruption on your system.
In /usr/sbin you can use pfbpanel-bak to restore the original pfbpanel file, then load the Fbpanel configuration manager and click "Apply" to reset the configuration files.
Also, you could try installing the PupClockset-2.3.1.pet to reset the corresponding executable and configuration files, then load PupClockset and click "Set" to update the configuration files.

Hi again Radky,
When I changed it to 24 hours in PupClockset, it was gone.
Changing back to JWM, it's there again, but returning to fbBox, it's gone again.
Just to be sure: the clock is there, it's an empty field I can click to open PupClockset. It also has the date-popup working normally.
I also checked the font color again, it's white, so should be visble on the dark background.
Changing back to 12-hour format in PCS does not bring the clock back.
When I first installed fbBox, the clock was there in its default 12-hour notation.radky wrote:In Precise 5.7.1 the tray clock is working correctly for me in multiple test scenarios.

Did this, but no result.In /usr/sbin you can use pfbpanel-bak to restore the original pfbpanel file, then load the Fbpanel configuration manager and click "Apply" to reset the configuration files.
Yes, that worked. The clock appeared again. When I clicked it to change from 12 to 24 hours and clicked "Set", it was gone again.Also, you could try installing the PupClockset-2.3.1.pet to reset the corresponding executable and configuration files, then load PupClockset and click "Set" to update the configuration files.

Hi Bert,
Testing in nl_BE, everything works correctly for me.
At the moment, I have no explanation for your invisible clock numerals in the tray clock. Maybe change the "Sans" font to "DejaVuSans" or other font in PupClockset, and change the "color name" to hexdecimal format with the color selector, such as #ffffff.
Thanks
PS - When you change the locale setting in FbBox, the restartwm utility of Puppy does not support "openbox-session" (or lxsession). So, after changing the Locale setting in quicksetup, you must restart X manually (choose the restart X option in the Shutdown manager).

Somehow your intuition was right Radky!
I changed to en_US and...bingo:
The time is two hours behind Euro time, but I'm used to that Puppy feature.
I'll change back to my locale and report back.
Thanks a lot.

Okay, changed back from en_US to nl_BE in JWM, then changed to fbBox.
Problem seems solved! The 24-hour clock is there:
At first sight, problem is now solved. But is it? Radky's advice to change locales was perfect. But it seems there's still a tiny bug hidden somewhere, affecting only non-english users.
Big Thanks to you Radky, for your patience and guidance!
Best Regards,
Bert

Hi Bert,
If I understand correctly, the fbpanel developer (Anatoly Asviyan) has added localization support to SVN, but I'm not sure this is available or implemented in the official fbpanel 6.1.
http://sourceforge.net/p/fbpanel/feature-requests/70/
Thanks again! Your evaluation and recommendations are very much appreciated.
BTW, the next release (FbBox-3.0) is almost finished.

Help!
When puppy starts into FbBox it won't let me do anything. I see a creen like normal but I cant o anything with the mouse or the keyboard. I can turn it off however. I would like to manually uninstall but don't know how. Help me please
Hi Skydog007,When puppy starts into FbBox it won't let me do anything. I see a creen like normal but I cant o anything with the mouse or the keyboard.
Please provide specifications of your installation:
1 - What is your base Puppy (example: Tahrpup 6.03, Slacko-5.9.3, Precise 5.7.1 etc)
2 - How is Puppy installed (full, frugal etc.)
3 - Motherboard specifications (example: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz)
4 - Video graphics (example: Intel Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0102] (rev 09))
5 - Are your mouse and keyboard wired or wireless?
6 - I assume you have rebooted, but the problem persists?
7 - If you have a frugal installion of Puppy and can't boot to a usable desktop, then try booting with the ‘puppy pfix=nox’ parameter which takes you to a command-prompt where you can type "xwin jwm" to load the standard JWM environment.
8 - If loading the JWM environment is successful, you can uninstall FbBox through the PPM (Puppy Package Manager).

Slacko-6.3.X and slacko64-6.3.X include the gdk_pixbuf library of slackware-14.1. In this scenario, menu icons with the .xpm extension do not resize correctly in fbpanel (see pupMd5sum and snap2 menu icons below). Consequently, 01micko has developed a patch for fbpanel which enables correct resizing of xpm menu icons in slacko.
This gdk_pixbuf patch is for fbpanel in 32/64 bit releases of slacko which are based on slackware-14.1. The patch is not required for other Puppy distros. Note: this patch is optional for slacko since xpm icons are infrequent in the menu and resizing of icons may not be an issue for you (most menu icons are png or svg).
The following pets (available in the first post of this thread) contain a single patched binary file (fbpanel) which will install to the /usr/bin folder:
fbanel-6.1_slackofix_32Bit.pet
fbanel-6.1_slackofix_64Bit.pet
Thank you 01micko!
