EZpup-2.1.7 now available!
EZpup-2.1.7 now available!
In honor of my upcoming 57th birthday (June 22), I've just uploaded EZpup-2.1.7 to our mirrors. I couldn't wait for Puppy 2.17 and judging by Barry's blog, I may need to update EZpup again sometime after that's released anyway.
PkaG has mirrored here:
http://www.pkagfiles.net/puppy-files/
and MU will advise the location on his mirror shortly.
EZpup-2.1.7 completely supercedes EZpup-1 and EZpup June Edition. Both may be removed and replaced by the latest version, which is still only 15Mb packed.
New features include X11 mouse cursor themes, new wallpapers, and some modified buttons for the Vista_Black_IV theme. I have also included the new Liberation Truetype fonts, a patched Freememapplet and updated the mime-types for Rox 2.6
Cheers

.... and a very small 'issue.' Is there some way to change the pawprint on the menu to 'something else'? Like 'start' or 'menus'? This is a machine that I will use in business travel, and I would like to show puppy off, but it needs to look 'serious.' I think the paw print is not 'in sync' with the rest of the looks of ezpup.. which I really like a lot!

Menu entries are controlled by .desktop files in /usr/share/applications directory. There are entries there for Open Office and its various programs, but they clearly don't point to the correct locations for your version of Open Office. At a console typefriedsonjm wrote:OK... I did it, love the look... but once again, my Open Office menu items have all disappeared! Do I need to reinstall OO again??? Some way to get them back on the menus?
Code: Select all
sh-3.00# which swriter
As these files are apparently not installed in a single, standard location, I will remove any Open Office .desktop files from future versions of EZpup to avoid this problem occurring again.
Hope that helps.

The default start button is located in /root/icewm/themes/VistaBlack_IV/taskbar, and can be changed for any one of the others in that same location simply by renaming the desired button as icewm.xpmfriedsonjm wrote:.... and a very small 'issue.'

Then use menu>Window Manager>Restart Icewm to see the new button. Easy. You can even substitute one of the start buttons from any of the other installed themes using the same process.
Hope that helps.

Thanks, Wolf Pup. As I suspected the problem arises because the 2.20 version installs Open Office in /opt directory. Previous versions were in /usr/local.Wolf Pup wrote:here's how to fix the openoffice icons in EZpup
I'll look at the efficacy of including these mods in future versions of EZpup, too.

WhoDo,
Your EZpup is awesome!! I was even thinking that now windows users would want to have the same icons!
Maybe it's now time to create puppy themes for windows, instead of making windows themes for puppy!!!!
Thanks a lot for your work!

I forgot to ask, do you know, by any chance, how to change the "quicklaunch" icons?

Anticipating your every need ( ) I have created an EZpup Help page on the wiki. Your answer is in there, under adding shortcut icons to the taskbar which is done using the same file.gdemonta wrote:I forgot to ask, do you know, by any chance, how to change the "quicklaunch" icons?

I'm gonna try this as soon as possible! By the way, I can see we are using the same aeofox theme!
Another question: do you think by reducing the taskbar height of one pixel will solve the little irregularity we can see around the quicklaunch icons or is ot far more complicated to solve?
Thanks

Puppy with ezPup vs Hacao
thanks WhoDo for answering my puppy/hacao questions over on Distrowatch, and Happy Birthday!
but I have a couple more questions
does ezPup set up Wine/WineXS, CUPS, Skype, Yahoo! Messenger, Java installer and the other extras found in Hacao? The look is very nice but those are the things about Hacao that really grabbed my interest. (The ezpup help page seems to list only GUI modifications.)
if not, does anyone know if is there another "metapackage" or puplet to take care of all that? (I see one called 2.16 NOP, with IceWM, OOo, CUPS & XSane; but not the other features)
thanks in advance

Not sure what you mean by "irregularity". Can you post a closeup image of the problem here so I can see what you mean by that?

Re: Puppy with ezPup vs Hacao
No. EZpup is about GUI modifications and usability features like PSI.klu9 wrote:does ezPup set up Wine/WineXS, CUPS, Skype, Yahoo! Messenger, Java installer and the other extras found in Hacao?
There is no such metapackage that I'm aware of BUT if NOP is closest to what you want, then my suggestion would be to install EZpup on that, or Puppy's Software Installer (PSI), and then all of the missing packages are only 2 clicks away. Check out the link to see how comprehensive it is.klu9 wrote:if not, does anyone know if is there another "metapackage" or puplet to take care of all that?

On this picture you can see that on each side of the quicklaunch icons, the taskbar isn't completely straight: the image under each icons is not entirely in line with the rest of the taskbar.
In order to solve it, I tried to increase the height of the taskbar, it kind of worked, but a white line appeared at the bottom of the taskbar, which wasn't very nice so I reverted back to the default.
There is also similar problems with some tray icons, except the CPU load.
Do you think it could be easily solved? is it possible to edit some xpm or png picture anywhere?
P.S. By the way, happy birthday!!

Thanks, James. Much appreciated.jamesbond wrote:Happy belated birthday, Warren
Didn't see this thread until it's too late to say so !
It would probably be possible to fix by rejigging the taskbar background and button background files in /root/.icewm/themes/VistaBlack_IV/taskbar directory. Make a copy first if you are going to play around with it.gdemonta wrote:Do you think it could be easily solved? is it possible to edit some xpm or png picture anywhere?
