Just a note before I go to the shed (offline) for some tetsing - thanks to all for 'things to watch out for' (keep'em on archived pp, lol but they add up a bit)
p3.2 - an idea struck (maybe PG or someone could look into) about perhaps automating an initial backup, normally I'm never a fan of automation unless it works faultlessly .. but this is one of those things that bites users who may not know or care how the filesystem or layers work. Plus the urge to personalize/'fix' is one of those things that can be a blessing or curse depending on the user and their expectations. Backups are something that's pretty much a given, but how to implement so it works and yet is simple enough to be effective for Joe User? There's almost always something that can make a long drawn-out complex fix a judgement call on whether it's worthwhile or time to walk away.
p3.14 - Good to see someone
finally fixed that fuzzy prawn
but will Ice always have those odd _s in the mainmenu?
p4.6 - oya, a 'fig utility for Ice would be a considerable added value
fyi, 'blind operators' -

p5.6 - @Lob', funny you mention that. Yep, there should be a toggle-off or 'tickler' for movies or other prolonged 'nonaction', but for most energy-conscious folk the default-off is a good thing. It's different for me on win32 since the .scr I use amuses the cat (priceless
: )
report - older ATI 9200 and Rage vidcards fine
p6.5 - Have to agree with Dinky on many widget points (but "sex sells", of course and only fitting that it should unless it turns out to be a date that's a bit more pricey than value received .. ahh, value - it's a pervasive thing). What works for me is to use widget-exec rather than fixwidgets .. this also tends to make the few widgets I use work well in other wms with their own unique background schemes (AS and a minimally duded-up Blackbox on the last rc, not sure just what all I used in the 1st alpha).
@ Widgets-Crew, great product and I'm sure it will continue to be further enhanced as to efficiency and useability with other wms
p7.1 - pprocess (what, you didn't make your own conky-widget, Trap?
)
.. someday maybe a 'n00Bz guyD 2 Wbar, Conky & other good stuff' ..
another vote for the 'Cadillac' of wallpapers
.. and now I shall retire to the shed for a bit - cya
