hotbar font size
Magerlab, if you look in /etc/hotbar folder there is a script called restart_bar.
The font size is set in that.

Use the Margins setting in the Openbox Configuration Manager in the Desktop Menu.

Cups HPIJS
Is there a reason why the current Puppy and derivatives use only the Gutenprint drivers in Cups.I find them to be painfully slow with my HP5550 Deskjet printer.With Puppy 4.1.1 I can load the old cups version 0.3 Pet and as it has the HPIJS drivers in it ,it appears to combine with the included one and my printer works well with the recommended foomatic driver. With Box(which is otherwise really good)this does not happen for some reason.Also after doing the above gutenprint doesnt work either.
I have also downloaded the HPIJS package with the package manager but it will not operate with the existing Box Cups Package.
I would love to use Box but without the printer working it is less than ideal.
Any thoughts anyone.
Regards Dennis

I just registered to give kudos to gray for creating such an elegant pupplet. I like the choice of software that was bundled in compared with the main puppy linux. I support the idea of using Opera as the built in browser - it already has built in irc,mail rss,note taking and bittorent functionality (and so much more) built in. I wish that the big red O icon for opera was used though instead of the 'globe' icon.
pidgin
I prefer pidgin to ayttm and now there's a pet that works with boxpup

How do I add icons or menu items to the desktop?
I am very impressed with Boxpup and have added some programs running on wine. Everything works fine from the command line but I would like to create desktop icons or menu entries for them. I have tried to send the executables to the desktop but it appears to be locked. Does it come that way by default? If so, how do I unlock it?
Later: I have now edited /root/.wbar so I have that sorted. I have also replaced the Internet icon with Opera icon. A copy is attached below for anyone who wants it. Copy it into /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps and amend the entry for "Internet" to point to it.
However, I would still like to know how to edit the right-click menu on the desktop for additional applications I don't want to include in wbar. How do manual additions affect the "refresh menu" option?

Re: How do I add icons or menu items to the desktop?
I noticed that you were asking about putting Icons on the desktop and I thought it was mentioned earlier in the thread but it was actually in the original Boxpup thread, Open box doesn't support desktop icons or have a taskbar on it's own. I suppose for someone with limited resources a Puplet with openbox without the docks would be a little bit smaller and quicker but Boxpup is so beautiful it would need to be a separate project. you might like to read the original thread for the original boxpup so I found it and coppied the link for youTerryphi wrote:I am very impressed with Boxpup and have added some programs running on wine.

Hi to all,
I find the new Boxpup superb, but I have a problem.
Anyone can suggest me a good audio cd player ?
With Xine, when I play an audio cd, I got several "jump" on the sound reproduction.
It happens at regular intervals making impossible to listen a song...
Another question: is possible install Thunar-volman ?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.

open office 3
WOOHOO!!! Got OpenOffice3.sfs loaded and working. Now just got to get my canon pixma ip2600 working and I'll really be a happy camper. Anybody know anything about using turboprint in puppy? Seems like I saw something about it in another post somewhere. But, looking at their sight I'm not sure if I would need the rpm, deb, or tar gz package. Managed to get this printer to work in ubuntu, before I discovered this wonder distro. Maybe I could just drag the ppd file out of the hdd that was on and try to stuff it into the cups if someone could tell me where to stick it. Be nice now!
Anyway, enough rambling! Puppy is one Amazing distro, and boxpup is an absolute thing of beauty. Thanks so much for all the fine work you all do! And with a little time and patience, maybe I can give back and contribute a little to this wonderful community in the future.
