Blinky v0.8, now in stores!
Blinky v0.8, now in stores!
I had the time lately to give Blinky the love it deserves, so I added some stuff and produced the 0.8 release v0.8 handles better the computer redrawing, has -v (or --version) command line argument, features an enhanced option window and forces it to open only once, and generally is a lot cooler .
Please upgrade Blinky to v0.8 in the next Puppy (1.0.9 / 109 / 200 or whatever name it shall get ), thanks!

When using previous version of Blinky I tried to change the background color to:
Code: Select all
blinky -bg "#EEDFCC"
I tried Blinky 0.8 in Puppy2a-11apr06 and it solved the problem.
I mentioned the solution in Puppy developer forum:

lior2b Nice job!
Nathan has already added it to Puppy 1.09 I believe

Which will also have:

- Firefox-1.5.0.1 with Puppy bookmarks
Leafpad default editor
Geany as second editor, Beaver removed
Leon, Puppy 1.0.8 and Puppy 2 previews use Blinky 0.6 which doesn't have this feature... I'm glad you updated and got the wanted results
Lobster thanks! It means that JWM will be in 1.0.9 too? If so, upgrading to the latest JWM should be on the list too! (I hope JWM 1.6 will be released soon)

There hasn't been an official resolution to the issue of which window manager will be used, but in order to make some progress we're moving forward with JWM. As of right now it's version 1.4 with Blinky 0.8 but JWM may get the upgrade as well. I've been rereading through a bunch of posts (many of Lior2b's) and working to improve the default configuration first.

Bring on the locusts ...
I got a request, if Blinky can be used in Icewm-ultra.
It required only a slight modification, to run as "eggtrayicon" instead of as Gtkwindow.
This trayicon now can be used in all windowmanagers supporting trayicons (KDE, Fluxbox etc.).
Just 4 lines in blinky.c were changed.
Binary and source:
http://dotpups.de/diverse-tgz/Blinky-0. ... ayicon.tgz
Extract for example to /root
Add this to your startupfiles (.xinitrc for other windowmanagers or /root/.icewm/startup for icewm-ultra):
/root/blinky-0.8-patched-trayicon/src/blinky &
To deactivate the inbuilt connection-status of icewm, edit /root/.icewm/preferences.
Replace
TaskBarShowNetStatus=1 # 0/1
with:
TaskBarShowNetStatus=0 # 0/1
--------------------
I compiled it in Puppy 2.10, tell me if it does not work in older ones, then I will recompile in Puppy 108.

Tried to run Blinky as suggested but it doesn't want to play. I'm using Puppy 2.02CE.
Cheers,
Warren

Thanks for your quick response

You pass the parameter to blinky in startup as follows:ttuuxxx wrote:which folder / file/ location do I change blinky's background colour? , any examples?

Code: Select all

Ok, where else to post this? This seems ok. (network_tray)
This is Barry's latest source (includes i18n) hacked for tray icon changing (same as ttuuxxx above) and also hacked to show IP address on a LAN on mouse over.. someone requested that .. somewhere???
I'm not sure how it will react with ppp connections though as it looks for the IP with ifconfig, though if the IP is NULL there is a check for that. Might be ok, reports needed.
Attached is the source and a pet compiled in latest slacko-beta (ymmv). Someone might want to use the pet as a template and compile for wary/lupu/whatever. This has a frisbee compatible startup script designed by rerwin. It makes no difference whether you have frisbee installed or not, but if you are running frisbee it will not show.
Edit: reuploaded pet, bug in change icons script
