After using Puppy when it looks like Windows, when it looks like itself with JWM and modifying it a few different ways, its good to be able to modify it in a way that is much more linux-like.
The Fluxbox window manager has a very clean, minimalist feel: no icons (traditionallly), a small task bar and everything controlled either via terminal or via the extensive right click menu. Fluxbox, at least to me, has always presented in somewhat of a picture frame format: it is all about the wallpaper and the menu.
I set this one up with a menu that is predominately Puppy but has modifications that I felt worked better with Fluxbox (for example, some of the jwm settings hence programs don't jive well with Fluxbox).
The menu is traditional fluxbox in a few ways, primarily in that it requires a modification of the menu file to change the menu. But that is all it requires.
So, if you want to modify something about the menu, simply:
Code: Select all
geany /root/.fluxbox/menu
Please give this puplet a test run and tell me if I can modify it in any way that would be helpful.
I have uploaded it to a file share website here:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/cn3n5i
However it would be helpful if someone else with the bandwidth would pick it up as I don't know how long the file will stay active on that site. It is only 97mb as I really, really tried to make it just Puppy 4.1.2 with Fluxbox and not add any of the many other programs that I enjoy.
If there are issues with that upload please tell me and I'll give it a shot again or try via a different route.
