Using the Openbox Theme Manager
It took me a while to configure my desktop after having installed:
New package: openbox-themes-1.0.2-2.spkg
I struggled to locate the theme and could initially find only Default and Gotham available with further possible modification available of the positioning of the dock through the Tint2 panel.
Finally after trying almost everything I hit upon GUI config and Voila! There it was - a whole smorgasbord of options.
I am currently using BBstyle as my GUI theme since it gives me the slimmest form factor which affords extra screen space on my 7-inch Eee PC 2G Surf.
Hope this helps others who install the openbox themes package.

encryption of savefile
Hi simargl,
I plan to add more features to encrypt the savefile like puppy.
any suggestions of where to start.
I think it had to edit the initrd file, right?
to modify some scripts.
Thanks in advance.

lsusb issue
in alphaos v5, after first booting, if we type "lsusb" command in terminal. :: unable to initialize libusb: -99
i found that the solution is just to plugin a usb flashdisk, after booting.

Re: encryption of savefile
Well, script for creating save file is /usr/sbin/makepfile.sh so probably that needs editing or maybe something more. I don't use or need encrypted save file.ndrancs wrote:Hi simargl,

Search function improved to show more details, still it searches only by package name not like in spkg_gui by name and description, then it would be too slow.

Added peasy2boot to alphaOS repository, with some fixes to work with new gtkdialog (gtk3),
use yad instead of xmessage and replaced icon (this one is 64x64).
Worked OK in test with Ubuntu 13.04 cd image. Simple and Easy way to make bootable USB stick.

I was thinking about updating peasy2boot. Easy2Boot it self is under heavy development.
When steve does a release I think I'll go for it.
Do you wanna know more about Easy2Boot checkout
https://sites.google.com/a/rmprepusb.com/www/tutorials/72---easyboot---a-grubdos-multiboot-drive-that-is-easy-to-maintain/e2bv1
Sim? Can I create a version that uses either gtk2 or gtk3? or do I have to do one for each?
Frugalware based alphaOS experimental announced here.
http://alphaos.freeforums.org/frugalwar ... s-t87.html
Your script peasy2boot was already working with gtk3 version, I just changed some icons and replaced xmessage dialog with yad. Also window default_height and default_width seem problematic with gtk3

I tested some iso images with Easy2Boot and it worked for ubuntu 13.04, ubuntu gnome3 version and cinnarch. only Fedora didn't work - that is why I downloaded ubuntu gnome3 image (gnome 3 is very nice btw).Scooby wrote:Excellent!

Fedora is not really priority for me, just wanted to test any distribution with gnome 3 and found this one http://ubuntugnome.org. You can relax, Easy2Boot is useful program, my intention was not to complain just to inform about what's working...
