Wolf Pup wrote:WhoDo, will the .sfs icons and menu entries for openoffice disappearing when EZpup is installed be fixed in EZpup2?
This problem may be a result of your version of Open Office not having specific .desktop files that can be wrapped into the menu system. It may also be a product of a later version installing Open Office at a different location than that provided with the .desktop files supplied in EZpup.
I may end up removing those .desktop files from EZpup, so they don't overwrite anything already installed. That should resolve the problem.
Cheers.

I like the new cursors (maybe pics can go somewhere) as a reminder?
The New VistaBlackIV is my favourite theme. I am not a fan of dark themes - but this has me converted It is very pleasant to have icons in the menu and the new backgrounds (cut down) are a worthy collection. The rain and splash. If I have a scenic background I tend to stare at it . . . Now we really have backgrounds such as the pastel Vista swirls.
It installed over the previous EZpup that I was using (yes I lost the open office icons)
Anyway Ez-Pup-2 will be part of Linux Tmxxine Beta 2

Gekko's compilation of mrxvt, available from the forum as a download. Just search Gekko's recent posts for mrxvt.

You can temporarily restore "glipper" with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and restarting xwin from the prompt. I've notice it disappears, too, and I think that's a function of where the applet is started from. I'm looking for it so I can relocate to a more permanent location in IceWM startup.
Glad you like EZpup. It's nice to be able to give something back to a community that has given me so much since I started.

Adding glipper to /usr/sbin/delayedrun fixes glipper disappearing.

Thanks, Wolf Pup. That seems to have worked. I'll keep my eye on it. It was being started from .xinitrc so it would disappear when IceWM was restarted without restarting X.
Cheers

Just reinstalled puppy using a frugal install of 2.16.1 of course one of the first things I did was to add Ezpup !
All went well, only a couple of things Im not sure of..'Xlock' Icon is visible but clicking on it nothing happens & 'Blinky' has a grey square around it instead of blending in with the black taskbar like it used to..
Not sure if this has anything to do with using a frugal install for the first time or perhaps something diff with Ezpup 2 ?

If you click on xlock to "test" that it's working, and you don't enter a password, you get a corrupt (null) encrypted password. Simply delete the /root/.xlock.rc file again and this time either don't click on xlock to test, or use a password you can remember and let xlock start.

Yes, your line for Blinky in startup is ok. Blinky picks up (for transparency purposes) the first taskbar background after it is started with the transparency option.
I suggest you comment out the line containing Blinky and reboot into your preferred theme. Then uncomment Blinky in startup and use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to exit to prompt. Restart IceWM with the full "xwin starticewm" commandline. Blinky "should" then pick up its transparent background from the current taskbar.
Hope that helps.

ohyes wrote:Blinky still a problem, keeps coming back with the grey square
Also tried overwriting with installing Ezpup again didnt do anything for me.
Edit startup to give blinky a background color - format as -bg "#ffffff" - shutdown and restart with the new color to ensure that blinky is reading the -bg switch. Then repeat process removing color data and leaving -bg "", shutdown and restart. Blinky should pick up the correct background info.
Also, double check that you have ColorNetIdle="" in either your /root/.icewm/preferences file or the default.theme file for the theme you are using. If that doesn't work, then I don't know what else to tell you, ohyes.

I changed Blinky bg colour in startup as below and rebooted but the colour still the same..so I guess bg colour switch is not working for some reason but why
Im not sure as to why but, ..the bg switch is not working..tried setting colour from the console ..no difference.
I then tried changing the GTK theme with the GTK THeme Chooser.
.. when I fire blinky up it shows the colour of the chosen theme every time ignoring any colour parameter I put in the bg switch
