Small Windowmanager Enlightenment DR 16-7
Thanks for making an e16 dotpup, but how to I get to the regular puppy menu? I can only launch apps that are on the desktop. I tried the menuedut dotpup, but after installing it, when I try to ru nthe program in the command line, I get this error:
# ./e16menuedit2

Brian, the menuedit.pup is just to add own entries to the enlightenment-menu.
It can not import the Puppy-menu.
I will write a script for that in the next days.
----
Nevermore:
I tried your .jwmrc, and found no errors.
Maybe you get some, if you run
/usr/local/Puppy-wxB-menue-0.8/Puppy-wxB-menue
from a consolewindow?
At moment, I have no idea why it won't work for you.
Hopefully the script I will make for enlightenent in some days will solve your problems.

try this:
edit
/usr/local/Puppy-wxB-menue-0.8/Puppy-wxB-menue
Replace the last 2 lines with this:
I also updated the wxb-menue Dotpup with this.

edit
/usr/local/Puppy-wxB-menue-0.8/Puppy-wxB-menue

But then you can not add new entries using the internal menueditor.
Or remove the Dotpups-entries with the inbuilt menueditor.
But when you install a new one, it will add itself there again.

another thing:
the wxB menu icon is sometime covered by the taskbar, so became impossible to use...
i don't have a middlebutton mouse so i can't move it..
i think it should be rather in the bottom center, so that it will be covered by jwm taskbar when using jwm and became visible on enlightenment

The icon should always float on top over all other icons.
If you run it from .xinitrc , you might have to run it delayed, so that it starts after enlightenment:
sleep 3 && /usr/local/Puppy-wxB-menue-0.8/Puppy-wxB-menue &
Then it should be on top of the topbar.
Or click -> menue-config -> restart menue
You can set it's position manually; change the values with leafpad in:
/root/.wxb-deskletts/#usr#local#Puppy-wxB-menue-0.8#resource_pos
To use the menu in Enlightenment only, you could use this in .xinitrc:

Puppy-Menu for e16:
*removed*
I updated the screenshots in thefirst message.
After installation, simply click it in ROX.
The first run takes some seconds, as it converts several icons.
Later you can run it again from the enlightenment-menu, for example after you installed a new Dotpup (Puppy - e16 - reload Puppy Menu).

I just wanted to post a couple of screenshots so you can see how good Puppy can look if you want. I still really like jwm as the window manager since it simply works well. However, I know some people have complained that Puppy is "too plain looking" to catch on with the mainstream users and that it needs a snazzy wallpaper, but after you see Puppy with Enlightenment it is one of the best looking (and more importantly, running) OS's out there. I know that Enlightenment doesn't exactly fit Puppy's goals of being a simple, somewhat minimalist distro, but that is the great thing about it...you can customize 'til your heart's content.
Notice the wonderful transparency on the menus.

I have to agree I use JWM (even though some questions recently as to its xvesa compatibility) quite happily
Of all the Wmangers I have tried in Puppy this Enlightenment seemed the one with the most tinkering potential
Maybe if we can simplify the dotpups needed into one script more people will try it . . .
This to me is Puppy at its best.
You follow Marks instructions. You create something really quite unique and you have fun with it. All the time you are aware that Puppy is fast and stable.
maybe we need to update our screenshots here:

and here:

Rhino, that looks great!
How did you get the menu transparent?
Here is another theme, I had to modify it (replace fonts, add epplet-classes).

To make the menus transparent just right click on the desktop...Desktop Background Settings.. and down at the bottom is the theme transparency settings. I have mine a 152. This tool also does a magnificent job of resizing images to perfectly fit the background in the Background image scaling and alignment.
If you right click on the desktop...Special Fx Settings, you can get some neat ripple and wave effects on the bottom of your screen. [/quote]

First remove some minor bugs (wrong fonts in some themes),and add some scripts for easier handling.
When that is done, I'll throw all together
Good news
It is time Puppy started looking less like Vesta (a sort of prepacked Microwave OS from Microphoney) wannabe
and more like the future OS it surely is
