Glad you like it, there is a bit of a dependancy nightmare for PPM packages, as this one is a real mongrel, but I got a few big apps working after checking the deps and installing them. All worked fine once all deps were added (also through the PPM).. The way repo works better than the old pup4 repo, anyway!Puppyt wrote:Cheers sc0ttman! I had a look at your example provided and it looks much better than the standard PPM - with it's un-resizable inner window and attribute columns. Good job!sc0ttman wrote: On another note, I have successfully added the Wary repo to the PPM.
I like the theme, too.. But if you don't like blue, you're screwedLove the clean look, though labels on my multiple partitions and usb drives would be useful. While first running it 'live' I liked the APPS option in the taskbar(?) heaps, but strangely it didn't work after I installed Akita to HD.
The drive lables and mnt points are shown in a popup tooltip..
I would love to recompile JWM to have a zero second delay on its button tooltips!
And I will see about adding volume labels to the JWM drives script if I can,
although anything too large changes the background behind the icons.. looks ugly.
The uploaded alpha has a bug in switching the desktops, I think..
It messes up the buttons required for loading the Apps menu,
making the taskbar button not work...
If you ran toggle-rox-desktop, (or maybe refreshdesktop) then that would be it.. If not, no idea..
Yeah, it's a 'light' version from goingnuts, still looking into alternatives.The network applet I haven't seen working yet, and I can't start the network options from there.
Clicking on it does nothing, and apparently it doesn't work for wifi.
I want all tray apps loadable as a choice in the 'Startups' manager.
I do not want to hard code them to always start (as is the normal puppy way).
That's why I haven't got around to adding the normal network tray tool to 'Startups'.
(but freememapplet is there, I will also add the normal network tray tool)
I will look at adding goingnuts latest tray apps (pmmon5),
as well as the traditional puppy tray tools as startup options in 'Startups'.
I'll recompile it. Thanks for catching that!Can't seem to get Xpad working either - I get the sticky, but I can't enter data and it won't respond to preference changes. Shame - I really like Xpad.
I've tried to squeeze in as many good, light apps as I can. And the Firedog deps dont matter..You've picked a great selection of other apps there too - great to see radky's control panels in there. Liked your browser selector very much too, although after I installed FireDog 3.6 I got some strange missing dependencies. I don't think it hurt the install though as it seemed to be fine when I tested it, online.
Hmmm... I wanna get this sorted if I can... But know so little..However - I have to keep setting up the network on each reboot - there's no apparent memory of previous settings (in Frisbee anyway), and no autoconnect.
I'm hoping a wifi wizard can give my alpha a good going over!
Autoconnect should work, and I have upgraded the ROX "Connect" icon..
Although it is hidden by default, you need to run 'toggle-rox-desktop', to enable the ROX desktop.
Then you need to run "desksetup" to choose to show full icon set.
(This will all be simpler later, I promise...)
After all this, there is a right click option on the "Connect" icon, to enable or disable autoconnect... It was done by shinobar, I have not tested it as my eth0 (wired) connection always works at first boot and all reboots...
yeah, something may have gone wrong there.. should not auto shutdown, there are always dialogs..Perhaps my hiccups have something to do with a weird behaviour I got earlier on a previous boot: I clicked somewhere near Osmo on the taskbar (lower left) and Akita went into immediate shutdown (no shutdown options like normal).
or maybe not for full HD install.. never done one.. have to have a think.
Thanks for all your info and support.. MUCH appreciated.Hope to give you new and improved feedback tomorrow, after a re-install -
Thanks!
I look forward to further reports or problems found.
