Slacko 5.7 final - 8 March 2014
Thanks BigPup
I was aware and had tweaked those settings already.
I think its just a question of the different web sites I tend to visit using different layouts where the messages and message posting boxes use different fonts/sizes. Such that what's reasonable on one site is small on another (or big on another).
I've established a reasonable compromise, and the zoom plugin also helps.

I have not good eyes too. I've changed only color of the text to white. Former color was to dark for me especialy on dark background.rufwoof wrote:I'm looking forward to zigbert's util.
Am I the only one (perhaps colour blind) that has problems with matching jwm with gtk themes and/or getting colour/theme/message settings that are functionally usable in practice?
Yep terminal default colors are to dark (at least for me).Standard Slacko 5.7.0 - I couldn't read terminal well. htop also a strain (I've set mine to monochrome). For some themes the speaker/internet tray icons night on disappear. Geany orange text is also a strain IMO. But it might just be me - aging eyes.
It will be nice if font will be bold.
I have suggestion for partview or system graph applet to add bar for system memory usage.
Edit:
I've found better font for me. In console icon as argument put this:
Code: Select all
-fn -*-fixed-bold-r-*-*-15-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Code: Select all
xfontsel
Code: Select all
urxvt.font: xft:Nimbus Mono L:style=Regular:pixelsize=14
Code: Select all
urxvt.font: -*-fixed-bold-r-*-*-15-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Default font in terminal looks good on LCD monitor but on CRT bold font is better. And LCD screens are lighter than (old) CRT screens. Besides TTF fonts leaves some artifacts in terminal (small dots). With X fonts i haven't seen any artifacts.

Your code give me an idea to make rox-app for this (only Polish and English locales included).Karl Godt wrote:Useso it does print the selected fonts to a file.Code: Select all

Shutdown app is nice but little slow (slow start, is this problem with svg graphics?) on my old machine so I've made JWM button to shutdown my computer quicker. I've made button for save option too. I've tried to delete save icon from my desktop but after reboot it appears again. So how to delete it forever.
If anybody wants the same option, edit file:
and add two lines after Clock tag:
And i have an idea to make JWM shutdown button with options from shutdown app. Is there any quicker scriptable toolkit than gtkdialog or i have to code it in Bacon or C?
Edit for curious people: hand on the screenshots belongs to Josie Maran

Bug in current Shutdown processing
Bug Report
when shutting down, if I choose to change folder at shutdown "Sanity Check" to /mnt/sda2/Slacko57, the system WILL NOT save the session. Hitting the Yes, Save button will quickly move from X-desktop to the console window. I see a terminal message of unable to save session and exiting without save. Again it ONLY happens when I change the folder to where i want the save-session to be saved. The following does not create the save-session.
But, if I leave the original "root" (ie "/") and accept the Summary without changing, the shutdown processing will create the save session in the root of the drive.
Here to help.

gcmartin,
Where exactly are the other Puppy files located on hard drive?

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Slacko was booted Pristine from a CD. The HDD is ext4 formatted partition. All works well without changes to the screen which present ONLY "/" initially, BUT if you change the directory to what is show in the pic, for example, the save-session will NOT save to the "change" directory which is shown in the picture (namely /mnt/sda2/Slacko57).bigpup wrote:Where exactly are the other Puppy files located on hard drive?
BTW, rebooting and moving the items Shutdown placed in root to the target folder manually, the system finds his save-session on a subsequent reboot (as it does normally). So, the placement of the save-session does not matter at boot time whether it is in the root or the target directory. Further, the system saves all system updates to that changed directory's save-session file as you expect.
Question
Is there something that should be known about some preexisting PUPPY files in Slacko57-Final that would allow shutdown to behave one way when save-session to root directory and another way when save session to a non-root directory?
Hope this is clear for understanding

Hi Micko, I downloaded your slacko around 3 weeks back, I added Xine,VLC, flash,Chrome and gimp.
Yes Chrome, As you know I've always been a Firefox user, but lately The latest ones are really getting slow after they've they've been running for week. I addded adBlock to chrome and boy does that ever kill the ads on FB,Torrent sites, Popups, just makes the browsers work perfect all the time.
VLC,gimp runs great. Pretty much all you need. I did have some issues with slow repo servers.
I also Installed LxTask and pmusic plugin EQ. If I'm going to use a min music player a eq is a must , LxTask is simple and easy to use. One of my favorite task managers.
This is a great release. I can't fault it on my end what so ever Great work.
Jeff
