Yes, I see your point.
I seem to recall there are some puppies that were focused on handling the KDE range of programs. Hopefully someone may be able to post some info on what it takes to run such things - ie: what would need to be added to Tahr or Slacko etc to run them.
I seem to recall a number of comments that KDE was too weighty for the puppy environment but I would imagine modern machines would have no issues.

On the basis of your recommendation I gave F.lux a go - it's nice that they have a Linux native version. I had mixed success - if I entered the zipcode 90210 (which I think is Hollywood or somewhere similar) the screen slowly dimmed to a much softer light. However if I tried to enter my local NZ zipcode (or even Canadian zipcodes) it didnt recognise them. I also tried entering longitude and latitude but it didnt seem to understand them. And then at one point the screen went into this weird flashing between a blue tint and a rose coloured tint. Nearly turned me epilleptic
I think it could be a useful program but I suspect needs fine tuning for local needs. I only used the older cli interface which i was able to download as a .tgz - I suspect the gui method would have been much better but I am not familiar with github yet.
Properly configured F.lux could be a good addition to Puppy.
